In Switches

Well constructed, high quality components, low power use, runs cool, is reliable, and fast. I had a bad experience with tp-link in the past, but this really changed my mind about it. The unit is sturdy and solid on the outside, and it runs as well as it is built. I would say this is as good as or better than similar netgear or dlink swithes.

Easy to connect and works great with no effect on download/upload speeds.

The MS305 (pay attention to the model number when purchasing) is a fine addition to a home network, especially with moving moderately large amounts of data between devices (pictures, streaming, archives) internally or via the Internet.

When I got this, I just feel in love with this. Here's why: * 4-port POE for a switch is great for a switch this size. * 8 ports of a managed switch that's nice and compact. * 15kb jumbo frames is a huge plus. * Web based GUI is an added plus. * Heat dissipation is not a problem at all - even with 4 POE running. * The anti-Loop or spanning tree is very nice feature, but almost all have this feature, but not at this price point.

Sturdy, no issues with multiple devices attached.

Fast performance and PoE+/++ out of the box! Small footprint and overall a performance beast for my network

Nice solid build great speeds. Ran this with four ports populated in my computer shop ran speed tests on two computers at a time a small drop from running one then two but almost unnoticeable. I had this hooked up to two desktops and a laptop and ran file sharing on my network on all three at the same time. and it didn't miss a beat. This unit has the IGMP snooping on board which is a nice option. Quote :IGMP snooping allows a switch to only forward multicast traffic to the links that have solicited them. Essentially, IGMP snooping is a layer 2 optimization for the layer 3 IGMP. IGMP snooping takes place internally on switches and is not a protocol feature. Snooping is therefore especially useful for bandwidth-intensive IP multicast applications such as IPTV. Snooping is a general way for Layer 2 devices, such as Juniper Networks MX Series Ethernet Services Routers, to implement a series of procedures to “snoop” at the Layer 3 packet content to determine which actions are to be taken to process or forward a frame. More specific forms of snooping, such as Internet Group Membership Protocol (IGMP ) snooping or Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM) snooping, are used with multicast. Layer 2 devices (LAN switches or bridges) handle multicast packets and the frames that contain them much in the same way the Layer 3 devices (routers) handle broadcasts. So, a Layer 2 switch processes an arriving frame having a multicast destination media access control (MAC) address by forwarding a copy of the packet (frame) onto each of the other network interfaces of the switch that are in a forwarding state. However, this approach (sending multicast frames everywhere the device can) is not the most efficient use of network bandwidth, particularly for IPTV applications. Quote:IGMP snooping functions by “snooping” at the IGMP packets received by the switch interfaces and building a multicast database similar to that a multicast router builds in a Layer 3 network. Using this database, the switch can forward multicast traffic only onto downstream interfaces with interested receivers, and this technique allows more efficient use of network bandwidth. End Quote As mentioned before all five of the ports and in the front of the unit which for some people could be a problem. but by the standpoint of being to see the activity lights and notice a problem the layout makes sense. The unit is cool to the touch. Its a nice little switch will be a very handy add on to my computer repair shop.

Nice switch with 10G copper and SFP slots. If you are in the OMADA ecosystem already this is a good choice for an area with low number of connections.

Verry small Feel durable Metallic

40 POE+ and 8 POE++ ports 4 10Gib SPF+ ports Layer 3 features Quiet fans

-Whisper quite -Many Features -Web GUI or phone app to manage it -You have to know what your doing or at least read the manual.

- Full 2.5gbps speed on all ports! - It does the job without any compromise. I've saturated the 2.5gb ports many times and it performs well.

Although I've only had this for a couple days, I can report setup was a breeze. It does take a bit to understand things are defined, but if you read through the manual, the information is there, if terse. Once you get the hang of it, VLANs using /q are a easy to define. Haven't dug into qos, link aggregation or mirroring, but the setup seems simple enough. They are just not part of my use case. At this price point there is no competition. Except perhaps m*krotik.

Small, easy to hide and put out of sight. Metal case is durable. Extremely easy plug and play setup. Supports 1000 Mbps. Energy Efficient.
