16 port switch (GBit)

ChrisD. · 25 Feb 2013 at 19:29

I'm expanding my home network somewhat and my current D Link 5 port switch is at capacity as is my RT-N56U. Over the coming months I'll be adding a NAS, HTPC and also a new amp and as I understand it they now have internet capability.

So I'm looking at getting a half decent 16 port switch to cope with the extra demand rather than daisy chaining which is something I'd like to avoid.

I'd love a Cisco switch but I'd end up just playing with it and they are mega expensive so I would like some alternate suggestions around the £100 or so mark.

Thanks.

HP 1410-16G?

It's the one I was looking at, has the benefit of not being 19" as well.

Another vote for HP Procurve.

Thanks but I prefer the HP switch as it isn't as wide hence easier to hide.
