Network Switch

I have a router from my provider on 10GB fiber. I want to connect a switch to the 10GB output from the router (the output is RSJ45) cable. Can anyone recommend a good router with input 10GB RSJ and minimum 10 ports output to the rest of the house. A bit lost with all the switch options.

thanks 

Gerard

    10 Gb Internet isn't that common so there may not be many experts around here.

     

    On the router front, try plugging your needs into the filters on the product pages:

     

    Wireless Routers for Home | NETGEAR

     

    and

     

    Orbi: Whole Home WiFi System for Better WiFi Everywhere | NETGEAR

     

    Then check back here for reports on the things you are considering, but remember that people turn up in this community with problems, not compliments. So look at reviews on Amazon, for example.

     

     

    Switches might be best discussed in the appropriate section:

      I fitted my network last year with these two switches, XS505M and GS110MX, working great. Un-managed and simple. There's a XS508 and XS512 and XS724 versions as well.
