I have a AT&T BGW320-500 gateway with the AT&T FIBER — INTERNET 5000 Gbps plan in my garage.
That gateway’s 5Gb ethernet port is plugged into a TP-Link TL-SG1024S and that switch connects to 12 ethernet cables (Cat 6) that connect to the ethernet wall patch panels throughout the house.
The house has 2 flours and my main computer room is upstairs.
I have a NAS in my computer room for video editing. I also have a PC, personal laptop, and work laptop with 10Gbe NICs.
I want to buy 2 switches, one for the garage and one for the computer room. I only care about the computer room having a 10Gbe switch but I believe I need another switch for the garage to send up a 10Gbe connection to my computer room.
I’m looking for some suggestions on how I would go about doing this because I don’t really understand connecting switches like this.
I also randomly have a Juniper EX4200 series with 10G modules. I also have a linksys SR224G and a planet POE-2400 but I don’t think these will be useful.
I attached some photos of some of the current setup.

Honest question: what use does a home consumer have for 10gbps?
I’m not judging you, I am literally wanting to know why.
Are you running a public server? Do you download terabytes of data in one go on a regular basis? Is it for work? Are you trying to run a public TOR gateway?
