[Sheflug] Networking Question

["Wonkey Donkey" <wonkey_donkey [at] xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

I have a question for the networking sages.

I want to upgrade the network here at home to make full use of the gigabit 
network interfaces in all of the machines we have. Currently we have a KCorp 
10/100 wireless router, which is flaky to say the least, and its speed is 
uninspiring, whether wired or wireless.

I know gigabit won't make a difference on the broadband side of things, but 
as we do a lot of networking internally, it would benefit us a great deal.

My question is this:

Is there any difference to using gigabit connections in linux, compared to 
10/100, and does anybody know of any decent gigabit broadband routers ?

The only ones I found from searching the net are the DLink Gaming router 
(which has gigabit ports) and a Netgear model, which has absolutely terrible 
reviews.

I know i can add a gigabit switch to the existing router and do it that way, 
but i would prefer to have an all in one unit if possible.

Regards,

Steve.
