SODOLA 24 Port 2.5Gb Switch,Web Managed ,24x2.5G Base-T Ports, 2x10G SFP+

This switch is a steal for the price and amount of ports you get! Branded switches are charging $200 or more and some of them even have less ports! I'm getting the full 2.5G bandwidth while having all 8-ports populated as well as the SFP+ 10G port. It also runs much cooler than my 10G MikroTik switch. The small form factor makes it very easy for me to place this on my cramped set up. For reliability, only time can tell. So far everything is running great! 👍

Great switch - we use the LAG (link aggregation) feature on a few 2.5GB connections, it works with everything we connect to it. We uplink to a 10GB switch, and it works flawlessly. We have 1GB and 2.5GB clients connected to it.

I picked up a couple of these to upgrade my home network and connections, as I prefer everything hardwired instead of using wifi. I'd upgraded to 2gb fiber internet many months ago but only more recently began adding other items that actually had 2.5gb ports, and needed to swap out my old 1gb network switches. These were the better bargain I could find at the time for the price, quality is fine, and mine doesn't get overly hot. I only use the ethernet ports though. It is nice that they are two rows of four, so it's a little more compact than a longer one where all 8 ports are lined out. It's a bargain, it handles 2.5gb, I'd definitely buy again. Just plug in your internet and off you go, no need to mess with settings or otherwise.

Love this switch so far. Rock solid stability, fast, and runs cool and quiet (passive cooling--no fan). And for an all-metal chassis with EIGHT 2.5Gbe ports the price ($43 not on sale!) is incredible. Very happy with this little guy. I have mine sitting in an open wire rack shelving unit though, so can't say how it would fair in an enclosed space or with poor ventilation.

This switch seemed fine at firast, but in under a week it started flaking out, wherein it would stop passing IP traffic while still allowing ICMP through, with restarting the device being the only fix. Once it happeend the first time it started happening over and over, every few hours.

I upgraded from a non-managed Sodola 8-port 2.5G with 10G sfp+ to this 24-port 2.5G with 2x 10G sfp+ and I am very happy with it so far. For the price it was a great option. My previous Sodola switch worked great, never any issues and so far this one is working out very well also. The management interface is simple and easy to use and has good features, it is easier to use then Cisco's interface for similar models. I only used the GUI and don't know if this model has a console but, I don't care about that anyway.

I've been using this SODOLA 8-port 2.5G switch (with one 10G SFP+ port) for about four months now, primarily connected via its SFP+ port to another multi-gig switch in my home network. In terms of core functionality – speed, stability, heat, and noise – my experience has been largely positive and quite similar to other well-performing unmanaged 2.5G switches I've used. It delivers reliable 2.5Gbps speeds, runs cool and silent (presumably fanless), and was instantly recognized and operational thanks to its plug-and-play design. The most distinct aspect of this SODOLA switch is its physical design, which presents both a pro and a con. On the positive side, by arranging the eight 2.5G RJ45 ports in two rows (stacked vertically), the switch achieves a remarkably small desktop footprint for an 8-port unit. This is great if you're tight on space. However, the downside of this arrangement is that the ports are quite crowded. Plugging and unplugging network cables, especially if you're using thicker cables or boots, can be rather fiddly and requires some patience due to the limited space between ports. Connectivity includes the eight 2.5G ports and the single 10G SFP+ port, which, as mentioned, has worked flawlessly for linking to my other switch. It's important for potential buyers to note that having only one SFP+ port does limit its flexibility. While perfect for connecting to a single upstream device or router at high speed, it means this switch isn't suitable as a central or core switch if your network design requires multiple SFP/SFP+ connections for uplinks or linking several high-speed devices/switches. Overall, this SODOLA switch offers a good number of 2.5G ports in a very compact package and performs reliably. Its value seems competitive, aligning with the positive sentiment often seen for brands offering similar specs at lower price points. I'd recommend it for users who need to connect multiple 2.5G devices, prioritize minimizing desktop clutter, and only require a single SFP+ connection. Just be prepared for slightly tighter cable management due to the stacked port layout.

I purchased to replace my old 1gbps router to upgrade my backbone network. I have mesh routers using wired connection has backhaul and this router enabled me to connect in 2.5gbps. It instantly connected in 2.5gbps and worked great ever since. My house has cat5e cables connecting every room and 2.5gbps connection is stable.
