    Tech Gurus, what is a good network switch?

    Home will have google wifi for devices (3 phones, 1 ipad, 1 Smart TV) and smart home items (2 Nests, 2 August Smart locks, 1 echo show, 2 echos, 2 dots)

    Ethernet plugged items will be the smart TVs (3) , the google wifi router + 2 base stations, 1 smarthings HUB and my gaming computers (2).

    Do I need managed or unmanaged?

    Unmanaged. Any 1 gig name brand with respectable reviews will do.

    I'm not savvy with needing a switch over a plain ol router.

    Wouldn't something like a Netgear Orbi work for what's needed?
