      I would look at the Cisco SG200 line of switches if you need a managed switch. Unbquiti has the Unifi switch for access switches but I haven't gotten a chance to use any of them yet. (the have the edgeswtich for coreswitches as well)

        I've been having really good luck with Netgear's switches. Their Smart Switches have been working fantastically. Although not sure I would get one for home use.

                That's unfortunate to hear. Been working wonderfully here. I've also heard many good things about the HP switches although I haven't had the chance to use one.

                  Yep, I believe they all were NETGEAR PROSAFE GS748T

                    HPs it greatly depends on the models. Some of them are great. Some of them are really sensitive to things like fox and hounds if they get on a port and will cause the switch to reset. Most switches are made to handle this very low voltage (under 5v).

                      I've got 3 of those in service right now. I have 4 of their new SS3300's as well.

                              I guess we are more country around here. That's what we call them.

                                We just take the devices away as the means to limit usage, so no need for any special stuff there, and we've got a hardware firewall, because I'm pretty nuts.. I mean hardcore... as it is (drop amp, 8 cable modems, etc...)

                                Anyway, even most off the shelf things, like Netgear routers come with pseudo-"firewalls" (by means of NAT) and allow you to limit time (or create windows of access) based on IP and MAC address.

                                  For the filtering part, what about OpenDNS?
