So. Need some help with two things. Switch choice and network design.
First up - switch choice.
Either this Netgear 8 x 1Gb switch + 2x 10Gb port jobby:

or this, 5 x 2.5Gb + 2x 10Gb port QNAP:
www.scan.co.uk
...or something else?
Next up: Does this work?
Basically:
So yeah. Does this work?
If not, how do I fix it?
If it does - would you do something differently/potentially better?
Edit: Squiggly green lines denote where the mesh would potentially be. (In the house really). No squiggles, no mesh.

...or something else?
Next up: Does this work?
Basically:
- Switches are a 10Gb backbone. They connect 'Router + Barn' to 'House'.
- House has more wires - to TV/PC and to Wifi points - which will also talk to wifi mesh points
- Second wire to 'Outbuilding' to another Wifi point - which can also talk to either another mesh point in 'cabin' (or simply serve the cabin without another mesh point)
So yeah. Does this work?
If not, how do I fix it?
