What do you guys think of this switch for home use?
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833127332
Main reason I'm debating it is for SNMP and QoS. Anyone have any experience with D-Link? My other option was an HP Procurve but no SNMP and only 2 Gbit uplinks.
I'm also wondering if it has per port MRTG/usage graphs, that'd be pretty cool.

That's a pretty heavy duty switch for home use. It'll be fine.
It'll be fine, definitely for home use.
@Damian Yeah, I figured that, but I like having some decent networking stuff at home, keeps me busy when I'm bored.
I also have a network rack at home I like to rack some switches in and just mess around with. Again, keeps me busy
real men use cli! (Telnet/ssh/console) if its purely for entertainment value pickup some cisco 2924's off ebay for $15.
Well functionality and entertainment. But I am taking some Cisco classes so I'll be sure to pick a few up! Thanks
No gigabit though.
Dell 5324 then.. managed, fully gigabit, with SFP ports, for $140 or less on 3bay.
Same thought, it's what I use at home
Actually, that looks really decent, thanks
I using here a few TP-Link switches, nice features, many gig ports and a good firmware update support. Many switches supports virtual switch stacking, nice feature for home users and not expensive. I using them a few years and all works fine.
Yeah I have a 24 port gigabit TP Link switch, works fantastic, just unmanaged.
Who needs gigabit when you can have fun things like fibre? and LRE? Remember LRE? How cool is LRE?
We have a few of them and they work fine, not only for home but also for datacenters.
That D-Link or that Dell?
D-Link.
We also got Dell, but only Force10 (for 10G transport)
