Switch for Home

[Chewey]

Hi. I've got a few machines lying around the house that I'd like to network to share my Internet connection. Does anyone have any suggestion/experience on a good switch? My criteria are as follows:
- 10/100MBit
- 8 ports
- good expandability should the need arise
- lots of lights. 🙂

Any and all help would be great. Thanks.

I notice that low cost isn't in the list. 🙂

I like Netgear's stuff. The FS108 or the FS308 should fit your needs. 8 port switch. 10/100Mb. Uplink port. Lots and lots of lights. Roughly $110. See here. I have the FS105 at home (the 5 port version) and it works fine for me.

Oops... forgot one. 🙂

I wanted to keep it around $200 CDN (roughly $140US), so your suggestion is appropriate. Thanks for the info.

I second the vote for the Netgear 🙂

I have an Intel InBusiness 8 port 10/100. No problems at all, its plastic though...
