1297124 2012-08-26 05:08:00 Currently have a linksys wrt54g running tomato which is fine but we are well short on ports. We have 4 desktops, server, PS3, Xbox360, tv and a printer that all want to be plugged in so looking for an 8 port hub to allow for any extras.

Gigabit is a must but doesn't need to be packed full of features. I'm thinking we would run it off the linksys with printer, ps3 and xbox on linksys as well. Does that work?

1297125 2012-08-26 07:18:00 I've used these: Digitus 8 port Gb Switch (www.dove.co.nz). About $70 retail and works fine - has average specs for the price. wuppo (41)
1297126 2012-08-26 07:20:00 Could do the trick. Pretty sure dad still has an account with dove to. hueybot3000 (3646)
1297127 2012-08-26 09:08:00 Why not upgrade the device to this instead for $20 more:

1297128 2012-08-26 09:22:00 Not enough ports for us on that one Chill hueybot3000 (3646)
1297129 2012-08-26 09:55:00 There's plenty if you keep your current one too, coz lets be honest you don't need to have gigabit to a PS3 ;) Chilling_Silence (9)
1297130 2012-08-26 10:18:00 www.ascent.co.nz I have used before and works well.
Or this maybe an option but might be a little over the top for your needs. www.ascent.co.nz .
Or www.ascent.co.nz might be a go.

1297131 2012-08-26 10:19:00 So your saying have 2 routers? I wouldn't have a clue how to set that up. But yes only the desktops on gigabit, and maybe the printer as I do have some pretty un-ecofriendly moments with it! hueybot3000 (3646)
1297132 2012-08-26 10:22:00 Dlink options look good, would probaly go 8 port just cos. These have definitely come down in price since I last looked hueybot3000 (3646)
1297133 2012-08-26 11:24:00 I have a couple of cheap TP-Link 5 port switches myself, seem to work just fine and never had a problem with them. dugimodo (138)
