In Wired Networking

Small/efficient design Flexible PoE output

Small, well-designed switch that can either be hung on the wall--which is actually quite handy--or, with the addition of supplied rubber feet, set on a desktop or shelf. The unit is small for an 8-port switch, barely larger than a 5-port switch (of another brand). The switch supports gigabit Ethernet as well as legacy 10/100 speeds, with auto-sensing. No special crossover NIC cable is necessary to connect this switch to other networking components. The external power supply is shaped to help avoid blocking other outlets on your power strip. The switch powers up in less than a second and runs cool and is silent. You can use it either as a "plug and play" (unmanaged) switch out of the box, or you can configure the switch via the supplied utility. From the utility, VLAN and QoS settings can be configured, as well as static IP or DHCP, and the admin account password. I feel that this switch represents a lot of value at its price point, and I would recommend it without hesitation for either home or small business use.

This is a very nice unit, finished nicely and does what a USB hub should do. Clever design with some weight to it, it is a handsome solution for it's intended purpose.

When you first read a product overview you have a tendency to look over it quickly and move on to the product’s specifications. Exactly what I did this time and them I installed this Smart Switch in place of my older TP-Link Router. I was surprised by the speed and efficiency at which this switch works. I was also surprised that you could actually monitor the switch at work. When I receive a product to write a review on I try to be thorough and write down in plain terms my experience with the item. First there are cheaper switches on the market. Second you have to decide if you want to have a wired portion of your network. Third is it worth your time to run cables and wire your house to achieve a wired network. Fourth do you need a secured wired network or network that has wired section? While there are cheaper routers and you may feel that the time used to run cables can be used to do something better, I would say that it is a great idea to have a section of your network that is capable of communicating over RJ45. The router is small and can be managed which is a plus. Taking the time to set up the network correctly will enhance you network stability. While wireless might be the way to go, having a wired portion of your network will give you an advantage in your home office. I use mine for software downloads and when installing windows on the computers I repair for family and friends. If you decide to do this to your network you will find that you have been missing out on faster download speed. You will also realize that you now have control over the ports and if you do decide to wire one side of your network you will be able to stream and game without bottlenecking the network. This is a well manufactured compact device that can be used at home or at your business. Installation is a breeze and everything you need to get started in in the box. Purchase your cables for the other items and you will be up and running in no time. Great buy for your home or business.

* 1x SPF+ WAN + 1x SFP+ LAN (connection to fiber ONT and one for uplink to other switches) * Local web interface (cloud management optional, not required) * Solid performance (e.g. hitting 8 Gb down on oversubscribed 10 Gb fiber) * Mostly silent; fans turn on for a couple of minutes every now and then, but mostly they stay off in my home office

Super easy setup. Plenty of POE ports.

I had no issue getting 10g speed with my ASUS 10G switch and CAT 6a cable. It is great getting 500+ mbs copying files from one computer to another.

Easy installation. It is a "smart" switch and can provide basic information on port status and VLAN configuration.

Easy to set up
