Hello everyone,
I am considering using/acquiring a managed switch for the future home network.
In my opinion, it should meet all necessary requirements: Layer 3, routing, IGMPv3, VLAN without a router...
Does anyone have experience with this device or any other comments?
Best regards

So, in the meantime, all other switches have been removed, and the Fritz WLANs are deactivated. Everything is now running through the Cisco switch and the UNIFI AC access points. The switch has been moved to the rack until the move.

I am very satisfied. Next, I will focus on VLANs and network authentication. I can only recommend it to everyone. Test everything before moving. Then you only need to “move” the equipment.

great to hear that everything is going so well already. Do you have a CloudKey or a server running the UniFi controller?
Also, I see you are using those “nice” flat LAN cables. I used to have frequent issues getting gigabit connections with them (only 100 Mbps worked). That’s why I generally don’t use these anymore. What’s your reason for using them?

Also, I noticed you are using those "nice" flat LAN cables. I often had trouble getting gigabit speeds with those (only 100Mbps worked). That’s why I avoid using them now. Is there a specific reason you chose those?The controller is running on a Windows Server 2016. Depending on the device I’m using, I access it either via IP or Remote Desktop.
The flat cables are a temporary solution for the place we currently live in. My wife built this apartment in 2010, but no network infrastructure was planned.
Then I came along xD
Jokes aside, since there is no structured cabling, a few years ago I installed color-matched, narrow cable ducts along the shallow baseboards. I wanted the cables to be as invisible as possible. Due to limited space, I had no choice but to use those flat cables...
Here are the existing baseboards:
That’s how I improvised it...
So I had to use flat cables.
It will be different in the new build.
