The differences between expensive Ethernet switches and cheap ones using the example of Zyxel
We will take two switches: the Taiwanese brand Zyxel and the Chinese counterpart from a little-known manufacturer and look at the design differences and what they affect in order to answer the question - does it make sense to overpay for design features?
