On a shoestring budget, I have a number of device that support VLANs that I'd like to segment, plus I'd like to open a wifi network with captive portal secured away from my main network.

What I need, though, is a cheap gigabit VLAN configurable switch. Where should I be looking for such an item?

Realistically, I only need 4 gigabit ports (uplink) and the others can be 10/100. Any switches like that?

    Hi @Garaofsand,

    Welcome to Zyxel Community!
    Regarding your requirements, I'll recommend two devices for your reference.

    GS1200-8HPv2 a pure standalone switch which supports 802.1Q VLAN and links of 10/100/1000.
    GS1920-8HPv2 a Nebula flex switch that also meet your needs and support Nebula Control Center which is more convenient to manage & monitor anywhere you are.

    Hope it helps.

    Jonas,

    You didn't really say how many ports you needed. . . .

    These days, I wouldn't even mess with a switch with 10/100 ports,
    unless you're buying something used.

    I'm assuming that you don't need power-over-ethernet. . .

    GS1200-8  (without the HP). . .     $40 or so on-line.   8 ports, gigabit, managed.
    GS1900-16                                    $85 or so on-line.   16 ports, gigabit, managed

    Though I've seen *USED* Cisco Catalyst 2960G gigabit switches
    on ebay in the $50 range for 24 gigabit ports. . .
