      I use Linksys 308p switches as I run 7 vlans and require POE for my access-point.

      https://www.broadbandbuyer.com/products/18413-linksys-lgs308p-uk/ << POE 8 port

      https://www.broadbandbuyer.com/products/18412-linksys-lgs308-uk/ << NON POE 8 port

      https://www.broadbandbuyer.com/products/18419-linksys-lgs318-uk/ << NON POE 16 port

      Check the devices supports IEEE 802.3ad LACP, there will be cheaper than I have.

      There are loads of posts on the forum asking for switch recommendations.

          Not a clue sorry as I don't use OMV, but looking in the documentation it does mention LACP, but do you have a good reason to even use it.

          Even viewing Blu Ray 1080p mkv files you'd get nowhere near 1Gbps.

              You can't fix packet loss on the WAN interface by upgrading your LAN. You really need to learn the basics of networking,

                I thought it would be bottlenecking pfsense with all the connections. it only happends when that server is on.

                  The packet loss will be WAN side, I'd bet money on it!

                  Since you have torrents running there it probably just traffic fro9m the server saturating the WAN connection. Some traffic shaping could probably help there.

                      The wizards sets up the basics, you have to manually configure/tune the shapers/rules to match your use-case. Traffic shaping is not something you can setup in 5 Minutes and be done with it.

                        do cheap routers do all this auto? I mean the £15 router I bought last year seems to fix all the problems. Pfsense tho as addons which I love.

                          CAT 7 won't do much.  Gb is designed to work over CAT5 cable, though CAT6 is often used.

                          I haven't lost my mind. It's around here...somewhere...
