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.
If you need 26 ports you need a 48 port switch. I have an online UPS, that is loud so I don’t hear the switch unless I toggle the fan to high and I’m right in front of it. Closing the closet door muffles the sound enough.
