What managed switch are you using, and why? Are there open source alternatives, or even open hardware switches?
I’m quite partial to to-link and ubiquti
Me too, I like ubiquiti gear
I’ve got pfsense coming into the house, and then ubiquiti throughout.
I use the Nintendo Switch.
Anything running open wrt. I have 4 different devices with ooenwrt on them and they justseamlessly works greatt .
I’m currently running pfsense, and then mikrotik and ubiquiti switched and ubiquiti AP’s. I’m slowly removing the ubiquiti switches and moving to mikrotik as I’m upgrading to 10gbe. Mikrotik switches have a reputation of being reliable, capable, and cheap-ish. So far I like them. While I love ubiquiti’s single pane of glass approach with the unifi controller, I wanted to get away from that a bit. I work in IT, and most things I encounter don’t have that… And are configured via cli and or web interface. When I built my home network I jumped into ubiquiti for the ease. Now I’m back tracking for more learning.
I used to be a big netgear fan. But they had a lot of connections with the nsa. So now I use tplink for everything since they’re a great cheaper brand. But they’re chinese, so I traded one invasive country for another
