MokerLink 5 Port 2.5G Ethernet Switch with 10G SFP, 5 x 2.5G Base-T Ports Compatible with 10/100/1000Mbps, Metal Unmanaged Fanless Network Switch

I replaced an aging NETGEAR 8-port PoE switch that had 2 ports that were being flaky and rebooting the switch with certain devices connected. Swapped for this MokerLink 8-port PoE switch and everything was completely transparent. Didn't need to do anything other than power it up and my cameras were connected again to the NVR. Uplinks to another MockerLink switch over DAC.

Inexpensive and works well. I had a tech support question that I submitted to the company via the amazon tech support link, and I was pleasantly surprised that MokerLink responded within a few hours with some suggestions that fixed my setup issue.

up graded my network to 2.5 and they seem to work well i gained about 150 meg of download speed

8 Port 2.5 Gigabit Managed Switch with 2x10G Ethernet Ports, 2x10G SFP+ Ports,1 Console Ports, Web/CLI L3 Managed, Rackmount Network SwitchI have to put the full name because the reviews im seeing is for more then one model.this brand of switch has a confusing manage UI and this switch fan is loud but so far its ok. I would recommend buying one of the cheaper manage switches of this brand.

Strong points:1. Has a 10Gig-E SFP+ uplink port (only one, but its there) to interconnect to 10Gig-E things (e.g. your NAS)2. All 8 other ports are POE and 2.5G -- and deliver on both.3. Has L2 management (can segregate on VLANs, specifically, which is the key for many people)Weak points:1. Web interface is basic http, no TLS (so don't let it be visible from outside at all!)2. No SNMP or similar off-browser monitoring capacity (at all.)3. No "names" for ports as with most switches.Provided you don't need monitoring and can protect the management IP from being hit from the outside (which isn't very hard) this is an excellent little switch that gets you 8 2.5G POE ports for things like WiFi APs (and can handle the VLAN requirements for segregated SSIDs, etc.) -- and it has a 10Gig-E SFP+ uplink port. Oh, and its also silent as it has no fan so its friendly in occupied spaces (such as your media center.)Note that while it appears to have holes for mounting brackets (e.g. for wall mounting) the brackets are NOT in the box. Just the switch, a power supply and a tiny little manual printed in 2pt type (really; the print is ridiculously small.)Its not "all that" like its (much more) expensive cousins that are rack-mountable and have higher port counts but if you're getting a few 2.5G devices and perhaps have one 10Gig SFP+ compatible device to talk to it all its a very nice piece of kit at a great price. Got a larger managed switch? Spend one port to interconnect it to your larger Gig-E for everything else and Bob's Your Uncle there too.Its very, very hard to argue against this for what you get at the asking price. Considering that a 24-port with 12 POE+ and two SFP+ uplinks is upwards of $500 and perhaps MUCH north of that (of course those come with much more in the way of SNMP monitoring, https security, some are L3 capable, etc.) the value proposition here is obvious.No idea on durability since I just got it but the box itself is metal rather than cheap plastic, it takes a standard 120V power cord at the rear, it absolutely hits the claimed performance numbers and works with both desktop 2.5G and WiFi APs that have a 2.5G POE interface connection. I like it.

I was upgrading my in-home network to 2.5G to go along with an internet speed upgrade, the new modem had a 2.5G port and my internet speed was 1.25G (someday to increase to 2G). Along with 2.5G ethernet on my PC and my Wi-Fi router, this switch is able to pump out maximum speed between devices.You will definitely want to enable "large frames" on your devices to get the most out of it if you are copying/streaming large files between devices on your network. With large frames enabled, I measured 2.48Gbit/s which is about as good as it gets!I got another (managed) version of this switch, and connected them via the 10G SFP+ port and it seems to work fine. Link speed on that port shows as 10G from the managed switch console. I cannot easily measure speed on that port with my current equipment, but everything appears to be working properly.

Would not establish connection to gig or 2.5 gig hosts. Sent it back and ordered a TrendNet that is working perfectly.,

Upgraded my home network to 10GB and my wireless to Wifi7 so I could get better file copy speeds. Needed a new switch then as well.This one works well. I got some SFP modules for 10GB connections, and they worked great.Fast. Noisy, but it's in my basement so I don't mind that. But keep it in mind if you are going to put it somewhere that the noise will be an issue.
