Why you should consider investing in a managed network switch
A managed network switch is more capable than you may realize. Here are a few ways it can improve your home networking.

Look at your router. Now back to me. Now back to your router. And back to me. Your router isn't me, but it could be improved with a managed network switch. This is a smart switch that can provide additional bandwidth through more RJ45 ports and controls for creating virtual LANs (VLANs), managing and monitoring traffic, and setting priorities and other rules. Even if you don't plan to build out a home lab with countless servers and network-attached storage (NAS) enclosures, a network switch is worth considering for your home.
