switch

Hi All, New here. So i recently upgraded to EE 1.6gbps, the EE SMart hub only has 1gbps lan ports, so i bought an ASUS GT-AX11000 Pro router, which has 10gbp LAN port, and 2.5gb WAN, then i connected the 10gb port to a BroTrends 2.5gb 8 port switch. Previously had all 1GB network gear. 1 of the...

Just a really quick sanity check. Is it safe to connect a normal PC to a POE switch? Google suggests yes, but I thought i'd ask here:) I'm looking at swapping out a gigabit switch and a 10/100 POE switch for a single POE gigabit one as it would save some power, and more importantly save some...

**EDIT/UPDATE 2: Fixed** Hi there, I'm posting on here for the first time, although I have found this community extremely helpful when searching for specific problems and solutions to computer issues. Please bear with me in case I have missed anything, thank you kindly in advance for your...

I'm on the verge of buying an unmanaged switch to save a few quid, but then I've momentarily started wondering whether VLANs are the way to go again. I'm more bothered security wise by things like Hikvision and YiHome cameras etc. than the more mainstream brands, Philips hue, hive etc. but I am...

I'm in need of a replacement compact 8-16 port switch to replace a Meraki unit I've had in use for a few years. After nothing fancy, ideally silent/passive cooling, poe would be handy but not necessary, I didn't end up using vlans last time either. I've been bitten by going cheap on this...

I think it's been a quite controversial topic for years, like what's the difference between normal network switch and an audio grade network switch, the price difference is certainly obvious though... Anyway, I've done some researches, most audio reviewers say that under this " new digital...

Hi all, Quick one really. If my plan is take out my 3060 Ti and put a 3080 in, do I just power off the PC and swap them over? No changes to drivers and what not?

I have a BT Home Hub which has four Gigabit Ethernet ports (https://www.bt.com/help/broadband/learn-about-the-ports-on-your-bt-hub) I then have an Ethernet cable running from the home hub to a switch under the stairs, with Cat5 cables coming off this switch to a number of locations. I have a...

Hi all, New build house to which I am adding POE CCTV. I will be running the cables in to the attic space. Running cables between floors is proving problematic, but the attic gives me good freedom of movement - I can then keep everything within there or, go through the ceiling in to the airing...

Both my girls are asking for Switches for Xmas, and i think i am going to have to get them one each as they will only fight over one of them. Do you have to get two copies of games or are you able to share games across two switches, like a family game library? I know they will both want...

I'm having my house rewired and want to get ethernet cable run throughout at the same time. The electrician is fine with running the cables etc, but not so knowledgeable about the network side. My plan is to have him run cable from where the router will live up to the loft, have a network switch...

Spec me a 10GbE switch, a 2.5GbE NiC + 2.5 GbE USB3.0 converter cable. I only need just over 200MB/s with a little wiggle room for burst transfer from cache. 2.5GbE (bits) translates to 312.5MB/s (bytes). I bought a USB 3.0 hub with 3 usb sockets and one usb plug and a gigabit ethernet port...

Hi, I've been having a strange issue with my internet connection for about 5 months now. Over time I've thought the root cause of issue to be many things and have tried various different solutions none of which fix the problem. So, right now I bought a new unmanaged switch (NetGear 24port...

Given the current lack of stock anywhere in the UK, I was thinking of getting my friend in Paris to ship me one. Just wondered how region free the Switch is? Is the only difference going to be the power supply - any issues I might expect with compatibility with any UK hardware (pro...

Anyone know of any good, and easy to follow for non-It professionals, guides/books/websites for setting up a slightly above basic home network with a managed switch. I'm looking for some guidance on how to set up our home network. the structure looks like this: lte modem with 4G sim card ->...

In our bathrooms and the kitchen, we have extactor fans which are constantly powered but triggered on high speed when the lights come on. The lights are the usual switched Live, with permanent Neutral. The fans have their own isolated Live and Neutral, with a feed from the light Switched Live...
