Svelte and efficient
I am stuck with a combination modem and router. You guessed it more devices than ports. What to do? I started checking out the different brands and configurations. For a few dollars more I could bet all kinds of wizbang devises and options. Wait what was that I needed? Oh, ports. No high speed. No complex managed. Just ports without a complex setup. This critter did the job it is compact and worked out of the box without more than just plugging in. It works so well that I do not use the router ports except one to transfer to this NETGEAR 8-Port Gigabit Ethernet Unmanaged Switch (GS108). It may be my imagination but all the devices (even the TV) seem to work better. I am using 2 SiliconDust HDHomeRun Scribe Duo OTA DVR Recorders that each take a port and plan on SiliconDust HDHomeRun Servio 2TB Expansion Adds 300+ Hours TV Recording (HHDD-2TB). Yea, another port.

Hardwire your console and stream boxes
Have one of these on the second floor and basement of our old house, with WiFi router in the middle. Makes it easy to have hardwired connections where we want them. Way more plug and play than you would think. 8 ports only marginally more expensive than 4 ports. Keep in mind that you’ll need one port for the line in. Sturdy construction. Wall mountable but comes with rubber feet. Have had one of them running for 5 plus years.
