I have a AT&T BGW320-500 gateway with the AT&T FIBER — INTERNET 5000 Gbps plan in my garage.
That gateway’s 5Gb ethernet port is plugged into a TP-Link TL-SG1024S and that switch connects to 12 ethernet cables (Cat 6) that connect to the ethernet wall patch panels throughout the house.
The house has 2 flours and my main computer room is upstairs.
I have a NAS in my computer room for video editing. I also have a PC, personal laptop, and work laptop with 10Gbe NICs.
I want to buy 2 switches, one for the garage and one for the computer room. I only care about the computer room having a 10Gbe switch but I believe I need another switch for the garage to send up a 10Gbe connection to my computer room.
I’m looking for some suggestions on how I would go about doing this because I don’t really understand connecting switches like this.
I also randomly have a Juniper EX4200 series with 10G modules. I also have a linksys SR224G and a planet POE-2400 but I don’t think these will be useful.
I attached some photos of some of the current setup.
Check out mikrotik switches.
Did you mean 5Gbps? 😅
I’m using Netgear MS510TXMs. My existing cat5 cable links at 10gbps. I have them paired with 4 WAX630e APs . The APs get power from an MS108eup. I route from a Netgate 6100 max.
It’s almost all Insight managed. The software works well, but there is a subscription fee. It’s $10/yr. per device.
Got it! You’re seeking suggestions for setting up 10Gbe connections between your garage and computer room while ensuring a 5Gbe connection from the garage to leverage your 5000Gbps ISP plan, all within a budget of $5000. what a brilliant way
You’ll need cat 7 or 8 cable directly to your gateway from your computer room, bypassing the switches elsewhere in your home. Primary router is boss. You don’t have to hop from switch to switch to get to your primary router. I’m sure the rest of the house can get by with simple gigabit cables & switches which your computer room can still communicate with through your primary router whereas your computer room will have 5Gbps connection to Ma Bell
