I bought a 10GbE switch for my 1GbE network, and it’s not as crazy as it sounds

Buying a 10GbE switch for a network where almost everything still runs at 1GbE sounds unnecessary. If your computers, access points, printers, and other devices still have Gigabit Ethernet, spending money on a 10GbE switch can look like buying hardware for a problem you do not have. That was my situation, and I still bought a 10GbE switch.
