I’d like something that can replace my dinky little unmanaged 16-port gigabit switch for less than $300. Right now The only things I can find in that price bracket have maybe 5 ports. I’d settle for something that can just do 2.5/5Gb on all ports.
That’ll be a while, there isn’t much push yet (1gbe is still pretty fast) and you can do 2.5 if you want to push, they’re basically starting to replace 1gbe with 2.5gbe as a drop in.
WiFi kind of screwed everything because it’s 90-95% of all user clients, so if wifi can’t handle the bandwidth, the bandwidth is considered ‘commercial’ and they charge you through the nose.

Best I can do is 8x2,5 +2SFP+
The CRS310-8G+2S+IN at 250€. Good luck with configuration though
Yeah what I’ve settled on is one of those $40 generic Chinese 4x2.5G PoE+2x10G SFP+ switches. Gives me:
Would be great to get another 10G for the NAS as well!
