6 Port 2.5G Web Smart Managed Ethernet Switch with 5 x 2.5G Base-T Ports, 1 x 10G SFP+, Static Aggregation, QoS/VLAN/IGMP, Metal Housing Fanless, Desktop/Wall-Mount

Works as it should

Fast turnaround. Powers up my phone.

This PoE switch is good quality and works very well. The 4 ports handle the four PoE security cameras I have attached to it and the two uplink ports are nice to have. I use one of the uplink ports to connect to my main network and the other as an uplink to a PC. This switch is currently at a remote building and connects to my main network with a gigabit 5G wireless bridge allowing me to monitor the remote building from my main location and allows me to use a PC at that location with a reliable network connection. It does not seem to get to hot and has handled hot areas without failure or issues.

I had a couple of Ethernet cables running from where the utility enters my cabin to my desk area, to serve my computer and printer. This didn't look so good, so I thought it would be better to add an Ethernet switch to get rid of at least one of the cables. Because I live in a cave, I was not quite up to date on how PoE (power over Ethernet) works. So apparently this nifty switch from Keeplink can power security cameras etc. right over the cable. I'll be able to use this feature, I believe.Not only does this switch improve the cosmetics of my living space, it also is delivering some fast fast speeds from what I can tell on my desktop computer and printer.A couple of things to note:* You don't get a pair of short Ethernet cables with this PoE switch. When you see included cables mentioned in reviews, that refers to a different Keeplink product. So order some Ethernet cables if you are short, noting (I think I have this correct) you have different Ethernet cables for regular connections vs. PoE.* The instruction manual might as well be written in Greek for someone non-techy like me. I was wondering if the incoming Ethernet should go into a port labeled Uplink (yes), and whether I needed to do anything with the DIP switches. (I didn't touch them, and things seem to be working OK.) The informative graphics on the product page were somewhat more useful.I'm liking the performance of this switch, to the point I *may* even put my laptop on Ethernet, if it makes everything faster.Review of keepLiNK PoE Switch with 4 Gigabit PoE+ Ports & 2 Gigabit Uplink, 802.3af/at Compliant, 65W Built-in Power, Unmanaged Metal Plug and Play

Good product would use it again

I like that this switch has two uplink ports. Most four port PoE switches only have one uplink so the extra uplink gives a total of six ports, four of which are powered.I also like that you can configure options via four DIP switches on the front of the device. Switch one causes the PoE ports to detect and try to recover failed PoE devices. Switch two puts the PoE ports into extended distance mode but at a much slower speed. Switch three enables PoE port isolation which keeps devices connected to the ports from being able to communicate with each other. They still all communicate to the uplink ports, though. This is a great security feature. Switch four turns on storm control which can help in certain network error situations.It also has the power supply built into the chassis which makes cable management much easier as well as built in lightning protection.I tested this with several IPoE security cameras and it works great.

At this price point, I have no issues with this 4 port PoE+ switch with 2 gigabit uplink ports. The switch works well for my needs. I ordered this switch to add additional PoE cameras to my back yard as well a potentially a PoE access point. The switch has no issues powering 4 PoE cameras or three cameras and my access point.While the switch has 2 uplink ports, one of the uplink ports can also be used as a standard non-PoE port that could be used to hook up a computer, printer, or other ethernet device.The switch is plenty fast for my needs. I was not able to get over 300 Mbps from any of the 6 ports. My internet speed is rated at 400 Mbps and I am able to obtain those speeds when hooks directly to my main switch. Overall, I am fully satisfied with the performance of this switch.

The documentation refers to this switch as an "Enterprise" switch, but it's really just a great little device for the home. It's an unmanaged switch and can provide PoE+ power to up to 4 devices. Great for an AP or two and some cameras.The switch does not include rack-mounting ears, but there are two holes on each side for a small sized network rack. The switch is just barely taller than my Ubiquiti 1U switch, but it should still fit in most racks.The only downside is that the instructions are not clear on the switches. The included instructions in the box include just a few words on what the switches do. For example, "Port isolation". OK.. which port(s)? No clue. The product description online has much better instructions, but that won't be online forever, so make sure to archive the information for future reference.
