hey everyone,
i'm looking to upgrade my home network to gigabit ethernet and was wondering if anyone has any suggestions as to gigabit switches for around 4/5 computers. i've been looking around but all i could see were one or two products from belkin and linksys. has anyone had any good experiences with anything - if so please share!
also, i currently have a netgear prosafe firewall plugged into my cable modem. would i be able to keep that filtering my internet and connect the prosafe to a gigabit switch? would that still allow me to share my filtered internet whilst providing gigabit for access to a nas drive or would i have problems with nat and dchp over two distributers? (internet->prosafe router->gigabit switch->computers+NAS)
finally, does anyone know of any decent gigabit NAS drives around 250gb size? all the ones i've found are either a good size but no gigabit or gigabit but too big.
thanks in advance for any advice to any of the above!
cheers,
drable
