Hi Folks looking to purchse a 16p Gigabit Switch. Which would be a better choice of these 2 or should I dump them and go for somthing else? This is for a home network.

All advice welcome, Thank you all in advance

16p is quite cheap!

There's very little difference between unmanaged switches really; either should do the job equally well.

Nah these things are 119.98... LOL

Shame Scan do not price match.


Found very little info or reviews on the Belkin even at the main site.

I also have heard statments that some Gigabit switches block UPNP requests. I did not think that was possible with an unmanged switch?

There aren't many reviews of unmanaged switches as they nearly all perform very similarly, here's one roundup of switches which shows that: http://www.smallnetbuilder.com/content/view/30195/51/
