TP-Link 2.5Gb Switch
This 2.5Gb TP-Link switch is how I extended multi-gig networking beyond the router and got my NAS and hardwired hubs out of the family room. The key is making sure your switch speed matches (or exceeds) what your router can do, otherwise you’re just moving the bottleneck downstream.
Pros
- +Adds multiple 2.5Gb ports so NAS and hubs can run at full local speeds
- +Helps relocate wired gear (NAS, hubs) to a cleaner, more practical spot like an office/basement
Cons
- -Requires running Ethernet to where you place it
- -Won’t help if your router ports are still limited to 1Gb
