| [Other] Looking for ~8 port Web Managed (no SNMP) switch
I'm in need of a new switch. It will be Gb switch. I just bought one. I could buy another but this time I think I will add some more tinkering to it. Plus this will be in the basement where I can not actively look at the lights.
Therefore, I am wondering what your recommendation would be for a semi-managed switch. Something with some fancy data on a web page. I only have a few machines and rarely use them simultaneously so this is mostly for fun, but I do need reliability.
I'm currently looking at, in order
1. Dlink DGS-1216T ~$225.
A bit expensive for what I want to do.
16x1Gb
Jumbo Frame(10240)
802.1d spanning tree
VLAN
Qos
32Gbps
5-year
2. Trendnet TEG-224WS+ $135
Not sure about brand, but i was looking at them before for some other products. Price is good.
24x100Mb, 2x1Gb
VLAN
Qos
No mention of spanning tree
5-year
3. Zyxel ES2108G ~$150
Looks good and inexpensive. I trust this brand.
8x100Mb, 1x1Gb
static and dynamic VLAN
3.6Gbps
Qos
802.1w 802.1d spanning tree
Unknown warranty
4. HP 29A $155
"brand name" and fair price, but i dont know much else.
8x1Gb
VLAN
Qos
16Gbps
1-year
5. TP-Link TL-SL2210WEB ~$100
Unknown brand, but durn cheap. My time is worth a lot though so I am scared of unknown brands.
8x100Mb
1x1Gb
VLAN
Qos
5.6Gbps

| Dell PowerConnect 2708 - $80
8x1Gb
VLAN
QoS
16Gbps
Jumbo Frame(9000) (on 16+ port models)
1 year warranty
16port model - $184
This looks like a sweet deal. I hate that the 16 port model is over twice as much as the 8 port model  I may have to give up the jumbo frames for this deal.

Southfield, MI | That looks like the one. Some of those Netgear switches lately had reports of failing components. This one looks good so far.
