Personally, I'm using (3) D-Link DGS-1216T Managed GigE switches's. There's one in the house (where the cablemodem/fw/HDHR sit) that's connected via multi-mode fiber to my shop/office (converted 2floor garage) where the other 2 sit with all my hardware.<br>

I use PRTG (eventually MRTG) to monitor their BW counters... but so far... they've worked well.<br>
<br>
So if anyone else is wondering.<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>
