When we're talking about switches mix and matching brands should not be an issue because network traffic is standardized. However, depending on how it's wired up a lower quality switch may reduce network throughput via the "weakest link" effect.
It's never a good idea to have more than one router on a home network, because they
will conflict and it's just a question of how much.
