100meg is plenty good for almost any home scenario , unless you are transferring big files between PCs on your own network.Good price but only 100Mbs, suppose to good for someone that can only get upto them speeds.
Oh your 100% right but me personally id rather have a 1Gb switch then 100. No point having a 1Gb connection in your house and have 100Mbs switches ha. Also buying 1Gb switches is future proofing yourself for when you want to have a media server in your home.100meg is plenty good for almost any home scenario , unless you are transferring big files between PCs on your own network.
Not a bad price. HarveyWhat do you call a big file as i must check my switches to see what they are as transferring a movie to nas my picture freezes but can send to another box and no freezing.
My local store is doing the 1000 but 21 days OMG and available on prime in a week.

Ah , ok , so you have 1G capability on your connected devices then also,?Oh your 100% right but me personally id rather have a 1Gb switch then 100.

Freezing isn't down to file size, purely speed of Tx, 100mwg us waaaay more than enough speed for a movie, so I'd say maybe your NAS is busy doing something else, maybe it's changing file type, and then it needs changed again to something else on your player.What do you call a big file as i must check my switches to see what they are as transferring a movie to nas my picture freezes but can send to another box and no freezing.

No mate, 1Gb port on the motherboard. Don't get the full 1Gb obviously but get close sometimes 800 / 900 sometimes drops to 500 but that's just the line.Ah , ok , so you have 1G capability on your connected devices then also,?
Must be a really expensive network card you have in your PC.
Never used WIFI on the PC but just down a speed test there on my phone, 221Down / 36.8UpYou're not going to get much more than 100mb via WiFi in any case, not that it would ever be required
If people have a 250Mb connection in there house, why bother picking up a 100Mb switch. Kinda bets the purpose of having a 250Mb connection Cat5e and Cat6 really comes down to the distance but if you were getting your home cabled why not use CAT6? Its future proofing.Freezing isn't down to file size, purely speed of Tx, 100mwg us waaaay more than enough speed for a movie, so I'd say maybe your NAS is busy doing something else, maybe it's changing file type, and then it needs changed again to something else on your player.
People that NEED gigabit switches are the same people that NEED cat6 cable, ie: people that have no idea how this stuff actually works in the real world for home installs.
Just re-read it. The switch/hub actually has a max of 200 not 100But as you said 100Mbs is plenty for doing things for yourself.
But how many WIRED connections need more than 100mb?The WIFI hub I has Gig ports on it. it gives off decent good wifi as per phone speed test. Does my phone need 800 - 900Mbs... Nope. absolutely not. Sure thats over kill BUT what i'm talking about is the 1Gb switch. If I had the option to pick up a 1Gb or 100Mb im gonna get the 1Gb cause that's what I want. Do I need it? Maybe not but id always like to future proof. As you said 100Mbs connection is well enough for a single person to use but there's enough people using the internet in my home so I got the 1Gb connection to share between them all.
