TRENDnet8-Port Gigabit GREENnet Switch, Ethernet Network Switch, TEG-S82G, 8 x 10-100-1000 Mbps Gigabit Ethernet Ports, Ethernet Splitter, 16 Gbps, Metal, Lifetime Protection, Black

This switch works great and I actually have a few of them. Using the 2.5Gig to connect to different devices and then using the 10G interface as an uplink connection to my satellite routers 10G interface, and then forwards the data to main router at 10G. 508MB pings tests over a few days showed no drops and did similar test with TrendNet 5 port 10G switch same results. Speed test reached approximately 2.5Gps with no issues. Great purchase for a great price and it does not get too warm. Using Cat6 for 2.5G ports and Cat6a for 10G port. An American Company!

I bought the TRENDnet 8-Port 2.5G switch along with some Cat8 Ethernet cables, and it’s been excellent from the start. It worked right out of the box — no setup or configuration needed. I’ve got 8 different devices connected to it, including security cameras, streaming devices, and my gaming setup, and everything runs smooth with zero lag or glitches.The build quality is solid, and I really appreciate that it’s fanless — completely silent in my setup. The 2.5G speed is a great upgrade over standard gigabit, especially since it works with existing Cat5e and above cabling. The switch has handled everything I’ve thrown at it without even blinking.If you’re looking to expand your wired network with faster speeds and hassle-free setup, this switch is a great choice. Highly recommend it for both home and small office use.

Works great with my Eero 7 Mesh routers including backhaul unlike the TP-Link unmanaged switch I recently bought. Easy peazy to set up. Just plug it in!

(In case the reviews for Trendnet switches are shown on more than one model, this review is of the model with 1x10G RJ45 port, 8x2.5G RJ45 ports.) We recently upgraded our home router to include a 10G port and several 2.5G ports, the switch we had was an 8x1G port model from another company. I'm happy to report that the installation for this switch was just unplugging and replugging the cables & power adapter, as you'd expect, and that it just works. I've done a few tests both with downloads from the internet, and between our home server plugged into the router, and our desktops in the office connected to this switch, it definitely operates well over the maximum speed of our old 1GB switch (as you'd expect). I haven't pushed it to capacity, but I can say it was just the upgrade our network needed at this time. As a black box with blinkenlights, it isn't winning any awards for aesthetics, but the old switch lived under a desk on top of a UPS, this was a non-factor for our purchase.

This TEG-S82G GREENnet switch is sturdy, compact, solidly built and comes with a nice small efficient power supply. Once powered up, it connects all the occupied ports to my LAN quickly within a few seconds and the connections are fast and reliable.I tested data speeds through this switch and found that it operates at the very limit of my Gigabit Ethernet LAN. I could not find any instance where this switch throttled network throughput or affected the speed of network traffic. Admittedly, I have a small network that consists of only about 40 nodes, but some are security cameras that transmit a high volume of data on the network continuously and might decrease available bandwidth with other, less capable switches.My favorite feature is that these TRENDnet switches have their status lights on the front face of the case and the ports and power connection on the back. This makes them perfect for sitting on a desk in a home network and allowing all the cabling to fall behind the desk out of the way against the wall.I only have one gripe, hence the 4-star review. I have been using the older TRENDnet TEG-S80G switches for a while now and they, too, have provided reliable service. Recently, an older, well used switch faltered and limited the throughput on one port to T-100 speeds. Noticing the slowdown on the LAN, I was easily able to spot the cause because this older TRENDnet switch has two-state status lights on the front. Green for Gigabit connections and orange for T-100. Well, the faulty port was connected to a Gigabit device and yet the indicator showed only a T-100 link. This visual confirmation was simple and instant, and I was able to identify and replace the faulty switch easily.But, these new model TEG-S82G switches have only a single state status indicator on the front. It is green for any connection speed, and therefore not an indicator of LAN speed for each port. Once you connect a node, the indicator lights to indicate a connection and blinks as data it transmitted on that node, but there is no indication of the connection speed. I can no longer assess the quality of my LAN at a glance like I used to.

Great switch! Makes a noticeably big difference in our PC gaming! Built very well.Fast and serious for sure! Great price to!

Works fine. I have zero networking experience but got everything connected and it greatly increased my internet speeds. Very happy with this purchase. Looking at a Synology NAS next.

Nice unit for the price.
