If you are looking to get a L2 managed switch with 2.5/10G interfaces which has more than 6 ports at a budget friendly price, you may want to check out the 12-port XikeStor SKS7300-8GPY4XGS 2.5/10G managed switch! This switch is a rack mount switch but you can also use it on a desktop or mounted to the wall. In this video, I discuss various details about the network switch and show some of the more important features that may be most interesting for home networking such as basic VLAN configuration. Note that this is not a deep dive video on configuring VLANs (however, it is possible this switch will make appearances in future videos for other projects/guides). Disclosure: XikeStor sent me the network switch but opinions are my own.
