My pleasure sir. May i know why u wanna change yr switch? Any particular setup ur looking into?

No particular reason, just thinking that family members watching a lot of youtube and tv apps on mobile phone or tablet at times causes stuttering despite i am on unifi 30mbs so I am thinking may be need a switch with capable QOS to do the job properly. (I didn't turn on the smart qos on ERL, want to leave that for the switch). My network topology is simple :

BTU-> ERL -> Switch (TP LINK 8 port gigabit switch (plug and play type)) -> IP TV
-> Hypp TV -> Old NAS (single bay) -> going to change to 4Bay later...funding WIP
-> Smart TV
-> AP (RT-AC68U) -> smart phones (3), Tablet (2), laptop (2), IPTV

Any suggestions or any things can further improve?
Thanks

Your setup is not bad at all. While waiting for yr future switch based qos, why not give the smart qos on the erl a go? Just to see if it improve or the other way around.

My theory is u may suffer from buffer bloat, one or several of your device used up or hogs yr upload speed which is capped at 10mbps. This may cause the stutter in your setup. Once the upload que is used up, it will suffer yr download speed regardless of hw much bandwidth u still have.

I hope i didnt confuse u. U can read up many available articles regarding bufferbloat online. A simple solution is to enable smart qos so it can manage the bandwidth to avoid bufferbloat to occur. Cheers.
