6 Ports Ethernet Switch, 4X 2.5G RJ45 Ports and 2X 10G SFP Port, 60Gbps Switching Capacity, Ideal for 2.5G NAS, 4K Video, Gaming PC, 2.5G Server, 2.5G WiFi 6 AP, 2.5G PCIe Adapter 2.5G Gigabit

I recently set up the 8 Ports Ethernet Switch with 8 2.5G RJ45 Ports and 1 10G SFP Port, and I have to say, I’m pretty impressed. The installation was straightforward, and I appreciated the clear labeling on the ports, which made it easy to connect everything without any confusion.My home network is much more robust now. The 2.5G speeds have noticeably improved my internet experience, especially when streaming and gaming. I previously had issues with lag, but since using this switch, everything runs smoothly, even with multiple devices connected. The SFP port is a nice touch for future upgrades if I ever need faster connectivity options.Build quality feels solid, and it runs quietly, which is a plus for me since my setup is in a shared space. Overall, I think this switch offers great performance for the price, and I’d definitely recommend it to anyone looking to upgrade their home or small office network. It’s an easy way to enhance your network without breaking the bank!

Built like a tank, with a fully metal casing and solid, substantial feel. I get the full 2.5Gbps (2.45Gbps real-world). For my use as a dumb switch with no VLAN turned on and connected to my 2.5Gbps router, set-up was very easy and it works perfectly. It's cool to the touch even though it's silently fanless. Only one, tiny niggle: the docs have the port status lights reversed. Green (link) is on the right, and yellow (2.5Gbps) is on the left of each RJ-45. The product listing indicates that this item is frequently returned, but I'm guessing many buyers don't really understand its purpose.

I have this hooked up in my office so I can transfer between my 2024 MacBook Pro (2.5Gbit via Caldigit TS4 Plus, 2022 Mac mini (with 2.5Gbit USB adapter), and my PC (MSI X870E Carbon with 2.5Gbit port).This was as easy as it gets to set up. Plug in to wall, plug devices into switch - done. That's all there is to it. Speed is in line with what you'd expect for 2.5Gbit with file transfers, and no issue using other non-2.5Gbit devices at gigabit speed on it. Excellent! Only minor quibble is it would be nice to see LEDs on the front to determine connection speed, but this is a minor complaint.5 out of 5. As good as it gets.

I haven't seen any improvement from my old switch.

So far working perfectly... Only had it a few days. I'll update if anything goes wrong.

The Goalake 8 port 2.5G Ethernet switch has 8 RJ-45 ports and 1 10G SFP port. I have not used the 10G port, but I am using all 8 of the 2.5G ports on this Ethernet switch, and am very impressed with the ease of use, setup, and low heat output, with no discernible fan noise. This switch is quiet and does the job. Great for anyone who wants to connect many RJ-45 Ethernet devices with any combination of 2.5 Gbps, 1 Gbps, or 100 Mbps Ethernet speeds.

This worked great for 2.5 months, then all of a sudden, only two ports on the switch were working. I had five ports filled without using the SFP. So I bought a SFP connector to see if that helped, using that as my uplink. It worked for 2 days, then it reverted to where some ports worked and some did not. I would not buy this brand again.

It’s an unmanaged switch that is fast and reliable! Best price I found on this type! Works perfectly!
