8 Port 2.5 Gigabit Managed Switch with 2x10G Ethernet Ports, 2x10G SFP+ Ports,1 Console Ports, Web/CLI L3 Managed, Rackmount Network SwitchI have to put the full name because the reviews im seeing is for more then one model.this brand of switch has a confusing manage UI and this switch fan is loud but so far its ok. I would recommend buying one of the cheaper manage switches of this brand.

Après plusieurs mois d'usage dans un placard, parfait, aucun problème. Et semble consommer que très peu d'énergie en veille !

Would not establish connection to gig or 2.5 gig hosts. Sent it back and ordered a TrendNet that is working perfectly.,

Strong points:1. Has a 10Gig-E SFP+ uplink port (only one, but its there) to interconnect to 10Gig-E things (e.g. your NAS)2. All 8 other ports are POE and 2.5G -- and deliver on both.3. Has L2 management (can segregate on VLANs, specifically, which is the key for many people)Weak points:1. Web interface is basic http, no TLS (so don't let it be visible from outside at all!)2. No SNMP or similar off-browser monitoring capacity (at all.)3. No "names" for ports as with most switches.Provided you don't need monitoring and can protect the management IP from being hit from the outside (which isn't very hard) this is an excellent little switch that gets you 8 2.5G POE ports for things like WiFi APs (and can handle the VLAN requirements for segregated SSIDs, etc.) -- and it has a 10Gig-E SFP+ uplink port. Oh, and its also silent as it has no fan so its friendly in occupied spaces (such as your media center.)Note that while it appears to have holes for mounting brackets (e.g. for wall mounting) the brackets are NOT in the box. Just the switch, a power supply and a tiny little manual printed in 2pt type (really; the print is ridiculously small.)Its not "all that" like its (much more) expensive cousins that are rack-mountable and have higher port counts but if you're getting a few 2.5G devices and perhaps have one 10Gig SFP+ compatible device to talk to it all its a very nice piece of kit at a great price. Got a larger managed switch? Spend one port to interconnect it to your larger Gig-E for everything else and Bob's Your Uncle there too.Its very, very hard to argue against this for what you get at the asking price. Considering that a 24-port with 12 POE+ and two SFP+ uplinks is upwards of $500 and perhaps MUCH north of that (of course those come with much more in the way of SNMP monitoring, https security, some are L3 capable, etc.) the value proposition here is obvious.No idea on durability since I just got it but the box itself is metal rather than cheap plastic, it takes a standard 120V power cord at the rear, it absolutely hits the claimed performance numbers and works with both desktop 2.5G and WiFi APs that have a 2.5G POE interface connection. I like it.

I was skeptical for the price and not much info.I have this running and recognizing at 10g between my router and this switch without any issues. The rental house I’m in was wired with cat 5e, but it seems the run in between rooms was short enough that I’m still able to establish a 10g link fwiw. I was ok with it downscaling to 5g which I thought it might do, but seems it’s fine.My desktop computers have 2.5g lan ports and one has a 5g lan port, all reporting in and recognizing 2.5g.My fiber isp is 2g, during my 10 minute test sample period, at the router I tested at about 2.2g and then proceed to test at about 1.8g at the desktop (while other people in the house were streaming, watching tv etc etc so the network was in normal use during test).I have not tested transfers between computers, doesn’t really interest me. Main goal was to get the 2g fiber speed from my wireless router to the main computer room, and distributed to our 3 gaming/streaming desktops, which this has done very well.Quite happy with those results for the price.Will update if it craps out, been up and running for about a week currently.

For number of ports available, the price is a bargain. This switch is easy to setup and configure, full speed with the 4 10gb ports loaded. The password is visible in text mode, however you can opt to encrypted or completely disable access on lower level users. For noise level, the installed fan is running full speed so it’s loud. At first, I installed a speed reduction adaptor and noise becomes bearable in my home setting environment. Then I upgraded it with two Noctua FLX fans with its low noise adaptors installed.

Switch económico para uso doméstico que permite vlan con engorroso software, para cuestiones básicas y simples suficiente.He sido incapaz de hacerle funcionar LACP ni en 10G ni en puertos 2,5G, pero igual es que no he podido sacarle todo el partido por culpa del software y me cansé de probar todas las opciones, o los protocolos del switch y mis servidores no se entendían, o vete a saber, al menos las VLAN sí funcionan para crear puntos de acceso wifi, segmentar servidores, nas, uplink otros switches y por supuesto algunos puntos de acceso directo de red.Buena opción si no quieres gastarte un dineral en otras opciones profesionales que todavía son gigabit y si ya das el paso a más número de puertos, mas bits cuestan el triple.Para tirar con VLAN y probar si puedes hacer LACP, yo no he sido capaz, es una opción sin arriesgar mucho dinero

I was upgrading my in-home network to 2.5G to go along with an internet speed upgrade, the new modem had a 2.5G port and my internet speed was 1.25G (someday to increase to 2G). Along with 2.5G ethernet on my PC and my Wi-Fi router, this switch is able to pump out maximum speed between devices.You will definitely want to enable "large frames" on your devices to get the most out of it if you are copying/streaming large files between devices on your network. With large frames enabled, I measured 2.48Gbit/s which is about as good as it gets!I got another (managed) version of this switch, and connected them via the 10G SFP+ port and it seems to work fine. Link speed on that port shows as 10G from the managed switch console. I cannot easily measure speed on that port with my current equipment, but everything appears to be working properly.

Upgraded my home network to 10GB and my wireless to Wifi7 so I could get better file copy speeds. Needed a new switch then as well.This one works well. I got some SFP modules for 10GB connections, and they worked great.Fast. Noisy, but it's in my basement so I don't mind that. But keep it in mind if you are going to put it somewhere that the noise will be an issue.

On paper it looks ok, but in practice it’s actually terrible. Dropped packets, tcp errors, latency all over the place.
