Best 8 Port Gigabit Network Switch
Last response: in Networking
Hello all,
I've normally got the knack for searching through posts (or google or forums in general) to figure out what hardware to go for but this one has stumped me as they mostly seem much the same.
I need a new 8 gigabit port switch and don't know what make to go for. Cisco seems to be a top choice but I need some guidance, or rather help to make a decision! I live in the UK, I don't think many of the major products are unavailable here.
Thanks in advance
Adam

Hey Adam,
Two brands you really can't go wrong with are Cisco, and D-Link. I personally use D-Link hardware myself and swear by it, but I have many friends who use Cisco gear and also swear by it.
I can't give you a specific model number to look for on the Cisco side, but if you decide to go D-Link, look for the DGS-1008G. I have several of these both for home and work use and have never had a problem with them. Hopefully someone else will see this and suggest something on the Cisco side as well to give you at least one other option.
Good luck!
