Hi,
I want to buy a switch, from 8 to maximum 20 ports, fanless, with PoE, and one usable SFP, to install OpenWRT on it.
At work, I've found some Dlink DGS-1210-10P, but the revision is F3. The firmware is too new and Dlink support confirm it : it's not possible to revert the firmware on a openwrt supported version to be able to flash.
What's the best choice (typically well supported, install process could be less easy) ?
Zyxel GS1900-10HP: 8 PoE ports, 2 x SFP, OpenWRT support
Available only through import here, like with eBay. I can import, but I prefer to buy locally.
Is there any choice with 16 ports?
Why don't you start narrowing the options by cross-checking the supported devices with your local availability?
