Also, do not use a 1GB switch in the LVP. You mentioned you want to upgrade to wifi 7; might as well future-proof yourself and use a 2.5GB switch (or 2.5GB switch with two 10GB SFP+ ports.) Even though Centric is 1GB right now, I'm sure they will increase this eventually.

Quantum is now offering 500Mbs, 1Gbs, 2Gbs, 5Gbs and 8Gbs so I would assume Centric will offer faster speeds as well over time if they installed the infrastructure to supply these speeds. But at the end of the day, if you are just streaming and surfing the web 1Gbs should be overkill. But in addition to getting faster internet if you install a NAS then having a faster switch in the LVP is probably a good idea. I've actually upgraded my network to 10Gbs in my home myself, just because.
