Hi guys,
Long time reader, first time posting
Both of these switches are on NCIX this week for $139. Ive maxed out my current 8 port network switch and I'd like to buy another single solution (so I dont have to daisy chain) switch that will hopefully provide enough ports for the forseeable future in the house I live in.
So my question is what is the difference between these two switches and which one would you buy if you were me? I am pretty new to networking so I dont understand all the features of these two switches, nor am I sure if I will ever use all of the features of either one. I'm sure a 16 port switch will suffice, but with a 24 port I will likely never need to add another switch to my network ever again.... So which one is the better bang for the buck?
