Hi. I’m considering picking up Black Friday gear for upgrading my network to 2.5 Gbe. I have it down to three options. What do you think is the best way for me to go? If it matters, I may pick up three units for different locations. Bonus points if you can tell me if there is a way to mount them in a network rack without a shelf.

  1. The cheapest option, no name brand Binardat, 170+ reviews, $85
  2. Cheap, Name Brand Netgear, AliExpress, $89
  3. Name Brand TP-Link, on promo, most expensive of the 3 options, $140

    I suggested it because it’s a better price-point than the TP-Link that you had mentioned.

    I’ve been using Zyxel at home (GS1900-16, GS1900-8HP, and GS1200-5) and in the office (GS1900-48HP) for a few years now, and they seem very stable. . . Haven’t moved to their 2.5gb units yet.
