Networking

Buying networking gear with crypto

Network equipment is bought by specification more than any other hardware: a port count, a speed, a power budget, a standard. Get those four right and the brand barely matters. All of it is on the listing, and none of it needs an account, a card or a purchase order to buy.

Switches: ports, speed and who manages them

Count the devices, then add a third. An unmanaged switch simply forwards traffic and needs no setup; a managed or smart-managed one adds VLANs, link aggregation and monitoring, which you need as soon as cameras, guests and servers share one cable plant. Speed is per port: gigabit is the floor, 2.5-gigabit matches current Wi-Fi access points and NAS units, and 10-gigabit uplinks stop the switch becoming the bottleneck.

Power over Ethernet has a budget, not just a logo. Each access point, camera or phone draws a share of the total the switch can supply, and the standard — PoE, PoE+ or PoE++ — caps what a single port can deliver. Add up the devices before choosing; the total wattage is in the specification table of every PoE switch.

Wi-Fi: the generation, the bands and the wired side

Wi-Fi 6 is the sensible baseline, Wi-Fi 6E adds the 6 GHz band for devices that support it, and Wi-Fi 7 adds wider channels and multi-link operation for the newest clients. An access point is only as fast as the cable behind it, so a multi-gigabit access point on a gigabit switch is a gigabit access point.

A router is the one box that faces the internet; an access point only extends the network you already have, and a mesh kit is several of them managed together. For a house, a router with one or two wired access points beats any single device. For an office, buy access points and switches from a family that shares one management interface.

Transceivers, cables and what to check before paying

SFP and SFP+ modules are small and unforgiving. A module has to match the switch vendor’s coding, the fibre type — single-mode or multimode — and the distance, and the far end has to match too. The listing names the compatible platform; a generic module in a locked switch is a link that never comes up. Direct-attach copper cables are the simple answer inside one rack.

Payment is a dollar price settled in the asset you pick, fixed for 30 minutes once the payment screen opens. Small items — a patch lead, a single transceiver — are where the network fee shows, so a cheaper network makes sense for them. Equipment ships insured from Germany; the server hardware guide covers the rest of the rack.

How paying works here

  1. Fill the basket

    No account, no registration. Prices are in US dollars; the header switches the display currency and the settlement asset independently.

  2. Give an address

    A delivery address, and nothing else — an e-mail is optional and never written to. We ship insured to 56 countries.

  3. Pick the asset and pay

    The checkout quotes the exact amount in your chosen asset and holds it for 30 minutes. Send to the address shown — it is generated here, not at a payment processor.

  4. It ships

    The parcel leaves once the payment confirms, in plain outer packaging. Twenty-four-month warranty, thirty-day returns on unopened items, refunded in the asset you paid with.

Nothing is added for paying in crypto, and no payment processor sits in the middle. The only cost outside the price is the network fee your own wallet pays to broadcast.

Questions

Can I buy a managed switch with Bitcoin?
Yes. Unmanaged, smart-managed and fully managed switches are all listed and can be paid in any accepted asset.
Do I need a PoE switch?
Only if it will power devices over the network cable — access points, cameras, phones. Add up their draw and compare it with the PoE budget on the listing.
Will any SFP module work in my switch?
No. Modules are coded for a vendor and built for a fibre type and a distance. Check the compatible platform named on the listing.
Is Wi-Fi 7 worth buying now?
If your devices support it and your wired network is multi-gigabit, yes. Otherwise Wi-Fi 6 or 6E delivers most of the benefit for less.
Do you ship network equipment outside the EU?
Yes, to every country on the shipping list. Outside the EU, import duties apply on arrival.
