10Gb Ethernet Switch Unmanaged with 2 x 10Gbe RJ45 Ports, 4 x 2.5G Base-T Ports, Plug and Play, VLAN, Wall Mount, YuanLey 6-Port 10 Gigabit Network Switch with Metal Case Fanless

Although I was skeptical buying Foreign electronics, not TP Link, Netgear, etc. It is working quite well and switching is good

Honestly, I’m not sure how this thing is priced this low — but it works exactly as advertised. YuanLey is a Chinese brand, and while I was a little skeptical at first, this switch has performed flawlessly. I’m getting full 2.5Gbps across my wired devices, and everything else connects through Wi-Fi 7 back to the router, which is linked via a 10Gb SFP uplink. The build is solid, fanless and quiet, and setup is as simple as plug-and-play. For the price, this is a no-brainer if you want to upgrade your home or small office network without dropping a fortune.

Nice 10G/2.5G ethernet switch. Has a 10G port for input (compatible with lower speeds if you don't have 10G) and one 10G port going out. All the other 8 ports are 2.5G. No drop offs noticed. Light on switch tells you speed you are at. This is plug and play. No setup required.

I've been using the YuanLey 8x2.5GbE and 1xSFP+ switch since August 2023, and I'm thrilled to report that it has performed flawlessly. I had a spare 10G QSFPTEK SFP+ copper module that I used with CAT8 cables, and it worked seamlessly with this switch. Additionally, I tested it with a new 10G SFP+ DAC Twinax Cable, Passive, and it performed without a hitch. The compatibility and performance exceeded my expectations. What stands out most is the incredible value this switch offers for under $100. The ability to handle multiple high-speed connections at this price point is remarkable. I've extensively tested this switch with my NAS storage, Homelab servers, and access points, and I'm pleased to report that no issues were encountered. Even during extended use, the switch's temperature remains at room temperature, which is a testament to its reliability and efficiency. I'm extremely pleased with its performance and versatility. Here's hoping this switch continues to deliver for a long time to come.

One of the 10gbps links have failed after 6 months. When I touched the switch to investigate it was running very hot, especially the underside seem to have no way to dissipate heat. Mfr/Seller claims an operating temperature of ~50C. Clearly the switch itself is not dissipating heat properly. I've reached out to the seller for warranty claims and will update here if there's a proper resolution. How do I know the port has failed - by switching the cable out from 10GBPS to 2.5GBPS port just worked. Other cables to do not work with the same port that work with every other port. The ports did work as intended out of the box when I first bought it. However, at this point I'm expecting other ports to fail over time as this is not able to maintain operating temperatures even when the ambient temps are < 30C. I expect even a new unit might fail, as this feels essentially a quality and design issue at the core. Update June 1st: Yuanley support shipped a new replacement unit and they were very professional and easy to work with. I've changed my review from 2 -> 4 star solely based on their support experience. The new unit is running hot but I've changed the position so it sits on one side with both the top and bottom exposed for better heat dissipation. Fingers crossed.

Do not use this switch if you have multiple access points. Even when the toggle is set to disable "one-key vlan", this switch fails to update it's MAC table when devices roam between access points that are connected to different ports of this switch. The net result is my phone suddenly drops network connection for several minutes. I confirmed it was not a one-off by trying another of these switches, and confirmed this switch is the issue by replacing this with another brand switch.

I upgraded to Frontier's 2Gbps plan, but my Wi-Fi speeds were only around 300–800 Mbps. Even when I hardwired my Mac mini M2 directly to the Frontier gateway/router in the closet, the speed maxed out at 800–900 Mbps. I soon realized that the built-in Ethernet port on the Mac mini is limited to 1Gbps. To get the full speed I am paying for, I purchased this YuanLey 2.5G Switch along with a USB-C to 2.5Gbps Ethernet Adapter and Cat.7 cables. The results are phenomenal! Both my 2019 MacBook Pro and Mac mini M2 now consistently hit amazing speeds between 1900 and 2300 Mbps. Installation & Troubleshooting Tips: 1. Setup: Connect the main Ethernet cable coming from your Frontier gateway into Port 1 of the switch. Then, connect your computers to Ports 2 through 5 using the 2.5G adapters. 2. Initial Connection issue: When you connect everything for the first time, it might not recognize the network right away. If this happens, simply reboot your computer, and it should connect perfectly. 3. Disconnection issues (Adapter Compatibility): If you experience intermittent disconnections, it is likely an issue with the USB Ethernet adapter. I actually had to return my first set of adapters due to this issue. After buying a different, high-quality 2.5G adapter, the connection became rock solid. If it keeps disconnecting, try swapping the adapter. The switch is completely silent (fanless) and stays cool. Highly recommended for anyone looking to build a budget-friendly 2.5G home network!

