ByJames Smythe

As much as I love cloud-managed networking hardware such as Zyxel Nebula and Ubiquiti, it is kind of expensive, with an 8-port POE switch costing over £100. Sometimes it is OK to go back to basics, and an unmanaged POE switch can save you quite a bit of money. With no management options at all,…
