It's #backupfriday and I just collected a package with some 10 Gb network gear - it is a bit early as the installers only finished the cable trays in the building this week, and there is still some digging to be done until the building is fiber-connected, and after that my apartment has to be connected as well...
Unfortunately the access point I ordered is advertised as having at 10 Gb ethernet port, but on the box it says it only has 2.5 Gb, so I'll likely have to return it. If you have any recommendations for #wifi accesspoints that have #10 GbE, I'm all ears.
Do I need my local network to be 10 Gb ethernet when I am upgrading from the venerable copper connection, currently yielding at whopping 40 Mb down and 10 Mb up, to fiber?
You're right, I don't.
But since one of the ISPs is advertising 5 Gb over the fiber and as I am upgrading (/able to upgrade) for the first time in 10-15 years, why not try how the maximum speed feels? I don't want the LAN to be the bottleneck, so 10 Gb it is.