Got this because only 1 2.5gbps on my service provider gateway and I needed at least 2 for my router and pc then to my Xfinity gateway. So far it’s been working great.

Considerando la presenza di 8 porte Ethernet da 2,5 Gbps oltre a una porta SFP da 10 Gbps, il tutto con una notevole capacità di commutazione pari a 60 Gbps, il prezzo inferiore ai 100 euro è sicuramente un punto a favore cdi questo dispositivo. La mia soddisfazione è tale che, data la necessità di avere altre porte Ethernet, ho acquistato un secondo switch identico al primo. Con un semplice cavetto SFP+ a 10Gbps da pochi euro ho connesso i due switch con la porta SFP da 10 Gbps e la connssione è stata immediata e le prestazioni solide. Qualità dei materiali, gli assemblaggi e la realizzazione complessiva sono di buon livello. Confermo che anche il mio modello non è fornito di piedini in gomma e ha in dotazione un alimentazione con cavo saldato (anche se purtroppo non è di tipo USB-A). Le temperature di esercizio sono nella norma nonostante un utilizzo intensivo e i consumi non hanno mai superato i 10watt, in idle siamo a 2-3watt. Nonostante la presenza di ben 9 porte, le dimensioni (di 197x73x30mm) e il peso rimangono contenuti, con un design compatto . In conclusione, posso affermare con certezza che l'investimento in questi switch si è rivelato non solo conveniente dal punto di vista economico, ma anche soddisfacente in termini di prestazioni spero solo che durino nel tempo. Dimenticavo la cosa più importante, per avere prestazioni a 2,5Gbps è ovviamente avere tutta la catena a 2,5Gbps partendo dalle porte ethernet dei dispositivi fino i cavi di rete ed eventuali porte keystone. Con i dispositivi a mia disposizione , purtroppo non recentissimi, sono riuscito a fare trasferimenti su singola porta intorno ai 2Gbps, mi riservo di fare ulteriori test quando avrò a disposizione dell'hardware più aggiornato.

It works faster and better than the small switches with 1 GB ports

Great unit works perfectly and very fast. You will need a UK to Australian plug converter or equivalent power supply

Dieser unmanaged 10-Port Switch von YuanLey ist die perfekte Upgrade-Lösung für jedes moderne Heimnetzwerk oder Home Office. Mit 8 Ports à 2,5G und gleich zwei vollwertigen 10G-Ports ist er wie geschaffen, um ein schnelles NAS, PCs oder moderne WLAN-Access-Points ohne Flaschenhals miteinander zu verbinden. Besonders genial: Trotz der enormen Leistung kommt das robuste Metallgehäuse komplett ohne Lüfter aus. Der Switch arbeitet dadurch absolut geräuschlos und wird im Betrieb dennoch nicht zu heiß. Das Anschließen ist reines Plug-and-Play, die Abwärtskompatibilität zu älteren 100/1000-Mbps-Geräten funktioniert tadellos. Wer ein performantes und leises Netzwerk-Upgrade sucht, macht hier absolut nichts falsch. Volle 5 Sterne!

Habe den Switch vor zwei Jahren gekauft. Seitdem funktioniert dieser problemlos. Er ist mit einem zweiten Switch von YuanLey über Glasfaser mit jeweils einem 10Gb SFP+ LR Singlemode Modul von 10 Gtek über eine Distanz von ca. 220 Meter verbunden. Von mir uneingeschränkte Empfehlung.
