Upgrading to 2.5 Gbe Network and need help with selecting switches on Black Friday (alien.top)

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.

There's also the Zyxel MG-108, currently showing $119 on Amazon.

Good catch. Have you used this brand before? They are new to me. And are you saying this should beat out the other 3 options I showed?

[–] TiggerLAS@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

I suggested it because it's a better price-point than the TP-Link that you had mentioned.

I've been using Zyxel at home (GS1900-16, GS1900-8HP, and GS1200-5) and in the office (GS1900-48HP) for a few years now, and they seem very stable. . . Haven't moved to their 2.5gb units yet.
