    Hey, I'm facing the choice of buying a switch.
    An optical fiber connected to a router (some Huawei - from the ISP) enters the house. The rest of all ethernet cables I have led to the attic, from where they go to individual rooms (first floor and ground floor).
    Provider-ordered speed up to 1gbps download and 1gbps upload.
    I need a switch that will distribute the signal to 4 devices (2xPC, 2xTV), probably to some router with better signal strength than the above-mentioned Huawei and to at least 4 (max 5) cameras (powered by PoE).

    Initially, I was looking for switches that meet these requirements, but some can cost up to 2k ;) .
    I would like to ask for a slightly more budgetary solution, where he will say 6 sockets will be at full 1gbps (without PoE), and 4 sockets will be typically for cameras (with PoE). The switch doesn't have to be configurable - I'd just like to connect everything and expect it to work stably - I'm not planning any NAS, etc.

    Netgear GS116LP 16 Ports PoE, Gigabit, Passive Cooled Without Fan. Unmanageable, about PLN 800. Poe+ version, GS116PP about PLN 1000. It has been working flawlessly for me for several years.

    Thanks for the answers. Sorry for the lack of detail.

    There will be a maximum of 5 cameras, ethernet cables are already distributed - I haven't decided on their choice yet, but I see that the 802.3af standard is enough for those that are enough for me. I will probably buy cameras next year and probably 4 will be enough for me.
    I like the idea of a 12-port switch without PoE and possibly buying a few power supplies - in the attic the number of additional cables and devices should not be a problem, I'm more afraid that in hot weather there will be close to 40 degrees :D .

    I initially chose this: tp-link-16p-tl-sg1016-rack-16x10-100-1000mbit
    Finally, 16 port, because there is still an option that I will have room thermostats in several rooms on the wall.

    Is this choice enough? Do I have to choose e.g. managed for some reason, to e.g. reduce the bandwidth for the cameras themselves (because otherwise they will take a significant part of my bandwidth)?

    Avoid anything with TPLink in the name.
    Netgear, HP, Cisco - stick to it, it's a different price range, but the equipment is worth every zloty spent on it.
    Example - Netgear GS116.

Topic summary

The discussion revolves around selecting a budget-friendly network switch capable of supporting 4 devices (2 PCs and 2 TVs) and up to 5 PoE cameras, with a requirement for 1Gbps speed. The user initially considered a TP-Link 16-port switch but received advice to opt for a non-PoE switch and use separate power supplies for the cameras. Recommendations included the Netgear GS116LP and GS116 models, noted for their reliability and performance. Concerns about bandwidth management for the cameras were raised, emphasizing the importance of avoiding cascading switches to prevent network saturation. Ultimately, the user decided to purchase the Netgear GS116.
