For UK people https://www.bargainhardware.co.uk/ https://www.bargainhardware.co.uk/ is an _excellent_ source of kit. Personally I steer away from cisco. Yes, some people in enterprise swear by it, but I _personally_ hate it with a passion. However there is a fucktonne of it on ebay. I use ubiquiti for APs, but I've not tried their switching. Currently I have some dlink "smart" stuff. Its PoE and has vlans, which is good enough for my purposes. Can do 10gig, not bad for < £120 (second hand) Firewall, I'm all for pfsense. I've never liked hardware firewall/router appliances. They've always sucked.
