Thank you for the response. So you're suggesting I simply disconnect the current router, setup the new Netgear router to take over just let the old router RIP? I would be a lot of work...but on the other hand if the new router does not work like I hope it would, I can simply put the old router back and it'll still have everything.

I currently have the Linksys EA9500 Max-Stream. I was having some issues so I decided to purchase the Netgear Nighthawk RAXE500. DHCP is enabled in the Linksys EA9500. How do I transition over  to this new Nighthawk RAXE500 without imploding my whole home network? Do I disable the DHCP on the existing router and then setup the Netgear to take over the DHCP role or is it vice versa? I have a lot of wireless and wired devices and I like to slowly move some of the devices over. Eventually, I like to use this old router for unimportant things and perhaps for guest users. Thank you.

I'm looking for recommendations for 10GbE switches to run in my home network.  Something rack mountable and 8-24 ports is preferable. I have very little to no experience in managed network switches so un-mange would be preferred; however, I can always learn so I'm not limited to only un-manage 10GbE switches. I have been looking at some used switches on eBay but I'm not familiar any of these models.

• IBM Blade RackSwitch G8124
• Cisco Nexus 7000 24 Port 10 Gigabit Ethernet 10GBE SFP+ KCK N7K-M224XP-23L V03
• Brocade BR-VDX6720-40-F 40 Port 10GbE SFP+ Switch Dual AC
• Dell Powerconnect 7024 CGRY2 24 Port PoE Ethernet Switch with 10G Stacking Modul

Any recommendation/suggestion is much appreciated.
