Switch Recomendation

[dannyp]

Hi my old 14 year old switch has died and I need a recommendation for a 16 port switch. I think the minimum speed these days is 1GB, but am looking for a recommendation from the community.

Doing a quick google search and they talk about managed and managed switches, so I'm a bit confused as it has been a while.
cheers

I'd recommend just a plain unmanaged tp link 16 port switch.

you dont need a managed switch. pretty much anything will get the job done.

something like this? https://www.amazon.com.au/TP-Link-TL-SG116-16-Port-Gigabit-Desktop/dp/B07FY23LW7/

That said, something with some smarts isn't much more cash. https://www.amazon.com.au/TP-Link-16-Port-Ethernet-Rackmount-TL-SG1016DE/dp/B00DBRPKS6/

But if you don't know what you are doing, a managed switch is just opportunities for you to break stuff

Agreed. Simplest to use, cheapest to buy, and "just works"
