    Buying a switch, want it to be a "future proof" as possible

    As i understand it QoS controls and manages network resources by setting priorities for specific types of data on the network. I can see how this would be highly useful in a business or in a situation where bandwidth was limited and you wanted to prioritize say, streaming video over video games...

    Cost not an obstacle, how would you proceed?

    Its really surprising. I planned to spend about 5K. Then i read so many good things about the EERO i figured i would try it and could always send it back in a few days if it sucked. But it has been awesome.

    Ahh so much to learn! Would you suggest just using the 108? Is there any real benefit of the s8000

    Buying a switch, want it to be a "future proof" as possible

    Ah yes exactly. I just dont understand why the 108 performs better and if there are even better options?

    Hey Roger! Thanks for the info! So what i am concerned about the MESH systems is degrading speeds. I am generally getting 150-250 around my house via 2 wireless networks from my gigbit connection. What are you getting generally and what is the connection you have?

    Cost not an obstacle, how would you proceed?

    Touche! Unfortunately in my area there are not network professional services. I am pretty rural. So anything I do will mostly have to be done by myself. What you describe seems to be alot of overkill for what I need :) I simply want to get the best out of the 1 gig connection that i have in...
