Should I get a Manage Switch or Unmanage

[HKSturboKID]

My linksys 8 port is dying and I am looking to get a 16 port switch. The 2 that I am looking into are the netgear fs116 or Cnet Cnsh1600.

I also have a cisco 1900 series 24 ports but its only 10mbps. What I wanted to do is have have separate vlans for my private network and share network over my DSL lines.

Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

well the Cisco 1900 rocks. I used it till my network outgrew it (computes never had speed issue, just needed more ports)
