Ah didn't catch it's only 100M. I saw a review on the one you linked earlier that said they just plugged it in and it works, but it also has config options. However, everyone is powering it via PoE. Can I assume that means it needs another switch first to provide that power? I don't think the ISP router or the mesh APs provide PoE.
I'm thinking back in the direction of managed switch because I'm sure I'll be able to work it out, and it provides a learning opportunity. But I think that $70ish price point is what I'm aiming for rather than hundreds of dollars.
Edit: Maybe this one? It's netgear, seems it can configure itself but may also allow you to configure it? https://www.pbtech.co.nz/product/SWHNGR0025/NETGEAR-8-Port-Gigabit-Ethernet-Plus-Switch-GS108E
Yeah I think its a good option, especially if you can just plug it in & have it work too. Has 2 options for power:
Power Method
USB Type C, 5V 802.3af/at PoE (44 - 57VDC, 0.05 - 0.04A)
Ok I've ordered it, thanks for the help!
I'm struggling hard with FOMO and might have to order one for myself.
Haha I thought for sure you'd have much nicer stuff than this!
I do, but it'd be nice to have a small box behind the TV to replace the ToughSwitch that's there now; which I can then deploy elsewhere for some other projects I have on the go.
