Switch for home network

[theleg]

Moved into a new house which has ethernet cables already in the walls leading to the loft where it looks like some kind of network equipment was removed.

Id like to put a switch in there to link to a couple of wireless APs and run lines to the TVs and PCs in the house but also have some PoE to run some cameras etc.

Is there any reason I would need more than a relatively simple unmanaged 24 port PoE jobbie? Can anyone recommend something that would do the job?

Nothing has been bought yet but im liking the unifi stuff

As a slightly more budget minded alternative you could go for the TP-link equivalent kit (EAp225/EAP245 AP's and TL-SG switches), that's the way I went, very pleased with it, set and forget.

is there a 24 port, unmanaged POE switch from tplink? i cant seem to find one.

I am planning on two APs but probably 4 or 5 cameras. How do the injectors work?

 

[theleg]

Yup.

How many wired devices you planning?

probably about 10ish

It rather depends what you mean by Unmanaged? Pretty much by definition, a PoE switch has to have some management built into it. Whether you mean a Level 2 switch vs. a Level 3 switch then yes, you should be able to get a Level 2 PoE switch.

TP-Link JetStream T1600G-28PS appears to be what you’re after.

Big delay but thanks.

Decided to go for this switch with an eap245 and eap225.
