Looking to upgrade my home network with some pro or semi-pro gear! Need reliable hardware for full-speed gigabit internet, stable Wi-Fi (5 or 6) in multiple rooms, and minimal bottlenecks for heavy usage.

Any recommendations for routers, access points, or switches that have served you well? #networking #homelab

@kakkoyun Using Ubiquity UniFi gear for switches and access points is what I and many other networking nerds I know have ended up doing.

@kakkoyun I’m running UniFi for Router and APs but their bigger switches seemed poor vs their price. So I picked up a refurb (official) Cisco CBS220-24P-4X (24 port POE and 4 10Gb SFP+ ports). So I’m really happy with that switch.

@kakkoyun I'm running UniFi gear as well.

My collection is:
Routing: UniFi Cloud Gateway Ultra
Switching: UniFi Switch 8 PoE, UniFi Switch 24
WiFi: UniFi AC Pro, U6 In-Wall

I'm happy with my setup. I'm running a small homelab and have multiple VLANs and it handles it all just fine.
