MokerLink 5 Port 2.5G Ethernet Switch with 10G SFP, 5 x 2.5G Base-T Ports Compatible with 10/100/1000Mbps, Metal Unmanaged Fanless Network Switch

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.

Inexpensive and works well. I had a tech support question that I submitted to the company via the amazon tech support link, and I was pleasantly surprised that MokerLink responded within a few hours with some suggestions that fixed my setup issue.

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.

This is good unmanaged switch with low power use for effordable network upgrade. enough ports and very stable. Only took a star of for average build quality and cheap feeling power adapter that comes with it. Its light and feels cheaply made.

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.

Recently I had Verizon Fios 2G internet service installed.The goal was to hook up to the 10g port of the router and max out the multigig service to my pc and other devices.The switch hooked up easily enough and everything seems to be connected. Got appx 1.8gb up and down.BUT the switch does something weird .. it causes some intermittent dropouts.. you wont notice it watching youtube (buffer catches up) but between some larger file uploads and gaming.. I experienced time outs and such and bogged my work down..Spent a day to diagnose it was the switch ....Replaced with a value priced tplink switch .. and no issues!I may have gotten a bad one but rather than take that chance .. bought another switch from a brand I recognized.

I replaced an aging NETGEAR 8-port PoE switch that had 2 ports that were being flaky and rebooting the switch with certain devices connected. Swapped for this MokerLink 8-port PoE switch and everything was completely transparent. Didn't need to do anything other than power it up and my cameras were connected again to the NVR. Uplinks to another MockerLink switch over DAC.

I just received this switch and managed to get internet working with Google fiber 2gb internet using only the fiber jack gglt210, 1 thing to note i don't have it fully operational but I did get internet working on my main computer, The sfp+ Port can do 2500gbe optical once you set up port 11 or 12, no need for the Google Fiber Multi-Gig Router in bridge mode. only thing I still need to figure out is networking language I know a little but this is full on networking setup, I just fiddled around until I was able to get internet on my main computer. Routing on a switch in a huge learning curve for me. I actually don't know how I got it working but will hopefully get it done. Don't want this ugly Google Fiber Multi-Gig Router in my setup. everything is Black except for this google fiber box in my entertainment center. if anyone know how to use Mokerlink GUI and properly set this up let me know.
