do i actually need a router? in c/homenetworking@selfhosted.forum

Unless you have purchased a VERY large block of external routable IPs, no. Your devices would have no idea how to get out to the rest of the world. Also, I know some switches can also route, but then they are essentially routers.

Is it worth it to upgrade to 10G Switch in c/homenetworking@selfhosted.forum

[–] tgreatone316@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Yes. You can get a UniFi router and 10gb switch for under a grand. Not bad if you need the speed.
