MikroTikCSS326-24G-2S+RM Managed Gigabit Ethernet (10/100/1000) Supports Power Over Ethernet (PoE) 1U Network Switch, White

I have been using this in my system for a few days so far. I love the overall build and look as soon as I got it out of the packaging. Initial setup was pretty straight forward using the SWOS. I know some people don't like the SWOS but I have used other web-based management systems on switches and this was better then others I have used. I setup this with multiple VLAN's and DHCP snooping and it is handling all of that well. I connected the 10Gb up-links using Ipolex DAC cables which were recognized and also worked with my Solarflare NICs and I was able to saturate the link at 9.6GB with iperf using default settings with UDP (which I was using an Intel Pentium 5400 on one end so this was probably limited by the processor and not the switch). Latency and jitter were low, and the switch has been staying under 60 degrees Celsius so far. I have been very happy with the performance of this switch and you cannot go wrong with this at this price point.

I've had this switch for about a year. For the first few months, I used it as a dummy-switch. As time progressed, I started to put some stress on the switch by adding several vlans and pushing traffic through it. This switch held up to the test. Didn't get too hot, no noise, and segmentation was sound.For those looking for a router, this is not the device for you. For those looking for a smart switch, multiple vlans, segmentation, LAG, and port isolation, THIS IS THE SWITCH FOR YOU.I highly recommend this switch for SO/HO use. It's more than worth it.

Highly recommend... I use at a couple remote locations for the 1G and 100mb data throughput... These units work great and are easy to manage. I would highly recommend.. I really like connecting these on a fiber switch and it works great and incredibly fast on my LAN!

Switch OS "swos" works fine, even a dummy like me figured it out. This is my main switch, runs a little toasty but it's silent. It's done everything I've asked of it at a great price. The SFP+ ports worked perfectly out of the box with generic SFP+ transceivers, too.For this price, there isn't anything better.

This is by far the best option for the price if you want it’s feature-set without buying loud used enterprise gear or sketchy devices from overseas.The web interface is good, but there’s no console, and you never quite shake the feeling that’s it’s a product made by talented and dedicated people, but ones that are still working out of a garage.Firmware and security updates will be posted for the long haul, it runs at full speed, and it does its job. If you need good but slightly weird hardware for a reasonable price, Mikrotik is the only game in town.

I am upgrading my home network to be an all MikroTik network. I needed to replace a couple of unmanaged switches with a managed MikroTik switch. I looked at all of the units available and found this one for a surprisingly good price. The only thing that I was unhappy with was I felt the temperature of the processor was getting a little too warm for me. Since this unit would be in a closet, I added a 40mm fan to it and this keeps the temp down to low to mid 30C. Other than that, I am very happy with the unit. I like MikroTik’s philosophy of using the same software for all of their products. Once you learn their software, it is easy to configure most of their products.

This is the first switch of it's size I have bought for home office and I am completely satisfied! I'm using both SFP ports without issue and using cables bought here on https://amazon.com.I have a 10GB fiber SFP cable from the switch (in the office) to my Mikrotik RB5009 router, in the living room and performance beats my expectations! The second is a 1GB copper SFP to a Mikrotik RB260GS switch which I use to segregate WiFi for IoT and performance is great there as well.If you made it here you probably know that I do like Mikrotik products. However, any cons? Well by far the only thing I could say is that I have a hard time understanding VLAN configuration on MT switches. I know it well enough that I was able to configure 3 VLANs but I constantly have to refer to online docs.

This switch does not support the software I'm used to using for managing mikrotik switches, winbox. for that you need to get a much more expensive switch. I couldn't figure out how to manage this switch so I didn't bother and sent it back.
