to get 10G speeds on your network!

Yes, it could!

Go ahead and replace it!

As far as rack mounted switches, they will have little “ears” on the sides that are used to mount them in the rack.

You do not need a shelf to mount them

Instead, there are screws that will go in to the ears and the ears hold the weight of the switch to the rach!

On a side note…

You are usually provisioned for the 1.2 Gbps.

If you get you a modem and a router that has a 2.5 Gbps port or higher, as well as your computer having it as well, you will get speed tests close to the 1.2 Gbps as well

Nope, just use one port per switch!

Why did you blank out the town’s name?

Why are you wanting to do that?

For the additional ports?

If so, you want to use switches instead?

If for the additional wireless coverage, go for access points
