    I managed to download the firmware from http://h10144.www1.hp.com/customercare/support/software/summarypages/p-j1810-c.htm However when I updated the firmware and rebooted the switch the interface still shows software version P.1.14 and not P.1.17. Do you think I have a faulty switch?

    Cheers I went for the HP in the end. PoE would have been a nice feature, however that comes at a price which I cannot afford. I was lucky to get the HP for that price to be honest. ;)

    I've created a thread in suggestions ;) I am hoping you can do a round up reveiw of 24 port smart switches, similar to the reveiw you did for the 8 port unmanaged switches.

    Need more Ethernet ports..

    Nope if your modem/router gigabit already. However, if the switch has QOS, traffic prioritisation, link aggregation, Green switching, jumbo frames etc then it us best connecting everthing to the switch to monitor and get best performace as these features are generally lacking in modem/routers...

    I've never heard of TP-LINK but that does not mean that it is good. I prefer to stay with the "big boys" and more well revered products. Netgears warranty makes it a very tempting prospect just to go with them, but I am unsure which ones are Green. would love a Cisco but I'm on a very limited...
