Goalake 2.5G Switch, 6-Port Ethernet Switch, 4×2.5G RJ45 + 2×10G SFP Ports, 60Gbps Switching Capacity, with LED, Fanless Quiet, for NAS, Server, WiFi AP, PCIe Adapter, 4K Video, Gaming PC

I recently set up the 8 Ports Ethernet Switch with 8 2.5G RJ45 Ports and 1 10G SFP Port, and I have to say, I’m pretty impressed. The installation was straightforward, and I appreciated the clear labeling on the ports, which made it easy to connect everything without any confusion. My home network is much more robust now. The 2.5G speeds have noticeably improved my internet experience, especially when streaming and gaming. I previously had issues with lag, but since using this switch, everything runs smoothly, even with multiple devices connected. The SFP port is a nice touch for future upgrades if I ever need faster connectivity options. Build quality feels solid, and it runs quietly, which is a plus for me since my setup is in a shared space. Overall, I think this switch offers great performance for the price, and I’d definitely recommend it to anyone looking to upgrade their home or small office network. It’s an easy way to enhance your network without breaking the bank!

This well built, high quality, metal box, switch was easy to install and every time i do a speed test, every computer connected has a 2.49G through-put to my 5G router. My internet has never been so fast! Also transfers from computer to computer are unbelievable, too! It has been in operation for over three months and have no down issues to report. Although, not very familiar with the Brand, if needed I would buy another one without hesitation.

Installed a NAS, wanted 2.5gb to access - this worked! No fan, so it's quitet and still passes 2.5 gb. Connections are olid and true sized. Wish it came with mounting tabs, used some l brackets from HD with small screws to under-shelf mount - Keeps plenty of airspace around all 6 sides. Recomended for a simple plug-n-play replacement.

Starting with the 5-stars... It does what it says. I don't use the VLAN option. Out of the box, on first power up, I am not sure if the VLAN switch was on or part-way, but... Powered down, I switched it up to VLAN, down to not VLAN, and powered up. Everything connected perfectly, including the 10G SFPs I have. It connected directly to the other Goalake switch I have (8-port 2.5g x7, 10G SFP 1x), and everything connected without issue. This will be placed near my router, acting as the central switch, connecting to the other 2x switches throughout the house, and also a couple of ports for my devices near the router. It is silent, and doesn't seem to heat up much with little load. Steel design, have not opened it up for a look inside. Easy desktop/shelf size for smaller spaces. Performance was tested only via 2x 2.5gb connections over the 10G SFP. They ran full wire speed at 2.49gbps. My primary reason for the 10G fiber SFP+ was using fiber is a bit more reliable and functional in this space. I used the following SFP+: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09X9RZWX9 B09X9RZWX9 These use standard LC-LC fiber. I used these: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08BZB6YX5 B08BZB6YX5 Everything works, I have a very basic but solid (so far!) 2.5gb network running over CAT6, and running 100' of LC-LC fiber between switches via 10G SFP+s.

works very well

Good switch low latency and can handle the full 2.5g

2.5G works good.

Works great for adding devices when the modem supplied doesn't have enough inputs.
