keepLiNK 16 Port 2.5G Network Ethernet Switch, 16 x 2.5Gb RJ45 Ports, 4 x 10G SFP Slots, 240Gbps Switching Capacity, Desktop or Rack Mount/Metal Case/Fan Cooling/Plug and Play Unmanaged

Received switch quickly. Unmanaged plug and play. Works well. Ordered two 10gb SFP from keepLink as well, still waiting on delivery.

This 6-Port 2.5G switch is exactly what I was looking for! It has 4 x 2.5GBASE-T ports and 2 x 10GBASE-T SFP slots, and it's completely plug-and-play. No setup headaches at all. I'm using it with a fiber ISP that supports 2.5G speeds, and it’s working great so far. Speeds are way better than standard 1G, and I didn’t have to shell out for one of those overpriced 5G switches. Heads up though – to really get the most out of it, you’ll need a PC with either a built-in 2.5/5G NIC (which is rare) or grab a 2.5G PCIe card (they’re cheap!). I did the latter and it was totally worth it. Also, even though my ISP is fiber, I rarely max out the 2.5G connection – could be ISP-side limitations, but still super fast. Silent, fanless, and metal build – feels solid. Great choice if you’re upgrading from 1G and want real speed improvements without overspending. Highly recommend!

I was using a 5 port 2.5 GB TPLINK switch with my 2 gb Xfinity connection. My PC's would max out at 1.5 to 1.7 GB running speed test. Installed this 16 port 2.5 GB switch and my speed test are now reaching 2.3 GB. In my case repeated speed test yielded higher sprreds than my connection was rated at, Happy with the purchase results.

I have this unmanaged switch connected to my modem and cat5e cables that run to each room are also connected to it. I have a gigabit internet connection and I get very close to the maximum speed without issue. I get these speeds even while hosting a game server in a separate room, which is also connected to the switch via cat 5e cable. I have had to power cycle previous switches in order to maintain high speeds. But not with the keepLiNK 5 Port 2.5G unmanaged switch. I purchased it about 8 months ago, have never had to power cycle it, and I've had zero problems whatsoever with it. It's a quality switch that does its job well.

Pros: 1. Works as expected 2. SFP+ port seems to work just fine 3. It has plenty of 2.5gbit ports 4. It is cheap 5. No packet loss seen 6. Ports do seem to operate at 2.5gbit Cons: 1. The power adapter's cord could be longer. This is the second switch I have had this issue with lately. Everyone seems to use 5ft cables when I could use 6-7ft for my use case.

Plug and play. The 10G port is a nice way to string switches close to each other together. My network has 3 of this brands switches that I upgraded from 1 gig switches. Using the proper cabling and now my network easily exceeds 2 gigs! Build quality seems as good as any I've been using for 10 years. A good value overall.

Switched to Google Fiber at 3GB speed, wanted to upgrace from 1GB switch speed. This 2.5GB switch increased my speed to +2GB. Got 2nd one for additional wired network connections. Works great 👍.

Had to send it back. We plugged our items in and powered up the switch. The unit lit up all the lights and turned off other than the power light. The ethernet port only showed one side communication from all inputs. The green lights flickered but none of the orange lights flickered which would indicate communication. The instructions had options for managed and unmanaged installation. We did try web address 192.168.1.168 with no login option. So we had to return it... bummer we were hoping to streamline our setup with this switch. Upon asking for return there was no option to have it replaced with the exact same model only refund.
