I am using a UM150 modem from Alltel and a cradlepoint CTR-350. I want to go into a switch from the cradlepoint and would like to know what brand of switch you guys have had good luck with before i order mine. I am thinking of going with either a D-Link or Linksys 5 port switch. I only need to hook up two things a computer and an xbox.

Any info would be great.
Thanks

I personally don't like either company. If I HAD to pick one I guess I'd go linksys since I do have one of those and it still works after umpteen years. The D-Link I own*ed* back in wireless 802.11a days, well it was garbage.

This one looks sexy from 3com (also the cheapest one)

Since your only using 2 devices on it obviously go with something with 5 or fewer ports. If you wanna spend alot more then 30$ then get one of those sechy new MBR1000's.

My 2 cents.. I like 3com maybe someone else has had a bad experience with em.
