How to setup Fiber 5gbps to multiple devices

[melonandknife]

Hi there,

A Telus tech today came and installed fiber access into my downstairs office.  I have two computers that can utilize up to 10gbps connections in this room (PC + Home Server).  The provided booster only has 1x 5gbps port, 1x 2.5gbps port, and 1x 1gbps port.

How would I go about connecting the fiber connection to these computers so I can use the appropriate bandwith? Would it be Fiber -> 5gbps switch -> PC #1/Server#2/Wi-Fi Booster?

Yes you pretty much figured it out.

I have a similar setup that i use the telus white box only as a router ; DNS resolution happens on one of the VMs on my cluster.

In terms of switches, would something like this work?

In the modem/router settings, would I keep it as routed or would it be under Port 10G bridge?

The device you posted from amazon seems to be an intelligent switch and that is ideal; no need for network noise. 

as bridge vs routing goes, that is totally biased on your desired topology; I am not sure on the technical capabilities of posted switch, but I would bridge the 10g port to the port of the switch that has the ONT connection and use the reminder on the YuanLey device to act as a switch. If I understood what you want  to achieve. If isolating ports is not possible on that switch maybe routed is what will work best for you

The yuan ley un managed switch, runs from 100mbs to 10000 mbs speeds.

For the 5 gb network port on the wifi 6e boost wifi and the un managed switch , you can use a cat 5e network cable but prefarably a cat 6 or 6e network cable would be preferable.

you can use other  manufacturers or brands of 10 gb unmanaged switch, such as sodola, moker link, vimin.
