    I have an 8 port 100mbit switch in the loft, but I need something in the cellar, what you think?

    If you just want bandwidth, the Netgear - it's got about 10 times the switching capacity, 32Gbps as opposed to 3.2. If you fancy mucking about with a managed switch, VLANs, all that sort of stuff, then the Cisco.

    I would never bother to mess around with anything on the Cisco because I simply don't need to...
