24-port copper switch recommendations?

[Wombat]

Hi guys,
Looking for 100Mb or 1Gb ethernet switch, 24 ports. New or used. Any model recommendations, or stores?

I have had good luck with the Dell 2624 24 Port Gigabit switches.

I've used D-Link at my current job and they were used at the school I had volunteered at. No problems with the DSS24+ using the add-on fiberoptic modules.

DES-1024D
DSS-24+

If you're looking for an unmanaged workgroup switch, then go for D-Link or Linksys. If they're for something more serious, stick with Cisco.

You may want to check if it supports jumbo frames too.. could be standard now, but it did not use to be the case.

I haven't had any trouble with Netgear Switches, but make sure you dont get the "Home" versions. They currently don't support Jumbo Frames...

EDIT:Then again, there aren't that many 24-Port "Home" Switches ..

What kind of features are you looking for? Do you want vlans? unmanaged? managed? QoS? other features? Is it important that you don't bottleneck the backplane if all ports are sending data at line rate? Anything else?

grumble, grumble... you and you 100 Mb internet access. Stupid greedy american telcos.

Dell switches will work fine for home up to small/medium businesses. The web managed ones are not that expensive, you can frequently find them on sale, and have a full sized baxkplane (last I checked).

Beyond that I would use Linksys or NetGear. and shy away from D-link. Never have liked their network products, but have never used one of their big switches.
