- It does what it's supposed to do. - It's small/light/wall-mountable - It looks good
Price got it on sale for $15. Nice metal Case. Working non stop since 2014 January. Just plug and play.
I work in information technology, and sometimes configure larger managed switches. When I read the specifications for this switch and then the price, I don't think I've ever impulse bought a network device faster, and I don't regret it. It does everything it says it does in the manual, is inexpensive, fanless, and has a great, sturdy iron case with notches for wall mounting using the included screws and wall anchors. Apart from the very solid build quality an iron case imparts, the extra weight is incredibly helpful to keep the device firmly planted where you put it when you have Ethernet cables hanging from all of the ports.
Easy to set up with clear instructions. Full metal construction. Thick foam rubber foot pads.
Small Physical Signature: This switch is small so doesn't take up much space. Plug and Play: Speed test done right after installed and it does a great job.
I purchased this product to add Tv and computer to my connection. I had a plastic five slot one From another manufacture that did not give me the speed I was paying for 400Mbs. Which I had gotten for games and watching movies as there are multiple systems in my house. I had an earlier purchase of an ten slot metal case by same manufacture and it worked perfectly to get me the right speed. I didn't need such a large switch in that room so I had purchased this one which works perfectly also. Moved the larger switch to the front room with Tv ,computer, ,playstation, exbox, etc
Adds 4 more ports. I put this at the end of a powerline kit to connect all my devices. It is very small. If you are looking to add extra ports to your network, then this will be the best $10 you ever spent.
* Nice compact form factor * Included power adapter option is nice * Even nicer is being able to power it off PoE - one less wire/plug socket to deal with * Integrates well with the UniFi Network app, showing what devices are connected to it
UniFi compatible and suited to the kinds of awful environmental conditions the old Ubiquiti Tough Switch Pro was perfect for. Being managed by UniFi rather than UISP simplifies the network, so it's GREAT to have this niche filled. Surprisingly useful to have more ports, didn't know we needed them until we had the option.
Has 2x10Gbps slots, 8x2.5Gbps slots, and 16x1Gbps slots. All 24 of the RJ45 ports have a backlight that glows through the clear RJ45 connector on your cable to convey which port speed you achieved. Green is 2.5Gbps, white is 1Gbps, Red is 100Mbps. This makes it really easy to know if you have the right cable in the right slot.
Works, and works well, right out of the box, with no fuss not mess. Seems to be very well made.
Works as advertised and had no issues with autonegotiating speeds on interfaces with Google Fiber's provided equipment (an issue I had read about in reviews for other boxes which I was concerned about). Get full speed.
-Whisper quite -Many Features -Web GUI or phone app to manage it -You have to know what your doing or at least read the manual.
Dependable
Fast, well constructed, easy to use, just like any other quality switch I have owned (I have at least 6 1G ones in my house). Hopefully the power plug holds up, that's really the only weak point on the 1G switches.
- literally plug the cables into the appropriate spots, the lights come on and it starts working. Does exactly what I wanted it to.
No setup, just connect all device and ... that`s it!
