What to buy
| Box | What it is | Street, 22 Aug 2026 | Buy if |
|---|---|---|---|

| TP-Link SG3210XHP-M2 / TL-SG3210XHP-M2 | Same ports, Omada, 2 fans, 240 W, 1U rack, 17.2 W idle / ~292 W with PD | Amazon $419.99 (B092VFS6K3). | You already have a rack and a 240 W PoE load. Not the closet default. |
Skip
Skip the HP as a primary closet buy. Valid SKU, wrong room. Skip 24-port multi-gig PoE racks (heat, fans, 300–700 W bricks). Skip SODOLA PoE toys. If you only have two APs and no 10G cage, the unmanaged TL-SG105PP-M2 is the smaller hop. 1G path: cheap PoE.
