If you don't need the managed switches, I have been buying Linksys this year and they seem to do a good job. (Plus you do get the Cisco name now... sort of.) Simply plug and play. But I have not tested them for throughput. All the devices register as gigabit connections, though.

Hello All:

Have had a pair of Asante GX5-2400W switches on back order for months.
As of this AM, Asante has told me that it's at least eight weeks away and maybe never. They are having chip set problems with this model.

So.....
Anyone have recommendations for an alternative?
24 Port RJ-45 GigE Simple Switch.
Don't need managed capabilities. Just a simple switch to plug workstations into.

MacConnection lists the Asante switch at $569.95
All the other ones I've finding that give me 24 GigE ports are way more expensive.

Would appreciate guidance, suggestions, etc.
TIA,
Joel
