Ah I've heard of those, will look into it, ta.
I was originally going to buy the Unifi Switch Lite 16 which seemed perfect for my needs, but they randomly brick themselves. A rack mounted switch would have been too big, so I settled on two 8 port switches.
The plan was to run one switch from the LAN1 port on my USG and the other from the LAN2, thereby avoiding a single point of failure. Unfortunately that seems to mean having to have LAN2 on a different subnet and I haven't found a way around this.
So I could get internet to the stuff on LAN2 but it couldn't talk to the stuff on LAN1, and now the Netgear dumb switch is just plugged into the Unifi switch.

Why two switches and not just one bigger one?
