Gigabit Switch Recommendations
Hi, I'm thinking about buying a new switch for my home network. I have three in mind (yes I know they're overkill but I like toys!) Netgear GS716T D-link DGS-1216T Linksys SRW2016 Has anybody used any of these, and got and good/bad experiences? Thanks Chris -- Chris ---------------------------------- E Mail: chris@glovercc.plus.com SIP: 84411389@voiptalk.org IAXTEL: 17003366726
Dell! No, really, they often have the 16-port gigabit web managed switch for a stupidly low price, usually less than their 8-port one. I think mine was £87 On a related note, could anyone use a 56-port fully managed modular switch? I'm thinking of selling mine as I don't use it any more...

Is it fanned? I had a nice managed 100baseT switch with GigE uplink ports on it in my study, but it was too noisy so I replaced it with a basic 100baseT switch that didn't have any fans.

Nope, Dell switch is completely fanless.

Hi Matt Thanks for the info, I never considered Dell (mostly due to the amount of time I spend replaced dead Maxtor drives in our PCs at work!). I still like the look of the Linksys SRW2016, and the D-Link is tempting as well as it's the cheapest switch I've found that can do Spanning tree (not that I really need it!)

Damn that's a good offer! I just bought one. When I first looked it said £159, then I found if you look in the Small Business section it has the offer. Thanks for everybodys advice Chris On Thu, 2007-04-19 at 17:38 +0100, mephi wrote:

That's exactly what I thought when I first saw it :-) And a gigabit switch isn't overkill, a 16U rack, now that's overkill... -----Original Message----- From: main-bounces@lists.alug.org.uk [mailto:main-bounces@lists.alug.org.uk] On Behalf Of Chris Glover Sent: 19 April 2007 17:49 To: main@lists.alug.org.uk Subject: RE: [ALUG] Gigabit Switch Recommendations Damn that's a good offer!

I'm looking at the manual now, and it seems the 8-port and 16-port are fanless. Manual is here http://support.euro.dell.com/support/edocs/network/PC27xx/en/ug/PDF/UG_ENd.p... Chris -- Chris ---------------------------------- E Mail: chris@glovercc.plus.com SIP: 84411389@voiptalk.org

"None of the above"! :-) I have a USRobotics model 7930 which when I bought it a year or so ago was the cheapest I could find. Ever since it has just worked. -- Chris Green
