I am looking to take as much advantage of 2.5Gb connections as I possibly can. I need to make sure I am thinking correctly about how to best wire the network and make sure I am getting the proper TP-Link router and switch. I want to be able to control them via the Omada OC300 Controller that is already in the network. I have included the current and potential network diagram below.

 

Comments and recommendations are most welcome. Thank you!

Doable. The only thing is the CAT6 30-meter cable between two switches. If this does not link up to 10Gbps, check if the cable is okay and can support 30-meter 10Gbps.

To take advantage of 2.5Gb connections, ensure your TP-Link router and switch support this speed for smooth performance across devices. For visualizing and refining your network plan, I recommend Creately as a helpful tool.

To make sure everything’s wired correctly, using a clear network diagram can really help with planning and spotting any potential issues with connections. I’ve used Creately for network diagrams (layouts) .t’s useful for mapping out complex setups like yours with routers, switches, and controllers. It might be worth trying for a straightforward visual of your network plan.
