Network switch device
I just upgraded my internet to 1Gbps and set up an Ethernet from the router to my PC. I also want to connect my Xbox via Ethernet instead of another cable. It would be better to purchase a switch rather than run extra cables. My connection speeds are 1Gbps down and 40Mbps up. What switches do you recommend? You mentioned Netgear and TP Link are good options. I don’t want to spend more than $30. Here are some models I’ve looked at: the link from Amazon.
I've been working on networking for a firm that builds building automation systems. Many of the parts I interacted with relied solely on broadcast packets. With devices that are sensitive to even slight delays in packet delivery, using a hub instead of a switch makes more sense because the hub handles all traffic without needing to process each MAC address.
