Hi all

My 8 port router/switch just died on me (old linksys SR8-10/100mb) it was over 12 years old

Im looking for another Router(maybe a 100/1000) with at least 8 port switching on it. Or an equal setup...

My home is hard wired Cat 6..so please no Wifi sugesstions.

Hook-ups so far:
I have 3 rooms with computers, 1 PS4 , 1 entertainment(Tv/Blueray), 1 printer, 1 Wifi(for wifes iPad)

ADDED: Comcast only gives me 50 MB down and around 5 MB up avg.(Speed test) Do I even need Gigabit ??

So any suggestions would be great...Links to products you suggest would be Awesome.

Would it be unreasonable to have the 8 ports separately from the router? It does occupy another power outlet, but it does expand your options exponentially.

I will add it to my OP...

Maybe a little more research is needed..any suggestions on where I can readup on all this ?

LOL they don't even sell routers with 100mb ports. It all Gig now.

Just get the TP Link routers. I have one and its outstanding. I have Comcast. With my 7 year old D Link router I was getting 65mb down 10mb up. With the new TP Link I now get 125mb down and 27mb up.

Get this here (same model I have) : http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833704234&cm_re=tp_link-_-33-704-234-_-Product

For non-wireless router get this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833704130&cm_re=tp_link-_-33-704-130-_-Product

And this 8-port switch here: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833704043&cm_re=tp_link-_-33-704-043-_-Product
