We have a pretty simple home network - almost everything is on GbE except the younger kids have 100Mb via a phone line adapter (open to ideas here as I'd like to back up their systems over 1GbE)
I'd like to find a switch that has a few 2.5GbE ports and maybe 12-16 GbE ports - I want 2.5 to my NAS, but then 1.0 to the internet and the rest of the house.
All connections terminate in my home office - the Synology has quad 2.5 ports and I could add a 10GbE port if it ever makes sense.
Any switch recommendations would be appreciated.
My new mobo is the Z590 Strix-i - it has a single 2.5 port, but no slots to add new NIC. I've seen USB based 10GbE adapters - my sense is that 2.5 will be plenty - I'm running 4TB spinners in the nas, so nothing too fancy.
