In the new house I need POE+ for 6 access points. So I need a POE+ switch. I also need normal gig ethernet connections.
Is there any advantage with going with 2 switches and connecting them together via SFP?
Why am I asking this. Getting 2 separate switches for specific purposes is a fees bucks cheaper and I have loads of rack space to do this. In my mind, if one device fails, I can also replace it for less (because its one of two devices, instead of the more expensive single device). I also can recycle my Cisco (non POE) switch with SFP connection, its going strong after several years.
I think it‘ll be fine, just double checking.
