View verified specsHow to choose a network switch
Port count
Count every access point, camera, wired device, NAS link and the uplink to your router, then add spare capacity for future devices.
Count the ports you needPoE ports and budget
PoE switches power access points and cameras over the Ethernet cable. Check both the number of PoE ports and the total PoE budget; higher-power devices need PoE++ (802.3bt) ports.
Calculate your PoE budgetPort speed
Gigabit is enough for most clients. Wi-Fi 7 access points and fast NAS units benefit from 2.5 GbE ports, and SFP+ slots provide 10G uplinks; SFP+ modules or DAC cables are usually sold separately.
Managed or unmanaged
Unmanaged switches need no setup. Managed switches add VLANs, which keep IoT or guest devices separate, plus monitoring. UniFi and Omada switches are managed from the same controller as their access points.
Form factor and noise
Desktop and wall-mount models suit small setups; rack-mount models fit a network cabinet. Some higher-power switches use fans, so check before placing one in a living space.
