Yeah, all the stats in the world only do so much good if it only gives half of the picture.

On their blog they said there was issue giving incorrect results for very fast connections so they disabled it temporarily.

Started realizing (aside from what everyone has told me about my job) how drained I am after working, and how much I don't really enjoy this.

Start training yourself for development if your still interested in that. Actually you should always be doing that as it gives you more options if you become tired of present role and just makes you more valuable. Rarely is there a downside to learning too much.

What you do is a HUGE part of your life. 25-40% of your time. If you don't love it, get out and find something that makes you happy. Whether it's a different company, job, career, location - it's one of the most important things in life to figure out. It's such a huge part of your life, don't let it be something that doesn't make you happy.

I know what you mean, but you can be knocked back at job interviews because you're over qualified / over experienced.
That's happened to me in the past, it annoyed me, but I never felt disappointed because of it. -

That's happened to me in the past, it annoyed me, but I never felt disappointed because of it.That's bad logic, though. That can happen for any perceived reason. The more experience and skill you have, the more YOU control the narrative. You can always not mention experience that you have, but you would have to lie to make up experience that you don't have.

No, not always. I recently went for a project management role.I could tell I had more experience than the person who was in charge of the group and who was doing the interviews, if for no other reason than I was probably close to 20 years older than he.
I was unsuccessful and since found out who got the role.
I'm fairly sure I was knocked back because the manager of the group suspected that dealing with me due to the level and length of my experience may just have been too awkward.
In that interview I was more professional and personable than any of the other interviewers, with the exception of one, who was closer to my age group.
I wasn't the type they were looking for & there was nothing I could do to change that.

Ubiquiti. https://switch.ui.com/
Software defined networking is the way to go. That's why the Cisco Meraki products are almost business standard where Cisco is deployed, but I don't like paying the monthly fee that Meraki charges. Plus, Ubiquiti still has ssh capability, if needed, for their devices.A well-defined SDN will allow expansion by easily adopting new devices and provisioning those devices to match your existing hardware, or stretch your footprint as with VPNs. For your specific request, I'd get the US-48-500W since adding PoE now will help you not buy a PoE later when you need that function, such as when adding phones or security cameras.
One of the absolute coolest things that ubiquiti has is this feature where it integrates an AR to your cell phone to help you find wtf is plugged in. Check it out:

https://prd-www-cdn.ubnt.com/media/static/media/bg.e5ecc7ca.mp4This is super cool. I don't think I'd ever use it... but it's awesome nonetheless.

@scottalanmiller likes Netgear, I hate them. Different life experiences with them is all.
I would go the Ubiquiti EdgeSwitch.
Depending on what you actually mean by core would change up the recommendations for specific units. But they have the entire spectrum covered.

Closing on the house tomorrow. Got my ubiquiti equipment ready
