What switch are you using for your home lab?

1810g-24 here with 10 vlans and the routing takes place on my firewall
 
Two Cisco 2960G 8-ports
One Meraki MS220-8, free along with some other Meraki gear for attending a class.

Also got an older Cisco 48 port L3 3xxx switch laying around, not too efficient for home use but it's fine for lab work.
 
ill chime in as I was searching threads about networking as I have a major issue going on. didnt realize it until I started moving files over to my new server ( server 2016 standard with essentials experience role added in..
but I was moving my family photos folder over and im getting 10MB/s transfer rate... ughhhhhh

anyway back on track..

Dell Powerconnect 2724 (24x 10/100/1000) and those speeds are putrid so issue somewhere....

bought this switch a very long time ago.. maybe time to upgrade...
 
I have an Cisco SG-220-poe. I use an Edgerouter Lite for layer3.

I also have an HP1800-8G at my desk for expansion, although the feature set is terrible (no spanning tree? REALLY??). I have an HP 1910-16G which is "ok" and does L3 light but I'm not using it. It's on my todo list. It was my primary switch before I switched to the SG220.

I don't have much tolerance anymore for switches without a CLI.
 
I recently upgraded my core switch from a Cisco SG300-20 to a C2960S-24TS-L. Pairing it with my Cisco 1921 Router for ISP access just made sense. My lab switches are now Cisco 3560 and 3750G models. I have 2 2960 swtiches for pure L2 stuff.
 
Netgear XS708T and a Procurve 1810-24G and also just added a cisco 3650cg with poe+
