I have a Dlink DIR 890L router, and have a couple of 8port switches daisy chained to it. I want to clean things up and potentially improve my network. I plan to get a 16 or 24 port switch, but am trying to figure out if I should go with a managed switch.
Will the QoS of the router not be enough to handle prioritizing of traffic, or does a managed switch do a better job? I don't plan to set up a VLAN.
I currently have 13 wired devices and about 10 wireless devices running. There are five of us, and we are very heavy users of both Internet and of the NAS.
