    u probably explained how to set vlan better for newbie than most, ty for your time & effort
  • @AinzOoalG0wn
    appareciate the part in the video u taught how to setup the vlan. specifically @6:27 you point out that vlan1 is still used for port 10 because that is the uplink. when i first started i was clueless about setting these vlans. nice to see some tips for this for the netgear switches. depending on which brand of switch you get, though some parts are still generally applicable, their UI is different so it's done differently in some regards.
  • @mj1s735
    Great info. I purchased the QNAP QSW-308-1C 10GbE Switch because I didn't need a managed switch and I needed 3 10G ports and I wanted to use fiber also. This Netgear switch seems like a good buy, I will consider it, if I ever want to try out a low cost managed switch.

    Can I setup two different configurations from two different routes and switch between the configurations? I have two ISPs, one is my primary and the other is the back. I'd like to be able to flip from one to the other without recabling everything.
  • @pbrigham
    Nice one for simple 10G, found this one also for 180USD, XGS1210-12 spite never used this brand.
  • @shmaras
    Hello sorry to be ignorant but can I link aggregate my gigabit internet if I plug 2 1g ports into my router. I know I can get more than gigabit but my router has only 1g ports. I'm hoping I can use lacp to aggregate the connection to pull more out of my router.
  • @RustedFaith
    Hi, Do you have any video explaining how to create two vlans, one with internet access and the other without internet access?
  • @davek5898
    Do you have to use a VLAN supported router? Can this switch be used to create VLANs with a standrad router?
  • @meatball9417
    Zyxel XGS1250-12 has 4 port 10gbe @240, but they are semi-managed
  • @AinzOoalG0wn
    by the way i may need to buy a 2.5gbe addon, becauz of the motherboard having a faulty 2.5gbe nic. i know the qnap 2.5gbe addon is problem free on that end but shipping cost sux. do u know any other 2.5gbe addon which does not have the issue of the port constantly reseting and dropping out randomly over time over and over? this is an issue im getting on realtek nic on the motherboard. some old v1s for intel 2.5gbes also had this issue.
  • @brandonnoggle9987
    what all did you plug in? what do i plug my router and modem in to
  • @scottbaker1991
    Any recommendations for a switch with poe scheduling? Does that exist?
  • @danieleichler
    I have a 1000 Mbit/s internet connection. If I have occupied both 10G ports on my GS110EMX switch, one as an uplink to the 2.5G port of my router, the second to the 10G port of my workstation, then I get 1060 MBit/s downstream in the Ookla speed test. With all other devices on the 1G ports, I only get 400 -500 MBit/s in the Ookla speed test. If I change the uplink to one of the 1G ports, I have 960 Mbit/s on all devices. This deviation does not exist in the home network itself.

    I heard this switch runs very hot, is that true?
