TP-Link Omada SG3218XP-M2 | 2.5G Multi-Gig 16-Port PoE Switch, 2 x 10GE SFP+ Ports, 8 PoE+ Ports @ 240W | Intelligent Managed L2+ | Omada SDN Support | Static Routing, IGMP Snooping,

As you of now, no issues whatsoever. Only complaint I have is the fan its a bit loud even with light load. Will probably replace it soon with a noctua fan. But overall I am happy with the 2.5gb connections

Good switch functions. The only issue is the noise of the cooling fans.

SG3218XP-M2 - a very nice 16 port 2.5GbE with 2 SFP+ ports. The fans are a bit noisy when the switch is starting up. Nice switch to upgrade my home network backbone for servers/storage. Can configure the switch via GUI or can use the controller software/hardware. The mounting brackets are also very nice. You can rotate them, so you can mount to the wall or under a desk. Please note, only the first 8 ports have PoE.

no subscription or management appliance needed. not loud, not bright, not flimsy. works fine for months on end in a back pantry running a couple poe devices, and can do basic things like vlan and link-aggregate. no nat/firewall but thats a plus for my use. if you want there is an app, you can see link states and graphs and intuitively configure each port seems very fast. i have a poe wifi-6 ap (w/ guest & private networks, using the same vlans as wired ports), a poe camera, a couple fast ethernet connections and some workstations & tvs, a printer. this thing never seems to need reboot or any other grief. would recommend for home / office or retail

I got this because it was the only thing available that fit my criteria for my home backbone switch. I needed a total of 16 2.5Gbps ports, I needed at least 4 of those to be PoE, and I wanted to have SPF+ 10Gbps for uplink to be a little future proof. I could not find anything else that met those criteria. This switch is working great and does what I'd hoped. The management options are more than I as an average home user needs, but they are out of the way in a default sense. Had to do a firmware upgrade out of the box, not surprising, but not the most intuitive, since it does not automatically load the new firmware, but rather "stages" it and you have to configure it to switch. I'm sure that is "enterprise grade", but again, overkill at home. I will say that the noise is terrible. I had this switch in a closed cabinet, in a room with the door closed, and you can hear the fans through the walls. It was ridiculous. However, I followed the excellent advice from "WR Parker" (in the reviews) to swap in 20mm Noctua fans - it was easy and worked immediately. The Noctua fans are so quiet I had to double check to ensure the device was on.
