6 Port 2.5G Umanaged Ethernet Switch, 4 x 2.5G Base-T Ports, 2 x 10G SFP, Compatible with 100/1000/2500Mbps, VLAN, Metal Fanless, Wall Mount, YuanLey 2.5Gbe Network Switch for Wireless AP, NAS, PC

I’m using the YuanLey YS25-0402, the model with 4× 2.5Gb ports and 2× 10Gb SFP+ uplinks, and I paired it with FlexOptic 10G BiDi LC transceivers programmed to MSA/Generic so any switch can use them. The setup worked instantly and far better than I expected. ✔️ 10Gb Optics Work Perfectly The moment I inserted the FlexOptic BiDi modules, the switch locked in at 10,000 Mbps full-duplex with zero problems. No vendor lock, no config, no negotiation issues — literally plug-and-play. The link is: Fully stable No flapping or drops No packet errors Runs cool Works flawlessly across floors For a budget unmanaged switch, the behaviour is honestly impressive. ✔️ Using It as a Home Fibre Backbone My setup uses a 60m run of bend-insensitive LC-UPC fibre to link my ground floor to my third floor. Ground Floor → Third Floor (10Gb BiDi Fibre): SFP+ Port 1 → FlexOptic BiDi (MSA/Generic) Single-strand fibre (BiDi saves one core) SFP+ Port 1 on the second switch → matching FlexOptic module Solid 10Gb link end-to-end On the third floor I feed: My PC via 2.5Gb PCIe My ASUS TUF-AX3000 V2 in AP mode (full 2.5Gb backhaul) Even with heavy transfers, the 10Gb backbone stays completely stable. ✔️ Real-World Performance Fibre backbone: 10Gb stable with <1ms latency PC gets full 2.5Gb AP delivers 900–1200 Mbps WiFi 6 in the same room No bottlenecks, no slowdowns The second SFP+ port also leaves room for upgrades (NAS, another floor, 10Gb server, etc.). ✔️ Final Verdict The YuanLey YS25-0402 + FlexOptic 10G BiDi LC (MSA/Generic) combo is honestly one of the best affordable multi-gig solutions you can build. You get: A real 10Gb optical backbone 2.5Gb multi-gig on each floor Full stability Universal optic compatibility Silent, cool, and completely plug-and-play For the price, the performance is on par with switches that cost 3× more. Highly recommended.

These Chinese brand 2.5Gb switches (all of which use Realtek 2.5Gb switch chips) are excellent. While not the very fastest in benchmarks (see: ServeTheHome), they are consistent and almost linespeed even with all ports fully loaded. They are solidly built, with a nice feeling metal casing that's painted very evenly. Connectivity is spot on, and most variants including this one incorporate one or two 10Gb SFP+. The mixed mode connectivity means I have two of them uplinked together with single mode fibre (BiDi). Mounting was easy - I wall mounted one and rack mounted the other with the (sturdy) included rack ears. Setup is plug and play, as these are L2 unmanaged switches. Even with PoE and SFP+ they run cold, no issues with functionality under load at all. Best value for money 2.5Gb switches on the market, in my opinion!

This is a great little switch. Easy to set up VLANs. Just works and a great price for what you get.

I have upgraded my internet to 2GBPS. My router only has 1 x 10G output, so this little switch allows all of my wired network computers to receive the full internet speed. I have my lan extending through the house and then to 5G breakout points. One thing to note is this is an unmanaged switch. I have found that sometimes when I need to restart my router I must also reset this switch in the process.

For those that need or just want a configurable switch this works well and I’ve had no problems rubbing my internal network at 2.5Gb Works well - has the latest software and is easy to configure - at the price it’s good value and don’t get hot even though there’s no fan but the metal case sees to that

What an excellent unmanaged switch for home, I bought this especially to allow fast communication from my computer to my NAS which are in seperate areas, normally with older switches you'll get 1GB max speed, this switch allows for conection to my 5GB computer connection to my NAS 2 x 2.5GB connection, it really is great for backing up to the NAS at high speeds. It's easy to use and setup and it's been working very well since I bought it Yashima

I really wanted to like this switch. On paper, the YuanLey 2.5GbE switch (YS25-0502 in my case) seems like a great value, metal housing, silent operation, 2.5G speeds across all ports. But after a week or so of real-world use, it started showing serious issues. Devices connected through the switch started experiencing random packet loss, high latency, and noticeable lag — even when just browsing the web or doing local file transfers. I ran flood pings between two PCs connected via the switch and saw latency spikes of over 13 seconds, 4% packet loss, and wild jitter on what should have been a rock-solid wired LAN. When I removed the switch and connected the devices to my old 1gb TP Link switch, everything worked flawlessly again. It seems the switch either overheats under load, has power regulation issues, or suffers from unstable internal hardware, I can’t say for sure. But if you're relying on stable performance for DNS, gaming, or local services (like Pi-hole, AdGuard, or file sharing), this switch might let you down. I was 50/50 on if I should contact the manufacturer for a replacement but after these issues in such a short time I decided it was too much risk, so have returned to amazon for a refund. Sometimes things are just too good to be true and in this instance buying cheap was not worth it.

Great for my nas got everything running at 2.5

Bell Aliant Users - Finally a Device that Syncs at the 2.5G your GPRON requires. It was either this Device or a Ubiquiti Switch for $700 - With Amazon's amazing return program, I decided to give it a shot. Received it in two days, Plugged the SFP into the SFP Port, and the Cat6 into the RJ45 jacks from my UDM SE to this Device, told the UDM to VLAN tag 35 on the 2.5G WAN port and It Immediately connected, and started Syncing at 2.5 GB - Amazing! - I Spent years looking for a Device that could do this for under $500, and I Finally found it. No more 800 Mbps speed tests, now im getting 1.2GB From my UDM SE on Download, and 940 Mbps on Upload. Additionally, this Device does not get Hot unlike some of the other Media Converters on the Market. After a Solid Week of Internet Traffic, with no downtime - It's still cool to the Touch! - Now let's hope this Switch lasts for years to come! Very Satisfied, and you will be too! - I will be Recommending this device to all my networking friends/people who want to free themself from the HH3000 with Bell

Switch is prijs kwaliteit gezien wel heel goed. Ben er blij mee heb alleen nog niet de 10gb uit kunnen proberen. Heb het op mijn nas aangesloten en top.

I have one that is working great, and it's one that is branched in my mess of wiring, full file transfer speeds. I am also using the SPF connection with a cheap 10G SFP+ Copper Cable, SFP+ DAC, to connect from one switch to another.

Funciona muy bien para el objetivo de acceder a SFPs de 10G por el interfaz del conector vía conexiones ethernet de menos de 10G como las de un PC. Tamaño compacto y buen precio.

Product as advertised. Timely arrival, easy install. Got 802.1Q VLAN to support 3 VLANs on 6 Untagged ports, 2 tagged ports carrying all VLANs. Stable for over 6 days. Speed and performance will improve as I build a fully 2.5G capable network.
