Overkill home network switch? S3300-28X opinions

Hi,

 

Im wondering if im biting off more then I can chew with a managed switch (S3300-28X)

Heres what i would like to do:

 

  1. Asus RT-AX89X router 10GB Base T copper port connected to S3300-28X 10GB Base T copper Port 25T
  2. S3300-28X 10GB Base T copper Port 26T to PC
  3. All other LAN ports to various ethernet devices

Im buy no means a network programmer but I can soon sort through it. I have a 950mb/s fibre internet connection to the house. 10GB vs standard GB may seem overkill but im more trying to future proof it all as much as I can. I have also consindered stacking 2x GS810EMX switches.

 

The whole place is wired in cat 6a

 

Interested to know peoples opinions on these types of set ups given that i will be using at least 20 of these ports on the switch.

 

thanks

    SA2020,

     

    You may proceed with the network setup you have described. :) 

     

    Be reminded that the GS108EMX switch does not support stacking.  However, you can daisy chain 2 GS108EMX switches.  

     

    To know more about the S3300-28X switch, kindly check its data sheet here.   

     

    Also, NETGEAR has a variety of business switch models.  You can check the links below and check the switch model that might also fit your requirements:

      ...also the GS810EMX SA2020  mentioned with it's two 10G/MultiGig ports, where a 10G port can be used for the daisy chain link.
