Advise good 5 port network switch please

[shockwave199 0]

I just need a 5 port, no POE. I need to plug this into a router for some additional connection- the router is full. A 4 channel NVR will be on one port- the main reason for this. I've looked at DLink and also Netgear. I had issues with all netgear stuff in the past and I'm leaning towards Dlink, but this green technology thing where it throttles speed accordingly and turns off unused ports- there are enough people who say that feature sucks and is counter intuitive.

 

Any suggestions? Thanks.

new egg has some good models. I got a ZyXEL GS108B 8 Port Gigabit Ethernet Switch from there for cheap on black friday. It is a green switch and I have not had any problems yet. I would stay away from netgear.

Cheap 8 port at monoprice. I have used many of these in the past, no complaints.

I'm running a half-dozen Trendnet TEG-S80G switches around the house, installed when I converted everything to gigabit a year or so ago, and they've been great.

 

Currently $35, regularly on sale for $25, very low power consumption, no problems so far.

They have a 5 port version for $25, which is presumably similar, but I don't have any of them.
