Switches

Can any of you guys recommend a good, reasonably priced 16 port switch. Preferably gigabit, not requiring any hardcore setting up and Power over Ethernet would be a massive bonus.

Cheerski

One of the companies I deal with use Netgear 8 port POE switches and they're a godsend for powering out of reach APs.
For that reason, I recommend Netgear for this sort of thing.

16 port 10/100 (no Gb ports) switch with POE on 8 ports
105892: Netgear Prosafe 16 Port 10: Amazon.co.uk: Electronics

=====
24 port 10/100 (x2 Gb ports) switch with POE on 12 ports
Netgear ProSafe 24 Port Fast (10/100) Smart Switch with 2 Gigabit Ports & PoE: Netgear: Amazon.co.uk: Computers & Accessories

=====

I've got a cisco switch sitting in my front room. Not powered by ethernet though.

We went with the FS728TP in the end. Didn't see the point in having half PoE and half without. Cheers for the advice guys.
