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

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!

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.

Excellent little switch. Plug-and-play, runs cool and silent, and all ports negotiate at 2.5GbE without fuss. The build feels sturdy, and it’s been completely stable with multiple devices. Great value for a 2.5G unmanaged switch.

Works well and is a good price when i purchased. The two high speed connectors are great for things like NAS where speed is important. You will need to buy good cables

Gets hot. Works great

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.

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

Keeps my local network running fast.

Ho preso questo switch per ampliare le capacità di rete avendo una rete di casa tutta cablata, dubbioso per la brand, ma viste altre recensioni positive mi sono convinto, confermo che è un ottimo apparecchio, fa egregiamente il suo lavoro, di ottima fattura solida. Ho fatto dei test con tool iperf con ottimi risultati, tra due pc, entrambi, con scheda di rete 2.5 dedicata su tratta di circa 20 mt con risultati costanti sui 2.33 Gb\s (cavi Cat 7). Consigliato rispetta le promesse.

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.
