@ all

thank you sa mga advices guys.

i already bought the linksys due to it is very compact compared to all other two brands which has a wider body. its non-blocking characteristic too.

by the way, i wonder why the CNET and Linksys claimed that their switches can reach 200mbps max where i know that standard max is 100mbps, hmmmm...

me dlink gigabit switch

it has never failed me.

aslo netgear is good as well.

I don't like linksys because of its price.

most electronic products are made in china.

yeah, china made na dyud mostly ang digital gadgets karon...... daginot kaayo...

boss chips,

200mbps bandwidth or full duplex bandwidth specs these mean, the actual speed which is 100mbps x 2(receive and transmit)... some switches 100mbps is shared by receive and transmit.. So that means dili 100 mbps ang full capacity sa switch which is obviously not better. Other switch 4.8Gbps ang gibutang if 24 ports kay 200 mbps man actual bandwidth on every ports. Hope that helps..

if you had a limited budget i will suggest you go for CISCO Catalyst 500 switch it's less than 30K manageable with QoS and you can do a lot of things. by the way it does not need to be a CNNA to configure this switch.

i see, so much better diay kung 200mbps reach ang nakabutang... kay kung 100mbps kay tungaon pa dyud so it would be 50mbps trans & rec, sakto ba?
