It's not like just after the dot.bomb meltdown, when I could pickup
used switches at the local recyclers by the pound, but they're still
quite available.

Well, try a Netgear FS116PNA 16 port 802.11af ethernet switch for
about $200+. I don't know how many cameras you're considering, but
only 8 ports on this switch do PoE. If you only plan on one or two
cameras, you also might find it cheaper just to use PoE adapters.

Ummm... Incidentally, your questions have nothing to do with wireless
internet.
