ZYXEL5-Port 2.5Gb MultiGig Ethernet Unmanaged Switch | 5 x 100/1G/2.5G Ports | Plug & Play | Metal Housing | Desktop or Wall-Mount | Ethernet Splitter MG-105

The media could not be loaded. It's a very basic managed switch. Strictly Web based. Very limited features but for home use it does enough. The cost makes it will worth the lack of features. It does run rather warm and the 1250 does have an overheating feature that will back the 10gb port down to 1g to help cool it off. The other models don't have that though from what I've read. I keep mine in a ventilated area so I haven't tested that feature. I haven't done any tests to verify the 10g speeds but several 1g transfers at the same time across the 10g port to another switch didn't have any issues.

I’m using this in an unmanaged home network. I’ve been upgrading the connections between my workstations and servers to 10G. This provides a really nice combination of ports in the office. Allows me to connect in a10G run to my main workstations, a other 10G run to my servers in the next room and plenty of 1G ports for connections to printers, my internet connection, and off to entertainment systems around the house. And the SFP port will come in handy for a future backup server I want to locate in a work shed on the property to provide a remote backup in case of disaster.I’m just using it in its default configuration. Have not tried connecting to its web server or modifying any settings as the default seems fine for what I need.Unlike others who said it seems to run really hot, the temperature doesn’t seem overly high compared to a couple 5 port 10G and 2.5G switches I have. I did put teller feet on it (about 3/8 inch) than the very low ones they provide in the box to provide a bit better air flow around the bottom. This send like it would be a good change for the manufactured to make. Also I’m not using quite all the ports currently (6 of 8 1G, 2 of 3 10G, and the SFP port is unused.I’ve only had it a couple days, but quite happy with the purchase so far. Seems like good value fir the cost.

Try and make sure you have some airflow around it, it may be fanless, but it probably could have used one, or at least used a larger chassis with some fins for heatsinking. It gets uncomfortably hot to the touch, not enough to damage anything, but I wouldn't want to have to pick it up bare handed without letting it cool down after unplugging. That being said, it does its job just fine, and gives me a 2.5G section of my network, hence the full 5 stars. Fanless switches do tend to run hot in my experience, even 1G ones, so I'd say that it is entirely as advertised, just proportionately more toasty.

I don’t think the auto negotiation works for this switch; I had to manually set my link speeds in pfsense to establish a working connection. Other than that, I have not had any issues out of it. I have not noticed any slowdowns I can link directly to the switch and have seen 2400 down mbps from my isp (2400 up) out of a 2500 connection

This switch runs HOT, like *really* hot. Even under a negligible load in a climate-cobtrolled space, it runs hot enough to cause pain when touching the case.Even worse, though, once it gets warm it either drops connection to everything attached or slows down to a unusable speed. When the ambient temperature gets around 80F or so, the switch basically becomes useless; start a file transfer, and it crashes and drops every port.Spend a little more and get something that actually works and won't burn your house down.

Super easy to setup using the web based interface. Completely future proof with its 3 multi-Gig ports and an 10G SFP+ port for fiber! This is a quality switch and comes with a 5 year limited lifetime warranty.

I modified mine and wall mounted, have not had a heat issue once, I ran fiber to a Media server and nice 10gb transfers. I static iped the switch and plan to utilize the vlan feature once I upgrade my router, was impressed as a test and called they're tech support and wow English speaking and was knowledgeable as far as the product, I only said I will need to route the packets with a vlan port from router and they acknowledged so they know their product. I'm not worried about the warranty for my minor modification. Definitely an inexpensive way to upgrade your network speed, Ideally I will hook a 10gb router in play in a few weeks then or look at another Zyxel product that has more fiber connections and make the whole network fiber backbone! Yes I know my mod isn't perfect, but good enough, you could also use heat sink compound and put a lot on the 10gb end of the aluminum heat sink to help. Dremel works good with steady hand. My day job is Network everything so I want small secure manageable network for home, I respect the geeks out there that want a rack in their basement and full blown, I'm just older now and like to do other things. I have all the same power with these little space saving devices as they do. The new TPLink BE24000 might be added.

Dead after only 10 months..

Provides gigabit connections throughout my home.

・ポイントや値引きクーポンを利用して割安に買えた。結果的にコスパはよかった。・購入前に、調べることが多かったがそれだけの価値はあった。・発熱するので密閉や高温になるところでの利用はお勧めできない。・L2機能の利用はしていないので宝の持ち腐れとなっている。設定できる人には試してもらいたい。・１０Gbps（RJ45）×３、１Gbps×８（RJ45）、１０Gbps(SFP＋）のスイッチでこの価格帯の商品が他になかった。

pls note of its limited functionality, didn’t have dynamic link aggregation that I need so returning it. Other then that, works ok.

Didn’t make it very long stopped working after a few hours of use and would no longer power on, tried a new power supply without any success.
