Hi. I’m considering picking up Black Friday gear for upgrading my network to 2.5 Gbe. I have it down to three options. What do you think is the best way for me to go? If it matters, I may pick up three units for different locations. Bonus points if you can tell me if there is a way to mount them in a network rack without a shelf.

  1. The cheapest option, no name brand Binardat, 170+ reviews, $85
  2. Cheap, Name Brand Netgear, AliExpress, $89
  3. Name Brand TP-Link, on promo, most expensive of the 3 options, $140

    As far as rack mounted switches, they will have little “ears” on the sides that are used to mount them in the rack.

    You do not need a shelf to mount them

    Instead, there are screws that will go in to the ears and the ears hold the weight of the switch to the rach!
