Netgear can handle that setup. You can use a multi-function device like the Netgear Nighthawk or Nighthawk R7000, which supports Wi-Fi AP, router, and switch roles. For your 100Mb/s supply and 5Gb/s LAN port needs, consider models such as the Nighthawk R7000 or Ubiquiti UniFi N5000. These offer flexibility and performance for small departments.
But why though? Buying them all separately is a lot more expensive... The only system I'm aware of in the consumer space is Ubiquity.
Most well-known brands offer standalone hardware for this use case. It isn't limited to big-name companies. Even affordable options like TP-Link are adding products for home users with their Omada line. Are you referring to a specific area, such as an apartment? You likely don’t need separate devices unless you’re focusing on learning. There are many reliable all-in-one wireless routers that work well without the high cost of buying parts individually. Why are you trying to split them apart?
NETGEAR GS305E combines router and switch functions. THANK YOU NETGEAR WAX202, is this Wi-Fi enough? You have three phones and a laptop connected via a 100Mb/s network provider that supports Wi-Fi 5G.
It's simply a matter of toggling settings. That should be a decent AP. Still, you'll require a router, which is tough to locate without the built-in AP and switch capabilities. What's your point in splitting all these features apart?
