Buying Wired Networking Equipment

How to Choose the Right Commercial Networking Gear

Whether you're building a high-speed home network, setting up game servers, or managing enterprise infrastructure, you need reliable wired networking hardware. At Newegg you can shop full collections from the official BrandStore pages of Ubiquiti Networks, Cisco Systems, Netgear, SonicWall and Sophos, covering everything from switches and NICs to firewalls and accessories.

Core Components & Use Cases

Firewalls, Routers & Gateways

  • Hardware Firewalls: Protect networks with dedicated threat prevention appliances
  • VPN Routers: Secure remote access and encrypted connections for remote teams
  • Unified Threat Management (UTM): All-in-one security solutions with antivirus, IPS, and content filtering
  • Gateway Devices: Combine routing, firewall, and WAN failover for small to mid-sized businesses

Switches

  • Managed Switches: VLAN, QoS, PoE—ideal for enterprise or campus networks
  • Unmanaged Switches: Plug-and-play gear for home and small offices
  • PoE Switches: Power IP cameras, VoIP phones, wireless APs—no extra wiring needed
  • Rackmount & Industrial Switches: Deploy in server rooms, factories, or outdoor cabinets

Access Points

  • Indoor Access Points: Expand Wi-Fi coverage in offices, schools, and retail spaces
  • Outdoor Access Points: Weatherproof units for warehouses, campuses, and event areas
  • Wi-Fi 6 & Wi-Fi 6E : Faster speeds, lower latency, and better performance in dense environments
  • Wi-Fi 7: Unlock next-gen wireless performance with higher throughput, lower jitter, and improved multi-device support
  • Mesh-Ready APs: Seamless roaming and scalable wireless networks with minimal dead zones

Network Interface Cards (NICs)

  • Gigabit & 10GbE NICs: High performance cards for servers and workstations
  • USB Ethernet Adapters: Add wired access to ultraportable laptops
  • Fiber NICs with SFP/SFP+: For long-distance, low-latency fiber connectivity

Security, Infrastructure & Accessories

  1. Firewalls & VPN Appliances
    Block threats and manage secure access for SMBs and enterprise remote access.
  2. Structured Cabling & Patch Panels
    Organize your wiring with Cat6/Cat6a panels and cable management kits for reliability and scalability.
  3. SFP/SFP+ Transceivers & Optics
    Connect switches or devices over fiber with compatible modules for high bandwidth links.

Typical Scenarios

  • Home & Gaming: Use an unmanaged gigabit switch for minimized latency.
  • Remote Office & SMB: PoE switch + firewall combo delivers power and protection.
  • Enterprise Deployment: Layer 3 switches + firewalls for high-security multi-site networks.

Wired Networking FAQs

Q: Is wired networking always better than Wi-Fi?

Yes—wired connections generally offer higher bandwidth, lower latency, and more consistent performance.

Q: When should I upgrade from Gigabit to 10GbE?

Consider upgrading if you transfer large files, run VMs, or need faster network storage access.

Q: Do I need a managed or unmanaged switch?

Managed switches offer VLANs, QoS, and monitoring; unmanaged are simpler and plug-and-play.

Q: How many ports should my switch have?

Get enough for current devices plus 20% extra for future growth.

Q: Can I mix different network speeds on the same switch?

Yes, but the slowest link will limit performance for that connection.

Pricier than I'd like, but works great

“ So overall, it does just what I need, no complaints - I just think it's a shame how much pricier 2.5Gb switches are than 1Gb switches. ”
