10-Port Multi-Gig Web Smart Switch, TEG-3102WS, 8 x 2.5GBASE-T Ports, 2 x 10G SFP+ Slots, Ethernet Splitter, Metal Housing, NDAA & TAA Compliant, Lifetime Protection, Black

I needed something that supported 2.5 Gbps with a 10 Gbps Uplink (Fiber preferred) and this product meets those goals at a decent price point. I got this switch for my 3d printers to keep up with the streaming camera's and it handles the workload well. I was however impressed with the Management WebUI, its snappy and responsive. I have worked with other "web browser managed" switches in the past and this one seems to work decently. It did take me a minute to figure out how they tagged / untagged vlans per port. It isn't the "best" but still usable and functional. For me, its going to be more of a Set it and Forget it, so though it was a little tedious to set it up the fist time, I really only need to do it once and I am good to go. I really love that it has two 10 G SFP+ ports to match the possible throughput of the switch, allowing for full bandwidth on all the copper ports.

I had not used TRENDnet products prior to buying this switch, but I’m overall pleased with the quality. Easy to use, priced appropriately and most importantly, has excellent switching performance. It also runs cool and is just so much better than similar offerings I have tested this year.

Overall the switch is working great and gave me what I needed for a residential setup that has multiple VLANs (IoT, Business, and personal). The one complaint that I have is it is missing a feature that TP-Link's managed switch has that allows better MAC address VLAN'ing. This one does do this to an extent but the assignment has to belong to a specific port which prevents me from "roaming" on the device and would effectively force me to upgrade my Access Points and have them address this shortcoming to achieve this. The other managed switch from the other company allows me to do this successfully and not limit the MAC address to VLAN reservation to a single port and if there was a 2.5G version of this switch that was in the 4 digit price range, I would get it. Fortunately for my case, the computers that need to be set do not roam and works for what I need. I have not had a chance to test the SFP ports at 10G but have the modules on order. If you need a managed switch that is capable of speeds above 1Gbps this is really the only one out there right now that has more than 1-2 ports that doesn't cost you an arm and a leg. It has a lot of features you would expect from a managed switch. If you just need a plug and play switch there are a lot of other options out there that have a lower price tag than this.

For the price point, this TEG-3102WS managed switch is very attractive. Though, being managed, that means that customers will wish to support and/or use VLANs. The problem is that TRENDnet has block all VLAN tagging out of the box. Even worse, the documentation is terrible and does not explain how to configure VLANs very well at all. I only figured it out after hours of scouring the web looking for others who have explained the fix. Tagged and Untagged: TRENDNets language is confusing as to what "Tagged" and "Untagged" mean. Quite simply, "Tagged" means that the port will pass VLAN tagged traffic and "Untagged" will strip the VLAN tag. The default network is setup such that all ports are "Untagged", which is why all VLAN traffic is stripped by default. Basics: A VLAN client requires a minimum of two ports be configured: one for the Trunk and a second for the client. See below. Trunks: If you wish to setup an Unfiltered "Trunk" port that will pass VLAN traffic, you must first configure the VLANs in the "VLAN Settings/802.1Q" screen. Define each VLAN port as "Tagged" to pass the VLAN traffic. VLAN Clients: If you wish to setup a client active on a VLAN, you must first define the VLAN and then define the port on the VLAN which should be "Untagged" to strip the tags. Once you get past the above configuration challenges, the switch does work well. Though, again, the software is not industry standard and the documentation is terrible. Though, being $300 less than the Ubiquiti, the price/value still makes this worth it.

Previously I use a similar Netgear switch but it had only 1Gb ports and only 2 copper 10G ports. Ideally I would like 1 copper and one SFP+, but if I had to pick two SFP+ is better bec it's easier to convert one SFP+ to copper with a transceiver than the other way around. (You would think they are equivalent, but going in the other direction doesn't always work bec some appliances do not work with copper transceivers and then you need to insert a media converter!). So all that plus basic VLAN functionality at a great price. The only down side is -- for a partially managed switch, it takes forever to boot. Around 70-80 seconds. The netgear it replaces boots in under 3 seconds. Mikrotik switches running SwOS boot in under 10 seconds. But overall, I will likely pick up another one in the coming months as I push 2.5G upgrades through more of my network.

