          @pmadem Ok, here's some quick recommendations:

          D-Link Ethernet Switch, 24 Port Gigabit Easy Smart Managed Switch ($128 USD)
          https://www.amazon.com/D-Link-24-Port-EasySmart-Ethernet-DGS-1100-24/dp/B004SUO1S0

          NETGEAR 24-Port Gigabit Ethernet Smart Managed Switch ($177 USD)
          https://www.amazon.com/NETGEAR-GS724T-400NAS-Lifetime-Protection-GS724Tv4/dp/B00I5W5EGA

          There's also some 16-port managed switches, but they are very close in price to the 24-port models. Hope that helps!

          Jeff

              Do you have any recommendations ? 😉

              I'm correcting myself now and exist an Intel NUC with dual NICs, but it’s just yet to come:

              Plus, with the new Intel PHY (2,5 GbE), we’re looking forward to it...
