This is basically scratch-space for my plans (or dreams) of buying new home equipment. I have some smaller problems with my current equipment, and it would be nice to upgrade to something more modern. Current issues Router (which also is modem and access-point) is not wall-mountable and is currently placed in an awkward position. Switch does not support link aggregation (IEEE 802.3ad), which my storage supports. Current plans I have no real need for a new router, as I can just as well run pfsense on a KVM instead. For that reason I can just buy a nice, wall-mountable AP. Likely with PoE. Since my current switch does not support PoE either, that needs to be a requirement for it. Since I would like to be a bit future proof, PoE+ would be nice, if not too expensive. As I currently have 5 slots, which are all filled, I would need at least 8 slots on it. Since I’m thinking of future-proofing with PoE+, I might want an SFP slot, since I might have some use for it later. ...
