Well, picking the best switch for yourself isn’t too tricky. But, there are a few concepts you better understand to avoid buying the wrong device. Figure out the number of ports your switch needs to have and checkout for their speeds too. For example, if you want to connect your TV, a gaming console or two, and a set-top-box, you’ll be fine with an eight-port switch. Check out brands like Cisco and Netgear. They offer some high-quality network switches.
