    Hi, saw this on my feed and noticed that i bought this exact switch 4 weeks ago. saddly it suddenly died a week ago. poe and networking was dead, only one led was still on. Return to amazon was flawless as usual. I dont know if it was bad luck or a general Problem. The switch was operating in a room temperature Environment and delivered about 30W of poe 24/7 to 3 access points with 2,5g and one uplink to my switch but only over 2.5g not sfp+. Until it died the switch worked perfectly fine. Maybe this helps one or another on a purchase decission.

    It’s great but it’s unmanaged so for me that’s not ideal. STH has a bunch of reviews on units similar to this but all are unmanaged

    everyone in here has a gucci poweredge or proliant but when it comes to networking they’ll buy a potmetal switch made by a child slave in bangladesh and call it a day if it has 2.5g connections

      I mean I think 2.5g is just becoming the new 1g. my last two motherboards have had 2.5g, Nas hardware is coming with 2.5g standard now, the last usb ethernet dongle I got for my laptop I got 2.5g for a few quid extra. At that point all I need is a switch and I have a free network upgrade. But I do agree with you - if 1g is too slow, more than likely 2.5g is as well, so it’s straight to 10g and beyond.

      I have a 10Gb connection but for the moment I will run 2.5Gb for all devices.

      I will migrated to 10Gb when switches are around $100.

    There was even cheaper options linked in this sub yesterday… including ones with 10G uplinks, and 8x 2.5G ports.

    I don’t think it’s that far-fetched. Plus, it’s amazon. You can return it if you’re not happy with it
