I had a Trendnet TPE-80WS running our phone network - after many years of faithful service it’s died. Given my preference for RouterOS - I’m looking for a Mikrotik alternative. I need to drive between 3 and 5 phones with 802.3af. Two models that look interesting are the CRS112-8P-4S-IN and the RB960PGS/hEX PoE. If paired with the appropriate power supply, would either of these be suitable?
I would suggest the CRS112… and don’t forget the 48V Power supply…
