RE: Network switch recommendations #2
60 devices is a fair amount, I wouldn't use any SOHO switch for this amount, you didn't mention your ISP link speeds or price range but try starting with the Ubiquiti Networks Pro Max 16 PoE 2.5G / 1G Managed Network Switch. Its about $400

  • 4 2.5Gb PoE ports, so they can provide power to your APs with decent enough bandwidth if they support PoE.
  • 2 SFP 10Gb ports, assuming the router has an SFP port. otherwise use 2 of those 2.5Gb ports in EtherChannel
  • Its a silent switch

If its a bit pricey for you, try getting the Ubiquti usw-flex-2-5g-8-poe for about $200
  • 8 2.5Gb PoE
  • 1 PoE++ RJ45/SFP port for your link to the router
