5 Port 2.5GB Ethernet Switch Unmanaged Network Switch | 5 x 2.5 Gigabit | 1 x 10G SFP+ | Multigig Switch 10-100-1000Mbps | 45G Bandwidth | Plug & Play | Fanless Metal Internet Switch

Works perfectly, exactly as you'd want and expect. No problem installing it or plugging in anything to it. It comes with its own power supply. It's fanless so it operates silently, and doesn't emit excessive heat. The performance of the 2.5G ports is great, no problems there. I don't have the ability to test the 10G SFP+ port so I can't vouch for it but I have no reason to believe it wouldn't perform well. I've been running this switch trouble-free for a few weeks now. It has allowed me to connect some devices to ethernet which were on wifi before. The networking on those devices is now much faster with lower latency than when I had them on wifi. I was initially skeptical to buy a brand other than the top brands in the market for networking hardware, but eventually I decided to try this switch since the price is almost half of what certain other brands are for the same performance and number of ports. I'm glad I decided to try this switch, because I really have no complaints with this. It works perfectly and I can't ask for more. If you're looking for a good quality, reliable and fast switch, there's no reason to spend more. Get this one.

I recently upgraded to fiber internet and wanted that extra speed! I bought this to get my 2.5gbs! Most switches dont have that capability and especially not at that price! I eneded up hard wiring my whole house and putting a few of these throughout the house in different rooms! None of them have been hot to the touch, you plug them in and they just work! I would recommend upgrading your wiring if your still using CAT5, but these are a must if you want the speed!

No issues with these. I haven't tried the SFP connection with optical. It would be ideal for daisychain more than one of these together. It does connect at 2.5Gbps and gives the rated speed. I didn't feel any heat concerns with it. Just plug and play. Your modem/router needs to support 2.5Gbps and ISP to support 2Gbps speeds or faster to see the results on speedtest with a 2Gbps plan for faster. Home use device to device on LAN you should see about 220MB a second file transfers depending on your device capabilities.

It does work, and is very cheap. You're not going to get the absolute maximum possible performance compared to a quality name brand switch that costs twice as much, but if you don't care about squeezing every last ounce of performance, this switch should do fine.

So Far so good. Feels solid, great form factor. Only "con" for me is the placement of the power adapter port. Speeds are in line with what I expected and I am using a crappy cat5e cable. Have an 8gb coming today. All in all would definitely recommend, not sure about longevity,but initial impressions count a lot for me, and I was impressed by the lack of drama.Some have had bad experiences, luckily that was not the case for me.
