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

Having just upgraded my Internet to 2 Gb, I needed faster switches. The switch checks all the boxes.It has the right amount of ports, and I’m getting the speed that I expect. Build quality is fine. Set up was very easy and functionality is perfect.Excellent value for money

How does one review an unmanaged switch? It works, it routes 2.5gbps between machines at full speed. It's small and easy to set up, and inexpensive, so it's great :)

Total game changer! My internet company upgraded me to 2.5Gb speed, gave me a new router, but my computer was not able to manage that speed with the hardware it had. I upgraded my Cat cables to Cat8, got this powered 2.5Gb switch and also got a 5Gb PCIe board for my computer. Now I'm able to take advantage of the upgraded baud rate!The switch was virtually plug & play, but I did download the most updated driver for it. I worked perfect right out of the box.

Works and price is good

Does what it advertised

I purchased four of these RealHD eight port managed 10gbps switches.The build quality seems good (heavy metal enclosure, RJ45 ports and other fit and finish good.)The management through the web page is somewhat basic, but does what it needs to.I'm getting great throughput and no problems with a large number of different interfaces connected to them auto negotiating appropriately.The power cable is harder to get seated in the IEC socket on the back than a lot of other equipment and the cord is shorter than I needed for a couple of them but both were minor issues.Of the four switches, I did have one that would lose its config when powered down. I contacted support (through cctvsupply, inc, which surprised me originally as amazon mentions it as the RealHD store.)They called back quickly and shipped a replacement out very quickly with a label to return the switch with the problem.Excellent support. Five stars for the support!

I purchased this switch to take advantage of 2.5gb speeds on existing cat5e cabling. Plugged it in, hooked up the ethernet and everything worked great. Fast forward a few days to when I fire up a game on my computer and start experiencing significant lag and ping spikes thinking it had something to do with my router settings. I opened up the game on another device on the same network only to have it run completely fine, so I began focusing on my computer and trying different ethernet adapters and changing system settings with no luck. I finally realized that I hadn’t tested the connection from the ethernet jack to the switch and used an ethernet adapter to plug into the switch using a laptop which showed the same issues as my PC. I bypassed the switch and hooked up directly to the wall jack and everything worked perfectly. Little did I know the source of all my problems was this little unmanaged switch that I didn’t think could mess with my connection this badly. I ended up bringing out my old gigabit switch to test and plugged in all my devices, and everything started working again like before. I learned my lesson on cheaping out on networking gear and got myself another 2.5gb switch from a reputable company and have faced zero issues with that one so far. You’re better off spending an extra $30 or $40 on something that won’t randomly fail on you.

Works just fine. Cool to touch. LAN is much smoother. Plug and play. Recommend replacing your old cat 5 & 6 cables with shielded, cat 8's. You won't regret it.
