Had me up and working in under a minute.

- 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.



Sample and easy

All i had to do was plug it in and connect in via ethernet to my (xfinity) router. All of my devices automatically connect to the internet and there was no configuration involved whatsoever.

Small footprint (7" deep) and comes with rack mounting "ears" to use with 19" rack. Uses a standard power plug, like the one for a desktop computer (supplied in the box) and works quite well. Does not power unused ports even if a cable is attached.

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.

Nice looking switch. Solid build that feels very sturdy. Small, and makes very good utilization of it's space. Lights all work. Installation was easy, but you will want to follow the instructions in order to know how to connect to it with the software. -see other thoughts on install. Connect an ethernet cable from your router or model to the switch. (this takes up one port, so if you need more than 4 ports you should get the larger switch) The software should find your new switch. You will want to connect to it and configure the IP to one you wish to use, or one within your current gateway address. Once you login to the switch with the default credentials you can access many features that will give you some advanced functionality. You can set this to DHCP, You can enable / disable ports, set custom configurations, Port Mirror, setup a Vlan, Port based QOS, bandwidth controls as well. I set this up with some port based QOS and it seemed to work great. So far very happy with this switch.


No setup, just connect all device and ... that`s it!

I am a network admin and needed a smaller switch for my home network. So far this one has been amazing. No problems.


-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.

Solid construction Has features a cheaper switch doesn't have

Plug and chug, 16 ports is plenty for home use. Measured speeds of ~850mbps with a cat5e cable. Standard power cable, built like a brick.


Low cost "managed" switch Port mirroring which means an easy way to monitor traffice with Wireshark QOS based on port, perfect for my VOIP adapter
