I think you're seeing the speeds wrong :P Not all the ports are the same speed.

- daneel_w 6y agoNo I'm sure I'm reading it right: the 8 ports on the side are the interesting ones which you can connect your regular wired devices to, as 99.99% of wired consumer networking is on 8P8C Ethernet, not SFP+.
- lostlogin 6y agoI think it’s a different usage you’re thinking of. Presumably you’d like 10Gb everywhere, while the article and OP are presumably aiming to link a cor switch or high usage device (NAS) at 10Gb while everything else remains 1Gb.
- daneel_w 6y agoI'd like anything over 1Gbit/s within the LAN, between all of the LAN clients. 2.5G is a very affordable drop-in compatible upgrade - plain Ethernet cables and PCIe cards - but I've been having problems finding a decent SoHo switch with 2.5G+ ports. The QSW-1105-5T recommended in this thread seems like a good solution.
- otterlicious 6y agoThere are 8P8C copper SFP(+) modules so that isn't really a barrier. Anyway, what you're looking for is something more like: https://www.qnap.com/en-us/product/qsw-1105-5t https://www.qnap.com/en-us/product/qsw-1105-5t
