OK, so if I was to get a Linksys WRT54G router which I have read is the one to go for, and a gigabit switch such as the Netgear GS608, why would that be better than the combined product (disregarding the wireless aspect and number of gigabit ports)?


I have WRT54GS running DD-WRT and I can't recommend it (or the WRT54G) more highly. The router with DD-WRT is rock-solid and gives incredible flexibility.

I use an EG005W with my WRT54GS because they lock on to each other. It's only 5-port because I only have three gigabit products to plug in to it and I picked it up really cheap on ebay. There is also an 8 port version available.
