I'm wiring my house with cat6 i have dgl4500 but i have run out of ports i have a cisco 2950 that i got from work should i sell it and get a gig switch or would the 100mb speed switch be sufficient

thanks
 
How many ports do you need? What do you do on your network?

Unless you need the features of the Cisco I'd suggest you sell it while you can still get something for it and replace it with something quieter that uses less power.
 
Any HD content? And to one device at a time or multiple? For future-proofing as well as just good performance now, a gigabit switch and gigabit NICs would be ideal. If you're not doing anything HD, you can get away with fast ethernet, but like I said, gigabit would be ideal.
 
yes there will HD content, well for now it will be one device but in the future i can see multiple devices running at the same time
 
I would get whatever cash I could from the Cisco and grab a cheaper gigabit 24-port HP ProCurve. I don't know what your needs are or what you would lke, so unmanaged versus managed is a question you'll have to answer. I like the 1400-24g for unmanaged. The 1810-24g gives you some control and is pretty budget-aware (only a few bucks more), so your call.
