As one member asked above, do you really need 2.5 Gig ? The APs that you are trying to connect will actually not benefit from a 2.5Gig connection as they have 1 Gig uplinks. You are better off getting a TP-Link 1 Gig POE Switch.

Oh, missed that. So I have 2.5G Pc and 2.5G NAS so I was wondering if I can leverage the speed, but after seeing the price 1G POE normie switch is also probably better because of the price.

If 2.5G is not a hard requirement then you can get china imported 1G POE switches locally for cheap, not as cheap as Aliexpress but cheaper when you add delivery and customs. and also the shop gives a warranty on it. Got one in my home town aftr my Ubiquiti uped itslef in flames and it has been working great for the cameras and other connections.

This is the correct answer - none of your devices have a 2.5GbE uplink

On wifi, you will need a better WiFi AP - something which has a 2.5G port. Something like the XE75 Pro, and you can use its downlink ports as a switch if used in AP mode, doing away with the need for a 2.5G switch
