Frequently Asked Questions
Do I really need speeds faster than gigabit?
For most home users, gigabit speeds are sufficient for internet access, streaming, and general file sharing. Higher speeds become valuable when transferring large files between local devices, working with 4K/8K video content, or running multiple high-bandwidth applications simultaneously.
What's the difference between managed and unmanaged switches?
Unmanaged switches work out of the box with no configuration needed, while managed switches offer web interfaces and advanced controls like VLANs, QoS, and traffic monitoring. Managed switches provide more control but require more technical knowledge to utilize effectively.
How many ports do I actually need?
Count your current wired devices and add 20-30% for future expansion. Remember that wireless access points, gaming consoles, desktop computers, and network storage devices typically benefit from wired connections, while laptops and mobile devices usually connect wirelessly.
Are premium switches worth it for gaming?
Premium switches can offer lower latency and better traffic prioritization, but the improvement over a quality basic switch is often minimal for gaming. The biggest gaming benefits come from a stable wired connection rather than premium switch features, unless you're managing a complex network with many competing devices.
