BrosTrend 2.5Gb Switch, 8 Port Network Switch 2.5 Gigabit, Unmanaged Ethernet Switch for Game Console, NAS, PC, Computer Networking Switch Plug & Play Fanless, Desktop Wall Mount, Lifetime Protection

Very economical switch for home network. Now I can use my file server's 2.5Gbps network at full speed to transfer files. Truly plug & play, no issues at all.

Nice little hub, takes up no room due to it's compact size. Worked straight out of the box, with no issues with Kill E3100G 2.5GHz NICs. After 24 hours everything changed, each time the system went to sleep it required a restart, BIOS access to disable/enable the Killer E3100G 2.5G NIC. After fitting it for six hours, it was returned to Amazon.

Compact, Powerful - with 8 Ports and screaming performance ..The S3 is Awesome! Just Plug and go.

Seems to work as advertised

I like the white - matches my router. Case is plastic but there are vent holes throughout the device so not worried about it overheating. I like how the power jack and ethernet ports are on the same side, so you can have cords routed out the back and the front of the switch is nice and clean looking. Power supply cord is also long enough to allow me to place the switch in a good spot without worrying about cord length.The packaging for this product is very nice; switch comes in a colorful shrink-wrapped box with a nice quick start guide explaining the features. There are definitely cheaper switches (I saw one for $10 less than this one), but the cheaper ones are generic or I suspect will have very litle after-sale support. This brand has a website and support address, so I’m confident they’d provide help if needed. Thanks for reading!

It took about 5 minutes to install and connect to my NAS and laptop, and it works perfectly. I have only recently installed my NAS, and I only used wifi to connect to it while waiting for this switch. The difference in speed is incredible. I am also waiting for a 10 GB switch for when I need to transfer large amounts of data, but for now, I am happy with the speed for my needs.

I upgraded my router to one that has 5GB ethernet ports and wanted to upgrade a switch for some of my connections. The price was right on this one and I couldn't find anything in the same ballpark that was reviewed as well. I've had it running for several weeks now without issue. No setup and no reboots, plug and play.

Bought 8 of these for home network upgrade from 1 > 2.5. Easy plug and play, fast speeds, no issues.
