The AP I've been looking at is the Netgear WAX630E. It has an optional power adapter you can get. But I need POE since I ceiling-mount my APs. I don't have random power outlets in the walls or ceiling-space. I'm looking at this switch which is similar to the Netgear GS110MX to use in 1 or 2...

I'm connecting 2 workstations that are 10G. I have 2.5G fiber internet that can be upgraded to 5G. The Wifi 6 APs are 2.5G and powered by POE+ and POE++. If I didn't get a POE switch, I'd have to find a 2.5G POE++ POE injector. I don't know if those exist, yet.

Is there a cheaper switch with similar features?

I recently picked up this switch for 2.5Gb fiber internet and 2.5Gb Wifi 6 APs.

Could you tell me what you mean by "SFP+ direct"? Like what kind (material) of cable are you talking about exactly? Thanks

What are the latency differences between ethernet over SFP+ optic cables and ethernet over standard (twisted pair) ethernet cables? For example, what would the latencies of each of the following look like?: 1 meter SFP+ multimode optic cable 1 meter standard Cat.6 ethernet cable Thanks in...

Yeah I know it's a router..was just mentioning switches

Well I'm not really getting the CCR1072 because of Google Fiber. Really the main feature that works for me is the 8 SFP+ ports because I want at least the core of my next home network (any switches, NAS/SAN's, etc.) to be all directly fiber connected, no ethernet. Those 8 SFP+ ports are...

Thanks guys. I'm not sure on the exact VPN bandwidth I'm looking for, I just know that I want the router to have good overall VPN stability/compatibility built-in. I see lots of reviews of mid-level business routers (the kind I'm looking for) that mention bad VPN support. It seems like only the...

Hi all, This is my first post on these forums. I'm in the market for a "prosumer"/mid-level business wired router. One that has a lot of processing power for stuff like VPNs and at least a few 10GbE SFP+ or 10GbE ethernet interfaces built-in. During my research looking around the web for a...
