1170345 2011-01-17 01:20:00 I am going to redo my network and want to run gigabit every where if possible.
What is a good 8 port gigabit switch?

1170346 2011-01-17 01:37:00 My favorite is the cheapest, just personally ;)

Does it need to be rackmount? PoE? Cheap? Reliable? Managed?

1170347 2011-01-17 03:19:00 So no specific brand or model is better in your opinion? nedkelly (9059)
1170348 2011-01-17 06:10:00 A switch is a switch. Some brands are more reliable than others, but if it's just a home network, it really doesn't matter unless you have really unusual uptime requirements. somebody (208)
1170349 2011-01-17 06:18:00 I'm using a 5 port GB switch, connected to a 1 port modem / router. Nothing wrong with it. Since I've hooked it up, its been fine Speedy Gonzales (78)
1170350 2011-01-17 06:45:00 Agreed, for home use, I'd just get TPLink or something cheap like that - they do the job. Wouldn't touch one for anything remotely mission-critical in an enterprise environment but hey, I'm using one atm and it's been going just fine. inphinity (7274)
1170351 2011-01-17 07:52:00 My thoughts exactly!
