==== Expensive switch ==== The [https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1383572-REG/netgear_xs724em_100nas_24_port_10_gigabit_multi_gigabit_ethernet_smart.html?ap=y&smp=Y Netgear XS724EM switch] is an expensive, fancier switch. * Speed ** Supports 2.5 gigabit or 10 gigabit per second Ethernet on its ports. ** If you have a network interface card (NIC) that supports 2.5 gbE on each end ''(these are becoming more common)'', you can get over 270 megabytes per second transfer rate ''(more than 2x a normal gigabit switch)'' ** If you have a network interface card (NIC) that supports 10 gbE on each end ''(your computer does not have this unless you bought it separately & installed it)'', you can get over 800 megabytes per second even with a poorly tuned setup. This is likely faster than any of the drives inside your computer unless you bought fancy NVMe drives. * Power ** Can power a bunch of cameras, phones, wireless access points over Ethernet. * Ports ** Has 24 ports instead of 5, can connect a lot more stuff. ** '''COMPATIBILITY''' of the ports - does 10 GbE over standard ethernet plugs/jacks. If you wire your house with [https://www.monoprice.com/product?p_id=13072 good cat6a] and put [https://www.ebay.com/itm/235729074315 good 10 gbE network interface cards] in the machines you’re working with you can get 800 megabyte per second networking all around your house without digiorno connectors. * Virtual LAN support ** Allows you to create separate networks on the same switch. ** Can keep your untrusted internet of things (IoT) devices like cheap light bulbs & cameras & thermostats on isolated separate networks from your trusted devices. The VLAN support is a big one because later on when we connect wifi access points that are advanced we are going to do far more than just make a “guest network”; we are going to make a network that your IoT devices (bulbs, thermostats, cameras, etc) can connect to and isolate them in a way where your computer running your security cameras & home automation can connect to them, but they are isolated from connecting to anything else. This isn’t necessary though and a bunch of you will probably skip the VLAN part at the end, since that gets a little too complicated for a home setup. This is an expensive switch. There are many inbetween, but I thought it’d be useful to show an example of the cheap side & expensive side to show what is available & what you can get for the money. If you are ok with gigabit ethernet you can easily get by with way cheaper; right now you can either buy gigabit switches cheaply, or 2.5 gbe & 10 gbe switches at crazy high prices. There isn’t much in between. <span id="wireless-access-point-wap"></span>
