Found that I just needed more ports so moved to a 16 port. Then I had to upgrade that when I got a faster service from my ISP so I went to a 24 port gigabit capable switch.
You know you can cascade switches instead of entirely replacing them with ones with more capacity? (There's a limit to how many can be put in series but that's rarely an issue in a home environment.) Plus, a possible advantage is that they can be distributed in various advantageous locations. I'd start with an 8 port gigabit switch and another and another as the need arises. -- Scott
