I was planning on getting an SFP+ NIC for the M720q to connect to the SFP+ on the switch and then connect all of the rest of my LAN through the Mikrotik. I was considering the Mikrotik CSS610-8G/P for the switch.

I have everything small and SFF form factor, so would like to keep it all that way. From there I would like to add a managed switch and a WAP. I have ordered a 2.5gbe RJ45 M.2 adapter that will add a 2.5gbe port to the PFsense box, which I will use as my WAN port. Unraid NAS (SFF, have room for one add on card) which has an onboard 2.5gbe LAN portĬurrently I am setting up a PFsense box using a Lenovo M720q.

Main PC (SFF, so no add on cards) which has an onboard 2.5gbe LAN port Everything outside of the below devices will be fine operating on wifi or 1gbe LAN. The devices that I have in my home that I am mostly concerned about from a LAN perspective are as follows below.

The 2gig connection is coming out of the fiber box and into my house on RJ45. Before this I was stuck at 25-50mbps, so didn't ever really worry about any of my equipment. I recently got 2gig internet from Frontier (I am getting around 2.3gbe at the router) and want to revamp my home network to take advantage of the new speed and had some questions getting started.
