    Looking for a recommendations on a 24port switch & Modem.

    I have FTTC 90d 22u

    Switch:
    Doesn't have to have POE as already have a Netgear 8 port Poe switch upstairs for cameras a Unifi AP.

    Budget £60-90, I have my eye on this,

    https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B003UWXFM0/ref=cm_sw_r_apa_i_H8CKEbBM0A305

    Anyone have this one or can anyone recommend something similar?

    Modem:
    Need something with vectoring (G.993) enabled on it. Any recommendations?

    I will be installing an open 12u rack 2 stand in a cupboard and will have a patch panel, asus-n68U (looking to replace), pi for unifi controller and Pihole & DS918+.

    It needs to run silent enough as will be in a cupboard in kids playroom. Would pay a little more if it had 8-16ports with POE but not a necessity and also think.it would run louder.

    I will be getting the UDM (non-pro) and this will act as my 2nd AP.

    Looking to order today as I'm off next week and want o get stuck into this during the week as rack and other stuff arriving during the week.

    Thanks

    Been using a TL-SG1024D for nearly 3 years now. Never had a problem.

    I should have kept my powder dry!

    We had a power cut today ...... came back for a few mins and went again a few mins later.

    When it came back again it stayed ....... but the Switch was borked!

    I have managed to connect the most important gear through an 8Port Switch which I was using for testing, so at least I should not be shouted at for the next couple of days while waiting for a replacement.

    I had/have
    TP-Link TL-SG1024DE 24-Port ........ 'E' version is an 'easy-smart' switch.
