I need to replace old 16-port 100Mb switch on our site with 11PCs and few other LAN clients.
What 24-port switch would you recommend in combination with this Mikrotik hEX?
Or do you recommend some 2in1 router+switch device? (I am not experienced with networking so I do not know if this makes sense).Currently, we use TP-Link's TL-R480T+ Load Balance Router between our 16-port Switch and 2 internet connections (one 4G mobile, and one 10/10 on optical fiber)

You know I'd personally only do ER but for this guy with the night hawk a USG is nothing short of an improvement but if the owner was being serious about his business then yea I'd stick with ER-4 or 6
USG doesn't do wireless so this is apple/oranges.

BUt only 25W... Usually a phone is between 3W and 4W usage, which can be roughly 8 phones tops plugged in and maxing out the power usage. But I guess for this project it might be okay.

But for loads of people, PoE isn't even necessary. If you need a lot, well this won't cut it. But if you need very little, or none, it's perfect and CHEAP.

@scottalanmiller Are we talking about the edgerouter with POE?
I haven't used it but looked into it and it seems like some odd non-standard POE implementation. Not the usual PoE/PoE+ you'll find everywhere else.

Yeah, I realized that.

The ES-24-LITE isn't even a PoE switch, not sure why they put the 25W in the title... 25W is the power consumption of the power supply, it has nothing to do with PoE.
