Hello I have a friend of mine who is looking to get into Merlin. I was wondering want is a good model for him to get. Speeds will be fiber at 1g max for now and he wants to do Vlans. He will probably need a switch too but I think I will have him do the vlans from the router so he doesn’t need a more expesnive switch.
It’s a single story house nothing too big, not sure how thick the wall are off hand. I will probably have him do QOS if he has only a 750mbps speeds ATM. I know at above 500 QOS becomes less important so I could just leave that off but he will game from a Xbox. Most things will be on LAN expect for smart devices.
For the switch I’ll may suggest this one as it’s 10 gig but may be overkill for him.
