We already have a GS324 24 port swtich and are looking to buy another to expand to 48, however are not sure if we should use 2 24 port switches in parrellel, or to just but a single 48 port switch which would be much more costly
Its alright to connect another GS324 switch to your existing GS324 switch. As far as I know, there is no limit on the number of NETGEAR unmanaged switches that can be daisy chained or be cascaded together. However, be reminded that the best practice would be about 2-3 switches daisy chained or cascaded. It is because each switch that you connect adds latency to the network.
