I have a few in use. The latest two I bought were a Netgear GS308 and a GS305, and older Dlink gigabit switch which has long since been discontinuted but still works well, and a Zyxel 5 port switch behind my PVR. The GS308 has bright green LEDs on the ethernet ports so just FYI. The Zyxel one I got a long time ago and don't know if it's even still available. Works fine for my PVR and other devices. Haven't had any issues with the set top box I have connected to the GS308 either. I used to have a Linksys switch back when they were still relavent but it randomly started malfunctioning and got tossed.
