So I think my ~5yr old Netgear GS105 is on it's last legs, it's overheating and has been very slow recently (5 devices are connected, but not usually all used at the same time).
Also over the past 2-3 years since my last re-location of PCs it's struggled to connect at 1000mbits (or maybe it's the 20m cat5e cables?), but that I could live with.
I'm after something that can hopefully:
1) have better cooling
2) 8-ports
3) better reliability with gigabit
4) £30-40 cost
The Netgear GS108 (metal case, so better at dissipating heat) is the most popular option, but there's bad feedback regarding bad caps with that model.
Anyone have any recommendations?
Thanks
