Hello,

You might want to consider something other than LinkSys. Tests have shown that they are leaky in the RF world, meaning if you have a radio near them, the darn switch interfears with the radio. It is a quality control / sheilding problem.

I would look for a switch that also has an uplink port right on it, just in case you need it for later use. And if you can, plug it into a UPS to minimize / eliminate power hiccup problems.
