## Description

Upgrade to a Super-Fast, Futuristic Network, 8-Port 2.5G Desktop Switch.

Review: Happiness on the home network - I purchased this 16-port unmanaged switch to replace an assortment of smaller switches I was using in my home office. The price seemed reasonable for a brand-name 16 port 1GB switch. When it arrived, I connected all of my office devices to it with CAT6 cable and took it for a spin. All I can say is "wow." This switch is a great example of plug-and-play. I powered it on, connected my ISP cable into port one and then plugged in all of the cables from my desktop computers, printers, scanner and notebook computer, plus the home wireless router. Everything worked flawlessly. I used the browser on my desktop to run a download/upload speed test and the switch was definitely delivering the 1GB advertised throughput. The switch has to be plugged into a power outlet but there is no fan inside. I have not noticed it heating up at all and I appreciate the absence of yet another fan whirring faintly in the background. The unit is a little over 11 inches wide, so before you order one, make sure you have enough space for it in your workplace. It can also be mounted on the wall. As a final test, I plugged enough equipment into the switch to use up 15 of the 16 ports. I wanted to see if there would be any traffic collision issues. Success. Performance didn't appear to be degraded on any of the devices connected to it. I am more than pleased with this purchase. My home office network runs much faster than it did with my older switches. The large number of ports on this new switch allowed me to reduce some of the cable clutter around my workspace. The quality of the metal case is excellent. It's a good day when you can purchase a network computing device that comes out of the box, plugs in and just plain works. I highly recommend this product if you're running out of ports on a 4 or 8-port switch. If you are standing up a wired home network for the first time, spend a few extra dollars for this switch if you have four or five devices to connect. That will leave a lot of unused ports on your switch but you won't have to worry about buying another switch if you expand your network in the future.
Review: Plug it in and it just works. - Painless plug & play with no configuration or troubleshooting needed. It just works, unlike some "smart" switches that do dumb things. Good price and built like a tank. This replaced an ancient, 28 year old (!) 10/100 Mbps switch which was dragging down a home FIOS network. Unplugged the old one, moved the cables to this one, and the network maxed out to its full speed.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: what is the difference between the smart switch and the unmanaged switch?**
A: Unmanaged switches are plug and play - connect one of the ports to your existing LAN via Ethernet to receive additional physical Ethernet port connectivity via the switch. The Easy Smart variation offers some basic management features such as QoS for a Lag-Free Experience, IGMP Snooping for Multicast Optimization, and VLAN for Security.

**Q: Are all ports capable of 1000mbps?**
A: Yes all ports are capable of 1000mbps. 

Ex: My home internet download speed is 400mbps, I use cat6a cable for all connections starting from modem to router to switch and finally to all wired devices. 

All ports have green lights when device is on indicating it is running anywhere from 101mbps to 1000mbps then when I go to speed net I can check my speed on each device and am getting my full 400mbps that I am paying for. 

When I turn device off lights turn orange indicating speeds lower than 100mbps because my port is off and inactive.

**Q: can I connect with ethernet cable to my fire stick tv and my laptop and use them both at the same time?**
A: Yes.  You can plug an Ethernet cord from your modem into this box and then cables from it to 4 devices to share your connection.

**Q: What port would you plug the lan cable coming from the router into on the 24 port gigaswitch ?**
A: All the ports of an Unmanaged Ethernet Switch are plug and play.  You can, therefore, plug into any of the 24 ports.