Works great, easy setup with dual 5g ports on my NAS. The link aggregation and LACP worked perfectly. With the 2.5g ports on my computers I am now bumping into the NAS hdd performance limits with multiple computers hitting it rather than network limits. Guess I need to upgrade the NAS hdd or get ssd caching for it now. I connected two of these with a short 10g cable and that worked very well.

This TEG-3102WS switch was in service for about 8 months when it died. All LEDs dark, no link to any attached computer, no access to the web GUI. Unlikey to be a power problem. The unit is powered through a SmartUPS 1500VA UPS, all other equipment behaving normally, the switch's wall wart outputs the correct voltage, etc. At the time, this appeared to be the best option for a fanless 8-port 2.5 GbE switch that could do VLAN and trunking. While it worked, I had no problems with it. I was planning on getting a second one if the first one proved reliable. This is my first TrendNET switch. I'll update this review with feedback on how the warranty replacement process goes.

I've been looking for the perfect, fan-less, desktop switch that supported 10Gb SFP+ modules and 2.5GBASE-T Ports for a while and (so far) this TRENDnet switch ticks all the boxes. I originally tried a QNAP switch which was a terrible experience -- it had issues with my Intel SFP+ transceivers and exhibited packet loss and low throughput. Contrary to the QNAP switch, this switch "just worked" from the start. Pros: * No issues with my 10Gbe SFP+ transceivers to the router using 850nm OM4 fiber * Quiet, no fans * No packet loss but I have yet to test full 10Gb wire speed * Arrived with the latest firmware version * Impressive set of managed switch features that you would normally find on enterprise rack switches * Decent management via HTTPS Web UI & SSH support * Packaging includes rack mount ears in case you want to install into a cabinet Cons: * This is more of a nit-pick but I wish the web UI would show the internal temperature for the switch So far this switch has been solid.

Good value for money

Die Switche funktionieren wie sie sollen, alles toll, aber die Lüfter sind so unglaublich Laut (und das ohne wirklichen Grund), daß die Switche in einem Home-Office Umfeld absolut unbrauchbar sind. Sie sind so laut, daß man wenn man sie im Keller installiert hat die Kellertür zumachen muß, damit einem der Switch im Wohnzimmer im EG nicht die ganze Zeit stört. Leider für mich unbrauchbar für meinen Zweck. Man braucht mindestens einen Serverraum und einen Etagenverteilerraum in dem der Switch dann Schallisoliert laufen kann.

Eigentlich wollte ich mein Netzwerk auf 2.5GbE umstellen und bestellte diesen 24 port Managed Switch, der vom Preis-Leistungs-verhältnis stimmte. Da auch der vorherige Gigabit Switch managed war, dachte ich, daß ich die Einrichtung auch bei dem Neuen hinbekomme. Leider erwies sich das als Fehler. Es fing schon damit an, die Login IP so anzumelden, daß ich mich über IP Breite meines DHCP Servers/Router einloggen konnte. Es gibt zwar einen Einrichtungs-wizard, aber der half am Ende auch nicht wirklich. Das Endresultat war, daß die Verbindungen unentwegt abbrachen, und ich keine adequate Zuteilung der Bandbreite konfigurieren konnte. Ich bin kein IT Admin, doch solche Kenntnisse sind für diesen Switch erforderlich. Am Ende habe ich mir einen 4-port + 2xSFP+ unmanaged QNAP Switch gekauft (QNAP QSW-2104-2S), der tatsächlich Plug-and-Play und anstandslos einige wenige Devices mit höherer Bandbreite versorgt, ohne mit dem 'alten' Gigabit port in Konflikte zu geraten.

¡Buen producto!!!, interfase muy intuitiva y completa, funciona perfectamente, llevo un mes sin problemas; sin embargo, he notado que se calienta muchooo!! (50-60 centígrados), compre dos disipadores de aluminio de 10 cm c/u, los pegue encima como se ve en la foto y santo remedio. Las entradas sfp+ funcionan con adaptadores de 10 GB de fibra y cobre, los tengo conectados a un servidor vmware y a una mac mini.
