#HomeLab #Networking #MultiGig
I need some advice on getting my home network ready for a 5Gb fiber drop.My router can definitely handle 10Gb in and 2x10Gb out (Ethernet connections).
- There are 6 devices I want to get full 5Gb, but they are/will be on different VLANs (if I do my VLAN plan).
- I expect to need two 10Gb managed switches for VLANs, labels maybe. Recommendations or warnings?
- I was thinking to future-proof some of the in-house cabling to handle 8K media. I’ve read that CAT-8e is needed for 8K. But some switches only handle CAT-5 or -7. Thoughts?

While upgrading to a #Wifi7 #router and #multigig #LAN #networking, it's been a shock to me that wifi7 has a higher data rate than 2.5G #Ethernet!!
Mainly due to wider channels, but also because of #MLO #MultiLinkOperation, which can use 6Ghz and 5Ghz simultaneously!
I wonder if the 2.5G wired #backhaul on the #TPLink #mesh router I've got coming in the mail actually helps much if the nodes have good #signal or if I should have spring for one with 10G backhaul.

But if I'm splashing out on #2.5G Ethernet dongles and PCEe cards, then I'd ought to have proper #MultiGig switches like these https://amazon.com/dp/B08ZHZL5Q7
