great review HH. my current network switch is ancient (wifi ax is faster) so i've been looking to replace it with a more up to date and future forward unit. this will do nicely, but i'll have to budget for it.

seems to be easy to configure, but overpriced, imho. let's take a look at the alternative - Mikrotik CCR2004-1G-12S+2XS (router) or CRS312-4C+8XG-RM (switch) - in $600 range , even you need some time to study the OS and configure them
