We bought 15x CHEAP 2.5GbE switches and found the best including ones that had 10GbE (10Gbase-T / SFP+), hidden PoE features, and even two managed switches. This was a huge effort so you can have a Buyer's Guide.

Hi Patrick! Thanks for the continued great work in the space. Have you considered doing a video on a home router replacement setup? Something like the "Crazy Small" router unit, one of these 2.5gig switches, and an AP? The switch and internet plugged into the router, and the AP could be plugged into the switch so that all the local traffic is switched, and all the router has to do is get things to and from the internet.

Based on this video, I decided to purchase the Hasivo S1100-8GT and it has been working flawlessly for my needs. One thing that I *have* been having problems with is finding a good 2.5 Gb PCIe network card that 'just works'. I purchased several TP_-Link TX201 cards that said they 'work with Linux' but going to their website shows that they only support the Kernel "up to 5.17". It will be used in a backup NFS server running TrusNAS Scale.

Not sure if OpenWrt works on it yet, but I think probably? I used one of the SFP+ ports to connect the NAS using a $15 DAC, so cheap and low power (at least compared to an 10G ethernet transceiver).

The TEG-S350 has gone up in price. I bought it back in 2021 and only paid $125 for it. So far it's been a good switch, I mainly got it because my PC has a 2.5 port and my Asustor NAS has a 2.5 port so I wanted to be able to transfer stuff between them at the native speeds. I also got a USB-C 2.5Gbe adapter for my Macbook.

Amazon seem to sell the QNAP switches discounted every now and again. At least here in Europe. I bought the QNAP QSW-2104-2T (unmanaged 4x2.5Gbps RJ45 + 2x10Gbps RJ45) for around $135 at the start of 2023. That is basically the same as the tested TRENDnet TEG-S762 or the QNAP QSW-2104-2S-A (but with RJ45 instead of SFP+). Even though I don't have any 10GbE equipment at the moment it felt like a good investment for the future, and the 10Gbps ports are multiports so I can run them at 2.5Gbps as well. So right now I'm using it as a 6 port 2.5Gbps switch. :)

The Zyxel XGS1010-12 is also worth considering. Here in the UK it's only £10 more than the MG-105. It only has 2x 2.5GbE ports but it adds 2x 10GbE so could be very versatile in the home, for example if you have a server you want to connect at 10GbE but don't want the expense of a full 10Gb switch.
@ServeTheHomeVideo

We tried to limit to 2.5GbE as a minimum port speed. There are a bunch of switches with 1-2 2.5GbE ports, but with WiFi 6E and soon WiFi 7, folks are going to need at least 2.5GbE to keep up with WiFi.
@mikelovesbacon
@mikelovesbacon Год назад
@@ServeTheHomeVideo That's true, I just think for £10 more you're getting 25Gbps of throughput on fast ports vs 12.5Gbps on the MG-105. And that's not counting the extra 8Gbps you get from the other 8 ports it has. Sacrificing 1x 2.5Gb port to gain 2x 10Gb and 8x 1Gb could be worthwhile for a lot of use cases.

Netgear XS508M 8 Port Switch ,, bought this for $445 B&H now $481 it has 1,2.5,5,10Gbe , this was great for home lab combo 8 Port has Ethernet, or Use Fiber connection. I bought this for small business , put in 10Gbe for Workstations or 2.5Gbe for some Laptops, Unmanged only downside. Patrick can you review and tell us if you like it.

I have 5Gb from ATT, can you do a video on that? Id love some insight. I struggled to get the right equipment to utilize it. settled on some small mikrotik sfp+ switch, a specific mikrotik rj45 transceiver, and otherwise went 10Gb locally

Thanks so much for putting this video out. Have been trying to figure out how to upgrade to 2.5 and all the options out there. I really really wish there was as 12 port POE 2.5G for 200ish. I have an 8 port poe 1g switch now and want the upgrade plus extra ports but have no use for a really big switch and can't afford one. Is it not possible to make a fanless 12 port model like these? Is that why we don't see them much?

Broad question: Say I'm upgrading google fiber to 8GB and I want to get the most out of that on two workstations. If I were to buy a switch that had two 10G ports and four 2.5G ports, the cable from my google router would have to use one of those 10G ports as input right? Therefor I'd only have one more 10G for a single workstation? Would running my google router cable into the 2.5G ports bottle neck the rest of the hardwires that are connected to the 10G as outputs?

Interesting options, especially those managed chinese ones, but it'd be even better if you found cheap energy efficient 5+ 10Gbe ports devices that could work at 1/2.5/5/10 speeds on each port for best home environment adaptability. Or even better if there were mesh routers with built-in 5+ ports of similar quality/throughput.

Ok, I'm an old guy and pretty close to the dullest tool in the shed when it comes to this switch stuff. Here's my situation, and I'd appreciate some information on what to do. Recently I upgraded my internet to fiber 2 gigs, and I'd like to hard-wire the output of the modem/router to 3 other devices the rest can be via WI-FI. I have a Mac Studio with a 10 gig port, a Window PC with a 2.5 gig port, and a Netgear 6E router with a 2.5 gig port (like I said, the rest of the household goodies can get the WI-FI from the router). So correct me if I'm wrong, let's say I buy the QNAP QSW-1105-5T. Do I simply plug the modem/router from ISP into port 1, the Mac into port 2, Windows PC into port 3, and Netgear 6E router into port 4??? Or do I need a switch that is has all 10 gig ports. One more thing, NO AliExpress and I don't need POE.
@ServeTheHomeVideo
@ServeTheHomeVideo Год назад
So long as the as the ISP's router/firewall has a LAN side port then yes. Plug that into the switch and then everything else and you should be fine. The Port 1 will be the uplink to your router/ firewall from the ISP and then everything else on the switch, including clients connected to the connected AP's, will be on the same network. If you wanted something that can use the 10GbE port of the Mac Studio and potentially another 10GbE device, like a NAS, then you could get this QNAP one we reviewed www.servethehome.com/qnap-qsw-2104-2t-a-review-a-4x-2-5gbe-2x-10gbase-t-switch-option/

I've got a question about the TRENDnet TEG-S762, and also broadly about 10G ports. So I'm looking at upgrading Google Fiber to either 5GB or 8GB but for that particular switch he mentioned that it does not support 5GbaseT so does that mean if I were to have Google Fiber at 5GB and even if it were input and output through both of the 10G ports, it would be bottlenecked to 2.5G? and if 5GB internet is bottlenecked what about 8GB? Do 10G ports generally support slower networks than the port like 5GB or if the internet isn't 10G would it go down to 2.5G or the net best supported rate?

I'd love to see a review of TP-link TL-R5408PE-AC which is apparently a China-only router with 4 2.5G and 4 FE ports, POE af\at, 110w total budget, up to 30w per port, looks like a built-in omada controller (not sure, they just say "controller" and curiously do not mention Omada at all), fanless, and about 200 USD price. Wonder if it is really workable (people say you can use the Chinese-only interface via a translator like google translate), if there are any other pitfalls, cause it's really hard to find both 2.5G and POE in one box, with a decent power budget, and here it seems it's also a router\controller (whether it is omada-compatible is an open question though).
