IMHO they’re all approx. the same. the hardware is typically low(ish) quality. They typically can’t sustain full bandwidth on all ports at the same time (eg. an 8 port 1g switch would not be capable of actually passing 8G of traffic through it at the same time).
Louis, Which my network will never stress.
Typically they don’t release firmware/software updates very often, if at all. They typically don’t have any field replaceable units, so when something dies, you chuck the whole thing and replace it. Support is typically trash. It will take forever to get them to do anything.
Given their use of passing packets from port to port there doesn't seem to be a need for firmware upgrades or replacing pieces.
PoE requires a much more substantial power supply, ...
Which is why I bought a PoE injector to go between the switch and the AP. Thanks for sharing, Rich _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
