Do any video guys care about configuring a network switch? Probably not, which is probably why Netgear and others are preferred. Also, this isn't an insult, as I am one of those "video guys". Been doing audio/video for just about 20 years, I just happen to also belong to our network team and cross pollinated to network. Heck, just the other day I had to spin up a Dante mic and DSP for some work stuff. I grabbed the smallest PoE layer 2 switch I had from the supply drawer (it was a Crestron switch). It powered the devices, passed the packets and the gear is none the wiser. Sure, I could have used one of the Meraki switches I had in the adjacent drawer, but I didn't want to deal with a switch that took longer than 5 seconds to boot...lol
