10Gbps switch suitable for residential internet setup
10Gbps switch suitable for residential internet setup
You have a home network with cat-6 cables and a 10Gbit connection from your ISP. You already have a Nokia router with four 10Gbit ports, but you need more. You have two desktops (your and your girlfriend's), a NAS, a home server, and an HTPC—all running at 10Gbit. You also have around eight 1Gbit devices (mainly gaming consoles) and one 100Mbit retro PC. You're looking for a switch that supports at least five 10Gbit Ethernet ports, ideally more. No extra features needed.

I haven't checked it with a 10Gb Ethernet connection yet, but once the switch is connected and my computer is plugged in, I'll perform speed tests and share the results. It appears the router only has a single 10GB Ethernet port, which I mistakenly thought in the manual, so a switch is definitely required.
