Comparing two switches
Hello everyone i would appreciate your opinions on the two switches below. My use of the switch will be to do the following split traffic to an living room entertainment area that includes a ps5 console and general streaming media and also to a 2nd eero pro 7 that I have in my home where the wifi is utilized for laptops, mobile phones, 4k video door bell, and 6‐8 low demand items such as a thermostat.
Which would be better for home gaming, media streaming and general home networking?
TL-SG108S-M2 by tp link unmanaged switch
Or
es210x-m2 by Omada tp link smart switch
Both are 2.5gb but there are some notable difference and I am not sure how to weigh them.
The omada has nearly double the forwarding rate but has a 640 kb packet buffer vs the 8mb packet buffer the sg108s has.
I thank all who help me out with this.
