    10Gb switch for home use with 8xSFP+ ports and at least 4x10Gbe ports?

    It's too big for my rack sadly. I'm probably going to just have to go with the EdgeSwitch as it makes the most sense both performance wise and cost wise in my situation since I already have all of the SFP transceivers that I need for the EdgeSwitch except for a couple of SFP+ transceivers for...

    10Gb switch for home use with 8xSFP+ ports and at least 4x10Gbe ports?

    That's the conclusion I have come to as well. I should have said that only 4 needed to be SFP+ the others could be SFP which is why the FS.com switch would have worked. Someday I'll just byte the bullet and grab the ES. I'm just cheap :-) I got my SG350-28P switch as an open box for $150 a...

    10Gb switch for home use with 8xSFP+ ports and at least 4x10Gbe ports?

    Total I need at least 16 in order to replace my ES-12F Of those at least half need to be SFP+. The rest can be 10GbE ports.

    10Gb switch for home use with 8xSFP+ ports and at least 4x10Gbe ports?

    I think I found my Unicorn switch!!!! I really don't need 10+ SFP+ ports and this would be perfect for me from what I'm seeing. https://www.fs.com/products/72945.html#all_reviews Scratch that. In the end it still makes more sense financially to just get the ES-16-XG.

    10Gb switch for home use with 8xSFP+ ports and at least 4x10Gbe ports?

    Yeah "rolling my own" switch is probably more than I care to do right now. What sucks is that I only really care about having the uplink ports be SFP+. I don't actually have any individual 10Gb devices nor do I really need any but I would like to have 10Gb to the router for Inter-VLAN routing...

    10Gb switch for home use with 8xSFP+ ports and at least 4x10Gbe ports?

    I've seen that QNAP a few times now and WISH it was VLAN capable :-( I really don't need any L3 features right now so maybe I should try the Mikrotik from somewhere like Amazon that has a great return policy. I'll probably put it off for a bit as I'm starting to get analysis paralysis.

    10Gb switch for home use with 8xSFP+ ports and at least 4x10Gbe ports?

    So far I'm seeing basically the EdgeSwitch ES-16-XG and the Mikrotik CRS317-1G-16S+RM but beyond that everything is $1500+ and uses an insane amount of power. It appears that the MikroTik is fine for L2 at line speed but it tanks with L3 since it falls back to the CPU for that task while the...

    Looking for 8-port POE switch with integrated power supply

    The problem with that one though is that it's Passive POE (24V, 48V) and I doubt the OP's AP's are Passive POE compatible. The issue with Passive POE though is even though his AP's may allow for Passive POE the wiring specs can be different from manufacturer to manufacturer. I really dislike...

    Looking for 8-port POE switch with integrated power supply

    I have 3 of the Netgear GS510TP's that I got super cheap off of Amazon a couple years ago and they have been great! Their web interface is a bit antiquated but it is plenty usable. I have an EdgeSwitch, 2xSG250-26P's, SG350-28P, SG200-8, and the 3xGS510TP's at my house (plus a couple of dumb...

    Can you guys recommend a rackmount home router for 2019?

    I would highly recommend watching a few configuration videos on RouterOS before purchasing as it is much more involved than other routers. Even SOHO routers like the EdgeRouter (EdgeOS) are much less complicated to configure than RouterOS. It may just "click" for you but it's worth taking a...

    Can you guys recommend a rackmount home router for 2019?

    The https://mikrotik.com/product/RB3011UiAS-RM model looks possible but the OP should be prepared since RouterOS isn't exactly a simple thing to work with.

    Can you guys recommend a rackmount home router for 2019?

    I don't think you'll find anything rackmountable for that money besides getting a used 1U server and putting pfSense,OPNSense, Untangle, etc. on it.
