Buying My First Switch for Small Office/Home Network

Thanks again, everyone.

Given that I eventually plan to move to Unifi for routing, I’m leaning very strongly towards grabbing the Ubiquiti UniFi Switch Lite 16 PoE | 16-Port Gigabit Switch with 8 PoE+ 802.3at Ports (USW-Lite-16-PoE): https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08KC1YQZ9/ref=crt_ewc_title_huc_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER

I just need to double check that this one can do link aggregation.

I’d have already bought it, but I’m trying to figure out why it’s $50 more at Amazon than on Unifi’s site. (I’ve got Amazon gift cards and Pay with Points options that make me want to buy it there, but I don’t want to pay more for the privilege of using coupons.)

That would let me get started learning how to work the Unifi controller (apparently I can install it via docker on my Raspberry Pi, so I’m set there).

If I wasn’t so interested in Unifi, I’d certainly go with the MikroTik.
