I'm looking for a gigabit switch in my room to hopefully get rid of the bottleneck of data from the powerline adapters and my pc/other pcs (the cisco 10/100 switch - handy for lanning but cr*p for file transfer)
So i'm looking at gigabit switches, managed to be honest - any difference in brands? I was looking at the usual culprits - netgear, dlink etc.
I use this one :
Netgear GS608 8 Port Gigabit Platinum Switch (£49.99inc. vat)

But there is a 5 port version : http://www.ebuyer.com/product/64190 (£34.98inc. vat)
Cheers the 8 port one seems to be what im after, also decided I probably dont need managed haha
Found it for £39.99 on amazon/play
I like the HP ProCurve switches.

Same here, I use an 8 port ProCurve on my network.
I hear HPs process data faster than Cisco switches.
