Best Switch for use with OpenWRT One

Hardware Questions and Recommendations
1

Hi everyone, I'm a very old WRT54G user from about 20 years ago with lots of questions. :smile:

So I recently ordered the OpenWRT One device from AliExpress (should arrive around Oct 26).
I'm going to also need a switch to use with this hardware (about 6 wired devices) any recommendations as to which I should purchase?

Thanks in advance!

dumb switches aren't rocket science, just get whatever you can find, unless you need a smart switch.

I don't think I need a "smart" switch (its a very basic setup)... Is the only advantage of smart vs dumb the ability to set/prioritize network traffic?

That, VLANs, and some other things.

Update: I decided on the TP-Link TL-SG108, as it was both "cheap" and recommended.
