Does this setup make sense? Upgrading to 10gbps

[cocopuff]

Planning to recontract to 10gbps from 5gbps, plan expires in 6 months, but wanting to start early.

At the moment, I use a basic gigabit RJ45 switch, to patch panel for PC, TV, PS5, wife PC. Flat comes with cat 6a. Using HB710 routers for mesh.

Now what I'm thinking is, getting something like a TP-Link ES210X to make use of the increased bandwidth https://www.omadanetworks.com/sg/business-networking/omada-switch-agile/es210x-m2/

So setup will be ONT > HB710 > SFP+ module > SFP+ port on switch > RJ45 to patch panel. Planning on getting a SFP+ module like https://amzn.asia/d/06hRuMDn (I will try find something cheaper haha.. with multiple data rates) so can negotiate the speeds. I also plan to use the other SFP+ port on the switch to link to the data point that my PC is connected at, to get higher download speeds.. and will upgrade my NIC to 10g

Now my question is, since now I'm only at 5Gbps plan (for the next 6 months at least), will this new setup allow my PC to actually get higher than 1gbps? Looks like the SFP+ ports on the switch only work for 1G or 10G connection? So will the SFP+ module negotiate down to 1G, making the upgrade pointless for now? Unless I use the 2.5G RJ45 ports?

you are wasting your time.

U will NOT feel a difference.

Pls disagree with me , and continue waste your time + money.
Then come back here in 2-3 months and acknowledge someone told u so.

Partially true until u perform a few multiple Gigs or Tera file (single and multiples).

Google de Ai overview say this wor:

You will get a 2.5 Gbps connection. Your computer’s 2.5 Gbps port, the Cat6a cable, and the SFP+ port on the ES210X-M2 will auto-negotiate and drop down to the lowest common speed supported by all components.

It also have this:

The Caveat: SFP+ to RJ45 adapters generate a significant amount of heat. Because the ES210X-M2 is fanless, ensure it is placed in a well-ventilated area so the module doesn't overheat

If the host only support 10 or 1Gbps, even u use 2.5Gbps, u will only get 1Gbps bandwidth unless the host can support 1,2,5 and 10Gbps den u can get 2.5Gbps. U nid to check the SFP modules on the bandwidth it can support.

IMHO.
My setup
ONT -> DLINK DPN-BR7212GR -> 5-Port 10 GbE Switch ->
Combination of USB 5GbE, 10GbE PCI-E NIC,

Recommend to check out Sirivision ST3408F, where you can use SFP+ DAC do that first, for cases you cannot then fallback to using copper over cat6.
