I am running CAT5E cable from my Cable Modem (Virgin Media) to a Linksys BEFSR41 4 port router which forms my internet gateway.
Id like to change to a Gigabit network and am after Router and NIC recommendations.
Id need a minimum of 6 ports on the router (preferably 8+), and to be able to connect to the cable modem much as the Linksys currently does. I understand Cat 5E is sufficient, but is there any other advice or things to look out for at this stage? One of the PCs is running Vista, the others are Server 2003 (standard).
