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.

    I’m looking into this right now as well, but mainly for heavy NAS usage. I’m in the unifi ecosystem, so I have a UDM-SE which has a 10G SFP+ port connected to a USW-16-PoE.

    I plan to get a synology NAS with at least two ethernet ports. My understanding is that, if I want to support at 10Gbps link to the NAS I will need to get an aggregation switch (this one: https://store.ui.com/us/en/products/usw-aggregation) which I will connect to my UDM-SE.

    I will then get a MicroTik S+RJ10 module (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B078SNK1MY/ref=ox_sc_act_title_3?smid=A1DZ2KWUETHME0&psc=1) to connect a regular cat6 cable from the switch to my desktop PC, which I will get a 10Gb PCI-E card for that connection.

    I don’t know if this is correct or helpful but I don’t _think_ you need to expect a lot more money here. An aggregation switch, the module, and a pci-e card looks like a total of ~$360.

      Would this setup work?
      Garage:
      [ATT]==[UDM-SE]==[USW-Aggregation]==[TP-Link TL-SG1024S]
      Computer Room:
      [USW-Aggregation] → Devices

      For the garage [USW-Aggregation] I believe I would need 2 [MikroTik S+RJ10]:

      • one for the ethernet wall plate that goes to my computer room
      • one for the [TP-Link TL-SG1024S]

      And for the computer room I believe I would need [MikroTik S+RJ10] for each plugged in device
