"good switch" for consumer use is kinda' of a oxymoron

any switch will do as long as it has the number of ports you need and it's GigaBit

all consumer switches are unmanaged

managed SW are for small business and up, but still can have some use in a home office environment - but that's another talk

 

TPLink's Easy Smart is a waste of money since you won't (most likely) have VLANs nor the NIC teaming
