STEAMEMO 5-Port Gigabit Ethernet Switch | Smart Managed with VLAN/QoS | Plug & Play Desktop/Wall-Mount Network Hub w/ PoE in Design | Sturdy Metal & Energy-Efficient(Includes Power Adapter)

This was a great find. I was skeptical because it was cheap but it's definitely not cheaply made. It has a good weight to it. Comes with the a/C plug. It has a place where you can hang it. Works great. No loss of speed. It also has lightning protection. It's a Great buy!!! Very happy! It works way better than the brand name I had for way less cost. This was worth way more! Would definitely recommend and definitely buy again!

I will update should I need to. The switches came fast, very quick shipping. They arrive in simple packages in perfect shape, which was nice. They include the power supply. Very easy to setup, they arrive with DHCP enabled so a quick advanced ip scan and they were easy to find. Once configured I noticed firmware was different and reached out to their support. They were fantastic, worked with me to identify what was needed and sent the firmware and instruction to apply in sequence. I tested port shutdowns, very simple. Although they aren't overly advanced they are perfect for a simple managed Switch. You have the option of cloud or local manage on 16 port and 8 port versions and the value is amazing.

Plug and play. Just works. Extends my wired network with this and added more ports.

I bought this and after a bit of struggle have successfully set it up. Note that purely on price there is no way you can get anything comparable. But the instructions are a bit unclear. The app works but takes a bit of time for the device to be available on the cloud. Initially it kept saying device offline. Best way is to download their windows app (not mentioned anywhere). Find the IP of the switch by going to the router and then logging on to it via the browser. Then the device worked on the app. So if f these steps are unfamiliar I would suggest don’t buy the switch for managed capabilities. Unmanaged I suppose it would still be fine. But I don’t know. Did not test.

Take a load off your wi-fi router and connect your dedicated pc via ethernet

I picked up the STEAMEMO 5-port gigabit switch for my home office, and it’s been awesome. Setup was super easy, and switching between managed and unmanaged modes was straightforward. I like how it handles traffic smoothly and keeps everything running fast. The web interface is simple to use, and the POE power option is a nice bonus. It feels solid, and I haven’t had to mess with it since installing. Great little device!

This is Great if your modem only has one out Ethernet port, it gives you 5 more gadgets to hook up and it does not decrease the speed. I highly recommend this item and seller, shipped very fast. I will use this seller again! Price was great!

This was a huge waste of time.You have to contact the company (as another reviewer pointed out) via email to get updated firmware so you can actually have local control over the switch (as opposed to cloud-only via a phone app). I knew this going in and firewalled off the switch itself from the outside before even putting it on my network for good measure.What you won't find out until setting it up is it has no options that any other 802.1Q capable switch has for setting up tagged VLANs. Tagging is *the* core feature of 802.1Q.It also has no options for assigning 802.1Q PVIDs to ports, something all of my other switches have (and it's fairly important for preventing your non-802.1Q devices from falling back to the wrong VLAN).I asked the company how to set up the switch with a specific (fairly common) example VLAN config that I'm already using on multiple other switches and my router and their terse response was: "Our switch only supports TRUNK and ACCESS."I asked if there was possibly a language translation problem as "access" doesn't make sense in this context (exact question), and received no response.I returned it to Amazon. There are many more out there that are far better with much better support (I have several).Shop around and look at screenshots of the menus.
