HP ProCurve 1800 8-Port Gigabit Ethernet J9029A

Hewlett Packard ProCurve 1800 8-Port Gigabit Ethernet Switch (J9029A)

from leagle, www.newegg.com
if you are familiar with networking, then this switch is great for home use.
from Jason, www.newegg.com
don't expect a massive speed difference if you're using it in a home network.
from N/A, www.newegg.com
buying this 8 port for home use and based on specs it to should out perform similar cisco switches (which run almost as much for 8 ports as the 24 port hp).
from www.amazon.com
if you are serious about home networking, skip the cheap stuff and get this.
from Gé, www.newegg.com
packet forwarding is fast assuming the attached computers can keep up (i had to replace one network card).supports port mirroring, which helps with diagnosing network protocol issues.configuration

from N/A, www.newegg.com
that's freaking amazing to me....it used to take like 30 minutes on my old home network to transfer a file that large (although i think i had other issue before, crapyp switch probably).
from Fourth Horseman, www.newegg.com
also, at this price it's tempting for home use, but be aware that like most enterprise switches this one has cooling fans and is a bit loud.
from N/A, www.newegg.com
my nfs and ldap computer lab now functions flawlessly.

Netgear ProSafe 24 Port Fast 10/100 Smart

$408.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
some reviews said it was a bit noisy, but this is not obvious in our home run room.
from www.amazon.com
the poe works perfectly and provides just enough ports for home surveillance.
from www.amazon.com
my only complaint with the unit is the fan is louder than i expected, noticeable loud in a room with a couple computers also running.

ZyXEL PLA470 4-Port Ethernet

$84.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
it's true that homeplug av nodes cannot intercommunicate with homeplug 1.0 nodes.
from RIch, www.newegg.com
i uninstalled the utility and reinstalled it, rebooted the computer, and all worked ok.instructions for use are probably not that clear to people who are not technical - see "other thoughts".
from www.amazon.com
i had a client with a log home which gave no ergonomic way or aesthetic way to run ethernet cable.
from www.amazon.com
i bought the pla470 for my home office where i can connect my computer, internet telephone box, printer and network storage all together to share the powerline network.
from www.amazon.com
very good value.previously, i bought a pair of powerline adapters to connect the routers and one computer and found they are easy to install and connected at good speed.

NetGear ProSafe™ GS716T 16-Port Ethernet

$315.00 Est. at Amazon

from clewin, www.newegg.com
i dont hear it when the door is closed so for me it is an awesome home networking piece of equipment; maybe i should have gotten the 24 port?
from notlisted, www.newegg.com
in a server room or enclosed network closet this thing would be relatively silent, but sitting in a rack in my home office i can hear the fan noise from across the room.
from fozi, www.newegg.com
would work fine in a datacenter or network closet but not in an office or home.

from computererds, www.newegg.com
other thoughts: i used to like netgear, i used them for home products.
from Demise, www.newegg.com
i tested it with a single computer connected - after a while it still shows connectivity but no traffic flows.

worked great (i thought this was a switch for data!?) i powered on my computers one morning and nothing worked.
from www.amazon.com
at first, my computer's network card kept getting disconnected and i'd have to reboot the switch.

other thoughts: for home or very small business (
from Tera-Byte, www.newegg.com
the switch is suppose to have qos options, however it causes jitter on my home office voip service line.
from Alex, www.newegg.com
other thoughts: this is a home/office switch, don't plan on it being as powerful as a cisco switch.
from RAS434, www.newegg.com
other thoughts: not a best bet for your average home network, get an unmanaged switch unless you have a specific need for all the features.
