What's a good network switch for less than $130 that works well with OpenWrt. I have an OpenWrt One wireless router and now I want to make my switch open source. My current switch is a Netgear GS108Ev4. My current switch don't come up in the OpenWrt hardware selector. My other question is, does OpenWrt require special setup to run as a switch or when installed to a switch will it automatically run as a switch.

https://toh.openwrt.org/?view=network# check the upper right corner device type field, enter switch in the new column.
are the supported ones, search the forum and github for the device you're interested in, to see if there are any major issues reported.

I settled on the Linksys LGS310C. https://openwrt.org/toh/linksys/lgs352c According to the wiki all I have to do is use the stock firmware GUI updater to upload the OpenWrt image file and I should be ready to go, is that correct? I'm looking for a well supported product that offers an easy install process.
Is this the correct product here at Amazon? https://www.amazon.com/Linksys-LGS310C-Gigabit-Managed-Network/dp/B0CCZ6L28P

Thanks for your reply.
