Hi Guys,
I'm looking for some general advise/opinions/recommendations on a new managed Switch for my home network. I've had a good look around on Ali Express, Ebay etc for some options - but I'm finding it hard to get the exact specs of what I require, so I'm wondering if anyone can help point me in the direction of the best switch to obtain for the spec below?
16 Port (At least). Managed L2 Only, doesn't need to do L3. POE not required. At least 2x 10Gbe capable interfaces. All other ports at least 2.5Gbe.
I have one of the new Qotom boxes which has 4x 10Gbe interfaces (and it's a great bit of kit). I already have 2 of those interfaces used, 1 into a DMZ switch and 1 into my Wi-Fi Switch - so I'm now just looking for a good option for an upgrade for my main LAN switch with the right port density, this will then trunk into the other 10Gbe port on the firewall. I'm not bothered about POE on this because my Wireless switch has this and my 3 AP's which require POE will remain on that.
Open to any recommendations, not wedded to a budget as such - this will be a purchase for the long term. (so you could argue a full 10Gbe capable switch is also an option!)
Cheers,
