Hi all, since ya'll are self hosters, I'm sure you all deal with all sorts of different pieces of hardware, accessories, peripherals, and what not; just wondering if you could please share your favorite, solid, "go to" brands for overall things you need for your setup such as cables (all types), adapters, dongles, power accessories, hubs & docks, flash drives, you name it! I'm sure it varies depending on exactly what type of equipment you're looking for but just looking for overall good brands to stick with for such things. I obviously know the main ones like Anker, Cable Matters, Ugreen, maybe Belkin, Idk. Would love to hear your recommendations! Thank you

I've been liking Mikrotik stuff for networking lately. Not as user friendly GUI as Ubiquiti but definitely not as expensive.

    Just bought a Mikrotik LHGG kit for LTE internet and went from about 3-5 Mbit/s down with a TP-link (archer 400 something) to 30-150mbit/s down and much more stable. I'm really impressed with it and WinBox and will for sure have a good look at their switches when it comes to putting up the home network infrastructure. Though, as you said, you need to know what you are doing and need a better understanding of networking but it also gives you a better flexibility and more things that are possible to do.
