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.
This makes perfect sense and thanks for taking the time to provide your input. Two switches sounds like the way to go for now. And you’re right, once I set up everything I want in the home, I’m more than likely not to add a lot more devices thereafter. You have any recommendations? If not, I understand.
