We currently have a 4 port netgear router and an 8 port netgear switch, giving a total of 10 network connections which are all in use.
Network has a total of 18 connection points and we need to liven up 3 more points in the next few weeks.
So we need a new switch and I'm thinking of getting either a 16 port netgear or a 24 port TP-Link
The switch is in a cupboard along with sky box, HDMI hub, TV aerial amplifier, main electric fuseboards.
We haven't had any issues with the current set up, but overheating is a consideration.
The netgear is fanless - potential for overheating
The TP-Link has a fan which would run 24/7 - potential for fan breaking down then overheating
Anyone had any experience of either, good or bad?
Any alternative suggestions?
