Thanks for all the info and the detailed response!
Correct, don't need wifi.
I'm happy with doing this through a separate switch, but I'm happier if I can have less things to plug in. It's not a must have though.
I don't have cameras yet, but I'm considering some Reolink ones. Happy to take suggestions. Am I likely to find a lot of difference in the PoE type or are most things compatible with each other?
If you're buying new cameras they'll be 802.3af PoE. Passive is becoming much less common. So that model router I linked would work great.
I think if you're a moderately technically inclined person you would be happy with that solution. If you are intimidated at the idea of writing or adapting some scripts, I would probably recommend a router on one of the other platforms plus a PoE switch.
Thanks! I'll put it on my list ๐
As someone who is also a fan of having less things to plug in I must say, one pitfall of having an all-in-one device is that if it fails then EVERYTHING fails and you're left having to replace a (probably expensive, possibly hard to get) all-in-one device.
Well I was hoping to spend the same amount and get one that does everything I wanted ๐. I'm happy with separating things if it make sense, but I have two power points and already have too many devices in that spot (fiber connection modem + ISP router + two raspberry pi's (one for pi-hole, one for home assistant) + a switch + RF sensor for detecting doorbell + more I'm probably forgetting). Some of these are powered from USB ports on other ones. Being able to replace the ISP router with a gateway that's also a switch that also handles the pi-hole would mean three of those devices become one, and it seems feasible!
