What settings do i have to make to make the GS724T work with my Sonos system? The ZoneBridge first flashes white and after a while white+green. - Stefan V Wed, 03 Mar 2010 17:46:14 +0100 http://www.automatedhome.co.uk/New-Products/Upgrading-Your-Home-Network-to-Gigabit.html#comment-390 I got that exact same switch (GS724T). I got it off of ebay for $100 USD. Works OK. My only complaint is that i cannot seem to get link aggregation working as i would like when i team my nics (doesn't perform at 2GB or appear as it). Any ideas. I have broadcom nics and am using their BACS program to team the NICS. Not like it matters though because i can't legitimately saturate 1GB yet. - Mike Tue, 21 Apr 2009 20:29:01 +0100 http://www.automatedhome.co.uk/New-Products/Upgrading-Your-Home-Network-to-Gigabit.html#comment-375 Not measured personally but 29Watts according manual.

I recently replaced a my 10/100 switch with a Cisco 3650 which has a couple of Gig uplinks which I use to connect to Airport Extremes and it seems to be rather thirsty. It would be good to get an economical rack mounted gig switch for home use. - NIc Barnes Mon, 06 Apr 2009 14:17:59 +0100 http://www.automatedhome.co.uk/New-Products/Upgrading-Your-Home-Network-to-Gigabit.html#comment-372 besides turning jumbo on in the switch the NICs have to be set that way too! and some NICs don't really work well with jumbo even though they are advertised. my best results came from using Intel nics, including one built into a mobo. - nrf Mon, 06 Apr 2009 10:51:51 +0100 http://www.automatedhome.co.uk/New-Products/Upgrading-Your-Home-Network-to-Gigabit.html#comment-371 I only have 12 IPs in my network and have been enjoying a GS108T, a very inexpensive web managed switch. Despite all the rumors, I found that I can have a mix of 100, 1000, jumbo, and non-jumbo without issues! Having the jumbo turned on in the switch with non-jumbo devices prove not to be an issue. turning on jumbo on your nic while the switch does not have jumbo on can be a problem. I changed out my non-managed switch for the gs108t and found I couldn't turn on jumbo until I turned off the jumbo on my nic. since then it has been great. pcs (linux and windows incl 2 pvr) - jumbo gig voip TA - 100mbit smc music box - 100mbit mediamvp, mg350 - 100mbit wireless router - 100mbit - nrf Mon, 06 Apr 2009 10:50:16 +0100 http://www.automatedhome.co.uk/New-Products/Upgrading-Your-Home-Network-to-Gigabit.html#comment-370 I will second that I have both on my network and they work well it allows 54mbps 802.11g connections and 802.11n 134mbps at the same time and music etc - Neil ellis Mon, 06 Apr 2009 10:42:33 +0100 http://www.automatedhome.co.uk/New-Products/Upgrading-Your-Home-Network-to-Gigabit.html#comment-369 In response to the last comment by chris regarding tc and old airport express, I have the same and it works superbly allowing 802.11g/b devices to connect at 54mbps and 802.11n to connect at 134mbps with no issues. - Neil ellis Mon, 06 Apr 2009 10:35:45 +0100 http://www.automatedhome.co.uk/New-Products/Upgrading-Your-Home-Network-to-Gigabit.html#comment-368 They run fine together Chris - Otto-Mate Mon, 06 Apr 2009 10:33:52 +0100 http://www.automatedhome.co.uk/New-Products/Upgrading-Your-Home-Network-to-Gigabit.html#comment-367 interesting .... how well, if you do, do you find running the 802.11n & 802.11a/b/g networks side by side works ... we've a TC & an old Airport base-station which I had assumed were mutually incompatible !

Not sure if the Apple hardware supports JFs ? Switch's docs say only to enable if all hardware supports otherwise can cause problems. Not sure if it has Telnet access - manual is here - http://kb.netgear.com/app/products/model/a_id/2452 29Watts - Otto-Mate Mon, 06 Apr 2009 09:08:33 +0100 http://www.automatedhome.co.uk/New-Products/Upgrading-Your-Home-Network-to-Gigabit.html#comment-364 Nice review. Have you turned on jumbo frames to further improve performance for gigabit devices? As well as the web interface can you telnet / SSH to it? I have a Linksys SLM2024 which is great but consumes ~50W and I can't telnet to turn it off gracefully - Paul Bendall Mon, 06 Apr 2009 08:43:35 +0100
