this is for when you need a more secure online connection and reliable speed above that of wifi like for a home office or competitive gaming.

For most homes unmanaged is fine. I run managed switches mainly so my guest and iot vlans can be completely segregated from my regular home network vlan
I've want to do the same. Could you please point me to an article or video to guide me through the process?
Thank you

While this is a well-rated switch, you may want to buy a few switches, configure them the same, then store one of them. Provide proper air circulation and cooling to the other, using a touch test for heat after it's been running a while. A review I read on Amazon for it started off stellar, but they changed it to a one star as it died several months in, and the warranty didn't cover use. It's a good deal though- just be smart.
* - If you're really sensitive to radiation, also use a Trifield meter and maybe a cheap meter for circularly polarized radiation. Wiring Ethernet is a good step towards turning off 24/7 emissions, and makes more sense than being like the brother in Better Call Saul. Cages, blocking paint and fabric may just push devices to use more power; for example, you'd want to block the house-side of a smart meter, not wrap it in an exterior cage, or it may just raise power to speak to its friends. Radiation can be moderately safe and even helpful, such as some level of alpha radiation from Radon having shown to reduce chance of cancer in chain-smokers as well as generally protecting against genetic mutation, but given that trust in companies, industries, and government would fail if something embedded into our daily lives like wifi, bluetooth, cellular communication, etc. were found harmful, there's little reason to suspect all radio transmissions are safe for everyone. And wired networks can be fun, and may have Freudian First Wave therapeutic effects from plugging things in.
