I’m new to this community and actively learning about setting up a network for my new home. I’m thinking on a 24-26 Gigabit PoE managed switch l but after having read a few model reviews from brands like TP Link and NetGear, I hear the fans are so loud that people actually look to replace them. Is it really that bad? Should I go that route or are there options for quieter ones? I was a NetGear model but now I’m unsure.

Help is much appreciated.

    Currently, I’ve got 6 cat cables going to rooms, 4 PoE cameras and 1 NAS. For certain rooms like a TV room that will have multiple devices like an Xbox, I was thinking of just putting a dummy splitter at that location. So maybe 24 is overkill but I wanted to give myself some room to expand.
