re: Ethernet switches that do not have loop detection

I changed the title. It is called loop detection not loop end. I was just curious if this is a make or break deal for the ones that do not have it

The only potential issue in home use is with multiple wireless access points/mesh systems. Some of those systems can be communicating briefly over both a wireless and a wired backhaul. This can appear as a loop in a network. If there is loop detection protection in a network switch, it can prevent the wireless network from operating properly.

For home use the safe choice is not to have loop detection but if you do have it, make sure it is possible to disable it should you need to.
