7 Port 2.5G Unmanaged Ethernet Switch, 5 x 2.5G Base-T Ports, 2 x 10G SFP, Compatible with 100/1000/2500Mbps, VLAN, Fanless, Desktop/Wall Mount YuanLey 2.5Gbe Network Switch for Wireless AP, NAS, PC

I upgraded to Frontier's 2Gbps plan, but my Wi-Fi speeds were only around 300–800 Mbps. Even when I hardwired my Mac mini M2 directly to the Frontier gateway/router in the closet, the speed maxed out at 800–900 Mbps. I soon realized that the built-in Ethernet port on the Mac mini is limited to 1Gbps. To get the full speed I am paying for, I purchased this YuanLey 2.5G Switch along with a USB-C to 2.5Gbps Ethernet Adapter and Cat.7 cables. The results are phenomenal! Both my 2019 MacBook Pro and Mac mini M2 now consistently hit amazing speeds between 1900 and 2300 Mbps. Installation & Troubleshooting Tips: 1. Setup: Connect the main Ethernet cable coming from your Frontier gateway into Port 1 of the switch. Then, connect your computers to Ports 2 through 5 using the 2.5G adapters. 2. Initial Connection issue: When you connect everything for the first time, it might not recognize the network right away. If this happens, simply reboot your computer, and it should connect perfectly. 3. Disconnection issues (Adapter Compatibility): If you experience intermittent disconnections, it is likely an issue with the USB Ethernet adapter. I actually had to return my first set of adapters due to this issue. After buying a different, high-quality 2.5G adapter, the connection became rock solid. If it keeps disconnecting, try swapping the adapter. The switch is completely silent (fanless) and stays cool. Highly recommended for anyone looking to build a budget-friendly 2.5G home network!

Seems to be a solid switch with a metal case. Setup was easy - I was literally up and running in 2 minutes. 2.5GB ports took slightly longer to negotiate than 1GB ports but all ports negotiated to the correct speed/duplex within a few seconds. I do not have any 10GB devices to test the SFP+ ports. Traffic seems to be flowing properly with no errors detected. Being significantly less expensive than competing products, I'll have to wait and see how it withstands the test of time but my initial experience and impressions have been excellent.

Good cheap switch. Doesn’t have stp protection so loops can form and clog the switch. I used this as a 2.5g media converter for my incoming fiber internet connection. The included 12v power supply is ok. I used a usb c trigger to power it with no problems. Also runs 10g base t spf with no issues just gets hot as its fan less

Performs well, no issues so far. Solidly built, does not run hot on rack shelf. That's all I was hoping for, and this unit delivered.

Review for is for the [sic] "6 Port 2.5G Umanaged Ethernet Switch, 4 x 2.5G Base-T Ports, 2 x 10G SFP" variant. I purchased this to replace a SFP+ media converter while providing a few extra 2.5G ports. While it worked fine initially, including speed tests showing full ISP bandwidth (2Gbit) over both 2.5G and 10G ports, after about 4 days it stopped passing most traffic, only allowing DNS and ICMP (just enough to ping successfully), but no other web traffic. Restarts and trying other transceivers (3Com, Ipolex, 10Gtek, and a few others) did not help. All my transceivers work fine in my other equipment (two Mikrotik switches and the 10Gtek media converter), as does my ISP gateway and other switches. When I put my 10Gtek media convertor back in place everything functions again without even rebooting a single machine. One of the 2.5G ports was connected to one of my Ubuntu machines that runs nightly Github actions that shows it failed in the middle of the night. No network configuration changes could have been made at that time to cause problems. The problem affected all ports and all of my computers, both Windows and Linux. Given it initially worked but failed after a few days I'm concerned the manufacturing quality is poor and would not feel confident a replacement would be reliable over time. This is a very odd failure mode for an unmanaged switch. There's nothing to configure and no other network configuration changes occurred when it failed since it happened in the middle of the night. This was used in a climate controlled environment (my home) at all times with all other networking components in provably working condition.

The switch is rock solid so far! Only one LAN in so far but I think this is the real deal!

I have purchased several of these. They work! Matching 10G to 10G with a side of 2.5.

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.

Dont know whats going on, just plugged this in and am getting a flashing power light. No cables connecting to ports who any lights, cant get a connection from any devices. Is this blown, a dud?

Funktioniert wunderbar, wir nutzen ihn als zentralen Switch in unserer Wohnung. 2.5G läuft, LEDs sehr dezent. Für den Preis ein tolles Gerät
