A Beginners Guide to Buying the Right Switch for your Network –

There comes a point in any mildly tech-savvy users life when the limitations of their ISP router and how it manages the exchange of data between your network of devices, is just not cutting it anymore. It starts off simple, when you get the router from your internet service provider, you connect one or two devices and everything is fine. However, as time rolls by, you realise that connecting devices via a wired connection is just faster and more reliable than any more fluid Wi-Fi connection. Many users who were forced to work from home during the pandemic needed to adjust their home hardware environment in order to include new pieces of office kit that, although perfectly suitable for the office, were somewhat strangled by a lack of ethernet connectivity in the home. For most users in the last 12-months, this is the point at which they need for a network switch in order to support more wired devices on the network, as well as facilitate vastly improved exchanges of data, become paramount. Much like buying a regular domestic mains plug adaptor that converts a single socket into 4 sockets, it just makes things easier! However, network switches are often one of the earliest and most intimidating steps for the less technologically aware and given that network switches can cost as little as £25 or go as high as £1000’s, it can be incredibly difficult to understand what is the best network switch for your own hardware environment without fearing that you spend too little or too much. Today I want to help you choose the right network switch for you by going through the key features and buying points to make sure that the first switch you buy is perfect for years to come.
