Are you looking for a 10” rack when you say small or a 19” short rack? If it’s a 10” you are after and you have access to a 3D printer, try Lab Rax. https://makerworld.com/en/models/1294480-lab-rax-10-server-rack-5u

TP-Link Ban If it Happens

Here is a good video explaining what will happen if there is ban on the company. One item it talked about was smart home devices that are made by TP-Link which slipped my mind. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A-eHtS0U4TY&t=13s

@Jose Pelaez as do I, but I do use the tp-link as a wireless access point.

@John Lohman exactly. Put your IOT devices and publicly accessible services between the two firewalls. Having two firewalls with different OSes and FW software means that you could be safe from a zero day that hits the outside one, or one of your public services. Be wary of double-NAT as not everything is friendly to it.
