TP-Link Jetstream 8 Port Multi-Gigabit L2+ Managed PoE Switch (TL-SG3210XHP-M2) - 8 PoE+ Port @240W, 2 x 10G SFP+ Slots, 2.5G Bandwidth, Omada SDN Integrated, IPv6, Limited Lifetime Protection

This product represents an excellent blend of features and performance. For my small SMB private cloud, I use this device as my core switch. My NAS and ESXi server occupy the 2x10 gpbs SFP ports, and my wireless and office terminate on the 2.5 gbps ports, where the wireless router supports multi-gig (2.5) LAN and the office has a small 2.5 gpbs switch, connected my desktop with an integrated 2.5 gbps NIC. This allows me to optimize my speeds for all points of access with far fewer limitations. I can get full use of my 1.5 gpbs fibre connection everywhere now. Notably, were I a content creator transferring large file sets often, I would want 10gbps in the office as well. As is, I am developing/terraforming and providing services as VMs in VMWare more than moving large files. I am also using cloud services and maximizing my internet speeds more than anything else. This switch was perfect for my use case. Some notes: 1) Its loud. I have it tucked away in a server rack, but I wouldn't want it on my desk. 2) L2 features are excellent 3) I could not register the product online - TP-Link doesn't recognize the serial number.

Absolutely the best switch I’ve own to date Would recommend to anyone looking for a new switch

The switch works as expected. Using two 10GB ethernet sfp modules I am getting the advertised speeds. The 2.5 GB ports also get their advertised speeds even over cat5e going through a patch panel at about 50-75 feet. Also if you install the Omada software it will tell you some great stats on the switch and access points if you use them (I do). TP-Link has made a great product, and they are all integrated with Omada at very reasonable price. If you want switches and access points better than your typical router but not going all the way up to Cisco in complexity these make a great balance.

Excellent item, exactly as described, works well.

This thing is loud. Would not recommend for use outside of a closet. I appreciate its interface and functionality. It worked out of the box with very little hassle. I was able to connect a few PoE devices to it and they were autodetected and worked without issue. Really appreciate the combination of features: 8x2.5Gbe ports, PoE, VLAN and Link Aggregation support. However since I'm planning to return the new TP-Link EAP670 access point I got to pair with this, I'm not sure it's worth keeping this switch around since I could replace it with something slightly more expensive but less noisy and stay with a single management interface (i.e. ubiquiti). FYI: There are online videos of people trying to reduce the noise by replacing the fans. Save yourself the trouble and don't even attempt this. The pinouts are very particular and replacement fans will move less air. Many of the online videos had followups that the switch died a few months later. This was probably due to the increased temperatures and replacing the fans also voided their warranty. Still on the fence as to whether I will return this for refund. All I am sure about is that it's the loudest piece of equipment in the house.
