Re: Which network switch?
Why not buy a 4 or 8 port and plug it into your exist 8 port. They can be connected that way.

No spare power points.
Plus the 8-port will go behind the TV and connect to my powerline adapter.

Re: Which network switch?
Are you running VLANs on your network, or need to run certain config on Layer 3? if not, you really don't need a managed switch. save your money and get the cheapest one. Layer 2 switching is all you need for home.

Re: Which network switch?
Its just a simple home network, smart TVs, TiVos, phones & tablets etc
I realised the last one is a managed one.
