Deployed three AP6-Pro’s at home a few months ago and have been very happy so far. Although one did fry due to a power surge :frowning (Blown Breaker). I’ve since connected the POE injectors to a UPS/Surge Protector.
The only thing holding me up from going with an Alta Switch is the lack of 2.5GB support. Are there any plans for a switch that includes POE, 2.5 GB NIC’s and SFP+ ???
I understand the OP.
If you look at the mainboardmarket, and even pc’s, you see that 2.5gb is taking the spot of the 1gb networkport. You would want to have a 2.5gb, else you are stuck with 1gb.
20-30 years ago, 100mbit was normal, and we had exact the same discussion:“Why do you need 1gb, where the whole world was on 100mbit. Or even on tokenring at 16mbit.”
I second that. I am planning to revamp my home network equipment and would like to upgrade to 2.5 Gbps switches in a small switch (5 ports). The competition has this, but I am more intrigued diving into the Alta ecosystem if I knew such a switch is on the roadmap.
I will note that the new 48 port switch technically has 16 2.5Gb ports, although it sounds like the people in this thread are looking for a smaller switch than that
