Re: Technicolor compatible unmanaged ethernet switch

Any unmanaged ethernet switch will be compatible. If you will be doing large transfers between devices internally a gigabit switch may be worth the extra cost.

This got some good reviews recently (nice power saving features too): http://www.amazon.co.uk/GS-105B-Gigabit-Unmanaged-Desktop-Switch/dp/B001HLT84K/ref=pd_sim_computers_...

Make sure you have enough ethernet cables handy.

Re: Technicolor compatible unmanaged ethernet switch

@nitrams69, did you get the V1 or V2?  How is it doing (seriously thinking of getting one myself)?

Re: Technicolor compatible unmanaged ethernet switch

I bought a Newlink NLHUB-588A 8 Port Gigabit Switch.  I got some flat cat6 patch cables too which fit nicely into some thin trunking above the skirting board Smiley

Cheers for that.  Smiley  I actually think the V1 might be the better of the two, that's what I'd be looking for.
