      Switches 3 and 4 are single points of failure. The other 2 & 5 are completely redundant unnecessary.

      You can just use 2 switches total, cross-connect each to upstream, and do vLANs/subnets to isolate the traffic downstream.

      Edit: if you really wanna do physical separation and you want redundancy you’d want to connect 2&5 to both routers.

      Honestly tho textbook network with that many nodes for so few devices is already overkill for home, so doing that many switches is just… Idk man, doing full stack troubleshooting for an hour while everyone’s just trying to watch a movie is gonna do more hatm than good.

      Whoever implements this should probably spin up a ticketing system for the house.

        yeah true it’s a satire topology btw

        imagine running high end switches and routers just for your kids.
