I have a small home lab, but I'm not really utilizing it.  Other than the BBS VM & a Plex VM it just sits there humming away.  I have a Ubiquiti firewall & switch there with separate vlans for the BBS, IoT & the "home" network.

I do have two Ubiquiti APs but they're "only" WiFi 5 (802.11ac), they're disconnected right now since I have two Asus WiFi 6 APs in bridge mode but they don't play well with the vlans.

I thought about upgrading to a 10Gb switch but I don't have anything really to take advantage of that right now, which would mean buying some more (expensive) toys like a 10Gb NAS to play with.  My home internet now also supports "up to" 1.5Gb download speeds, but that Ubiquiti router "only" has 1Gb ports, so I'd have to upgrade that if I wanted to take advantage of that extra 500Mb (but do I really "need" it?)

All of this and I'd probably be sleeping on the couch if I spent that kind of money...
