Fast ethernet switch needed for HT/GAMING

[v_squared123]

Hey all

Im finalizing my recently finished basement with wall plates and cables everywhere and now I need to find a few switches to place where the TV, computer station and home theater will be which will be fed from the Wireless Router that my ISP gave me.

Anyone know of a good fast reliable ethernet switch i can use? Which company is best? Linksys? Dlink? Etc? Looking for a small compact switch that can fit behind or inside a tv cabinet

Im using CAT6 cables all around and will be doing heavy online gaming and heavy movie streaming through my network

I also made a thread in HT contrusction because it seems my questions falls under both catergories Sorry if that BOTHERS anyone :P

well switches are fun if you got the money and knowledge id recommend a Cisco Gigabit switch keep in mind your going to pay tho.

That one is near 200, keep in mind tho Cisco isn't plug and play you would need to script it yourself. As far as using Cat 6 well sorry but you kinda got ripped off no real difference between 5 and 6 no one runs 10 Gigabit Ethernet so you would have been fine price wise with Cat 5 as the cable is good for 300 feet before you notice signal loss.
