I have a AT&T BGW320-500 gateway with the AT&T FIBER — INTERNET 5000 Gbps plan in my garage.

That gateway’s 5Gb ethernet port is plugged into a TP-Link TL-SG1024S and that switch connects to 12 ethernet cables (Cat 6) that connect to the ethernet wall patch panels throughout the house.

The house has 2 flours and my main computer room is upstairs.

I have a NAS in my computer room for video editing. I also have a PC, personal laptop, and work laptop with 10Gbe NICs.

I want to buy 2 switches, one for the garage and one for the computer room. I only care about the computer room having a 10Gbe switch but I believe I need another switch for the garage to send up a 10Gbe connection to my computer room.

I’m looking for some suggestions on how I would go about doing this because I don’t really understand connecting switches like this.

I also randomly have a Juniper EX4200 series with 10G modules. I also have a linksys SR224G and a planet POE-2400 but I don’t think these will be useful.

I attached some photos of some of the current setup.

    I’m sure you were prepared for the comments of “why do you need 5gbps? You don’t need it.” It’s your money, and you can do what you want with it.

    It won’t be cheap though.
