Thanks for the info.
I should have been more clear maybe: everything in my network will be wired, except mobile devices (cellphones, tablets and laptops). I expect those devices to be slower on WIFI anyway, no big deal.
I have Spectrum. My current internet speeds are about 430Mbps down/23Mbps up, so having everything in my network running 1GbE speeds should last for a while, but where I can, I'll use 2.5GbE equipment for future proofing (or if I move!).
I'm continuing to research equipment and software, but since I'm a DIY kinda guy, I'll likely build as much of it as I can myself. Only my cable modem and WIFI router, and a switch or two, will be off the shelf stuff. So, off to do more research! Any advice on switches would be great! Thanks.
