I just wish we could get some decent 2.5Gb switches with at least VLAN support. Don’t need all the other managed gumpf, but VLANs are pretty useful.

Do you really need VLANs? Can't you subnet?

these seem to be coming down in price.

I've been looking at this but not sure how to optimise my current setup.
My TP Decos XE75 support 2.5Gb and I have them on an ethernet back haul. I was unable to get it working in router mode so I guess once I get this, I'll just need a router with multiple 2.5Gb ports also.
Current setup is Vodafone Router > TP Deco > Gigabit Switch > TP Deco 2 (Upstairs).

That's a damned fine price. When I can get 8 ports for that much, I'll finally update. But for right now I only have the one 2.5Gb device so it doesn't really add much.
