    HP ProCurve 1810G-8 - any opinions ?

    I put two of these into a relatively large school network at the start of the year. Overall I'm pretty happy with them. Positives: - Well built - Silent - Come with nice mounting options - Lifetime warranty - User interface is nice and clear - Graphical representation of the switch on the...

    A Few Questions about Gigabit Ethernet

    Hi there, I've used loads of unmanaged Netgear GS605/GS608 and ProSafe GS105 ("blue box") switches and have never had one second's trouble with any of them. I've also had generally great experience with D-Link's DGS-1005D/DGS-1008D/E "green" switches, although a power supply did go on one of...

    Reliable Smart Switch

    Update: Having some good experiences with D-Link DGS-1224T gigabit smart switches at the moment. Although two 5 year old ones in a customer's site are giving a bit of trouble. Fingers crossed!

I guess I've had it in for Linksys since having 3 x SDM2008 Switches and an Access Point die in customer sites in quick succession and found their RMA procedures cumbersome. But maybe it's time to reconsider! Only thing is, I'd need a 24 port switch so I...

    Reliable Smart Switch

    Thanks MadKing, you certainly have a point. Only thing is I'm not too impressed with HP's lower-end ProCurve switches, the 1810G range. I'll keep on looking I guess!

    Reliable Smart Switch

    Hi, can anyone recommend any 8/16/24/48 port gigabit ethernet smart switches with 2 SFP ports that are extremely reliable but don't cost a fortune? I've been working with switches since 2000 and traditionally used Cisco which were very reliable but very expensive. I have found Linksys to...
