So I have a few projects I'm starting in the near future and I have to setup some sort of wired network for all the computers. I have a few computers doing various tasks and I'd like to put them all in the same room, on a shelf, with a 16 port router or modem.
I get the general idea but I don't know what network hardware I will require for this. I see there are managed and unmanaged switches, I don't really know the difference. I wanted something that I can basically use as plug and play, but I also want something I can grow into if the need arises in the future.
I will be setting up one of my computers as a game server and another as a NAS and I have 4 running now including the desktop I'm using now. I'm picking up a few Raspberry-Pi's that I'd also like to connect via ethernet. so that's the reason for the 16 port.
anyway, I'd like some recommendations on what types of products I should look at or even what I should by.
