LinkSys has two 8 port Gigabit switches
- EG0801W
- EG008W

It is not clear to me from their doc, how one is better than the other.

Any suggestions?

It should be quite clear:

EG0801W: 1 Gbps Full Duplex Switch Port and 8 10/100Mbps
Auto-Detect Half/Full Duplex Switch Ports
ie: the only gigabit link is the uplink port, the (Cool client-side ports are
10/100 only.


EG008W: Eight 10/100/1000Mbps, half/full duplex, switched ports
This switch has eight ports. Connect them any which way you like, they are all
capable of gigabit operation.

cheers

Duh...
It would be nice, if the marketing verbiage in the data sheets was just a
bit more explicit...

But, still - I should have caught that.
Thanks...
