Hi all
As some of you know, I've cabled up my new house with Cat 6, for a mixture of basic home automation (possibly incorporating security cameras soon), networking & HD media streaming.
I'm ready to get the patch panel & switch setup, and have a great deal on a Gigabit switch from a contact. However, it's an unmanaged switch, and not knowing much about the difference, would the unmanaged switch likely be sufficient for my needs? Or would I end up wanting to upgrade pretty quickly to access the extra features like network traffic prioritising, etc, to ensure streaming quality?
All thoughts welcome & appreciated!
