looking for recommendations on switches compatible with rs700 and cax80

[mamezcua8201]

I am trying to get into hard wiring everything for my gaming setup and I would like a switch, possibly managed to be able to experiment with networking, but i am kind of confused on what would be compatible besides an unmanaged switch. I have a cax80 and just purchased a rs700s. any help, info, links would be appreciated

Most NETGEAR managed switches should be compatible with your routers

If it was me? I'd pickup a cheap multigig non-managed switch and a managed used switch. 

then you can hardwire in your gaming devices directly on the non-managed multigig switch. 

You can hookup the managed one after and experiment a little. some of the managed functions can add latency so putting it after and playing with a cheap used one might be a better option until you're more familar with its useage.

Thank you i see your point in that i am dealing with latency and packet loss already over wifi so this led me down this road but i will look into that for sure!

Even the best, most expensive, fastest, ... managed, smart managed, or unmanaged, whatever brand of switch, there are a zillions of reasons why packet loss and latency are occurring. Not many reasons why a random wired Ethernet switch should be compatible. Even worse on a shared media - as the air is for wireless. At the end of the day, it depends what you want to achieve, what you expect, what features you need.

And how much you want to pay.
