hmm yeah sorry didn't see you specced a different switch, the TP link router was £20, Netgear unmanaged was £29 and the managed one was £31 you guys think I may aswell just get the managed £31 option? I suppose its handy for cable tests and at only £10 more its no real biggie.. I assume it'll still be plug and play regardless I can just connect to it to do the things you mentioned above farrar?
I watched the video on the synology and being able to add a USB hard drive and use it sorta like a NAS is pretty cool and handy for network photo storage and stuff as I wouldn't waste my money on a NAS when everything I have is loseable so to speak, would be handy for storing Drivers, install files and things like that I guess and I assume with it not being used for backups and that kind of thing it wouldn't kill my internet using the storage space through the router?
