I have a AT&T BGW320-500 gateway with the AT&T FIBER — INTERNET 5000 Gbps plan in my garage.

That gateway’s 5Gb ethernet port is plugged into a TP-Link TL-SG1024S and that switch connects to 12 ethernet cables (Cat 6) that connect to the ethernet wall patch panels throughout the house.

The house has 2 flours and my main computer room is upstairs.

I have a NAS in my computer room for video editing. I also have a PC, personal laptop, and work laptop with 10Gbe NICs.

I want to buy 2 switches, one for the garage and one for the computer room. I only care about the computer room having a 10Gbe switch but I believe I need another switch for the garage to send up a 10Gbe connection to my computer room.

I’m looking for some suggestions on how I would go about doing this because I don’t really understand connecting switches like this.

I also randomly have a Juniper EX4200 series with 10G modules. I also have a linksys SR224G and a planet POE-2400 but I don’t think these will be useful.

I attached some photos of some of the current setup.

    I’m using Netgear MS510TXMs. My existing cat5 cable links at 10gbps. I have them paired with 4 WAX630e APs . The APs get power from an MS108eup. I route from a Netgate 6100 max.

    It’s almost all Insight managed. The software works well, but there is a subscription fee. It’s $10/yr. per device.

      MS510TXM has 4 mgig and 4 10G ports - its also $500 on amazon. I wish there was a simple 5-8 port 10G layer 2 for says $300 I’d like to have 10G even single link to a storage / Veeam interface on on VMware cluster.
