Reviewed in the United States on March 22, 2024
Per-port lights made it obvious which ports run at 2.5 gigabit, 1 gigabit, and 100 megabit. I loved the fan-less design - zero noise coming from these TP-Link switches. I will never buy a fan-based switch again - they collect dust, and eventually die unless kept clean.
Speed:
Tested throughput extensively using iperf3 on the local network, and speedtest.net for Internet speed.
LAN (local network) bandwidth tests reliably 2.3 gigabit average between two computers. Same speed when 2 computers are on the same switch, and when they are connected switch-to-switch. This was a HUGE improvement over a gigabit network which maxed out at about 0.95 gigabits.
Was worried whether my investment would actually get close to 2.5 gigabit, especially switch-to-switch, but they did! Two TP-Link switches are linked with a 40-foot in-wall Cat-6 cable, and computers can get 2.3 gigabit between the two switches.
Internet speed tested at 2.0 gigabit download and 910 megabit upload with Google Fiber 2 Gig!
The TP-Links were fully backward compatible with 1 gigabit and 100 megabit devices and switches. Connected various slower devices including a gigabit switch (1gig), a Ubiquiti AC Lite AP (1gig), a printer (100meg), and voice-over-IP box (100meg).
Heat: These TP-Link switches get slightly warm but never hot.
Ethernet Adapters: Using Sabrent 2.5 Gigabit NT-S25G USB 3.0 adapters on all my computers, since none of my computers came with 2.5 gigabit as of mid-2021. I had some auto-negotiation issues on bootup, where the adapter would sync at 100 mbit or 1 gbit (not 2.5gig) when the adapter powered on. After boot, I would manually adjust the driver's speed setting from auto-negotiate to 2.5 gigabit, or 2.5 gigabit to auto-negotiate, which would re-sync at 2.5-gig with the switch. Contacted Sabrent support who also believed the issue was with the latest Realtek driver, a fix may be coming soon.
Another reviewer here believed the TP-Links are responsible for auto-negotiate issues, it may be a TP-Link issue but I'm not sure. When I connected my TP-Link 2.5 gig switches to each other, they always synced at 2.5 gig. Same with the Google Fiber router's 1/2.5/5/10 port which always auto-negotiated at 2.5 gig. Only my Realtek-chip adapters would sync at lower speed on initial power-on. I figured out that by plugging my 2.5gig adapters into always-on USB 3.0 ports via USB 3.0 hub, kept the adapters locked at 2.5 gigabit even after the PC rebooted.
When my adapters did sync at lower speed, a quick re-sync of the driver would fix it. On Windows, Network Connections (Control Panel), double-click the adapter, Configure, Advanced tab, Speed & Duplex, switch it to "2.5 gig full" or "auto-negotiate", either will trigger the adapter to re-try its link to the TP-Link. On Linux, after boot, run: ethtool -s enx002341234567 autoneg on advertise 0x80000000002f (replacing the enx002... with your device name)
Ethernet Cables: My rooms have Jadaol flat Cat-6 cables that range in length from 1-foot to 25-feet, all worked with 2.5 gigabit. My home had professionally-installed Cat-6 in-wall cabling, with some cable lengths up to 40 feet long, all worked with 2.5 gigabit.
Is this worth the price:
If your Internet speed is more than 1 gigabit, then yes! If you transfer files between computers that have SSDs capable of more than 125 megabytes per second, then yes! Otherwise, no. One gigabit is plenty fast for nearly everyone's needs. If you do buy one, you can keep your existing 1 gig switch for your gigabit devices, and plug your multi-gigabit devices into one of these TP-Link 2.5 giggers.

If you do buy one, you can keep your existing 1 gig switch for your gigabit devices, and plug your multi-gigabit devices into one of these TP-Link 2.5 giggers.
No GUI - no management. Just plug in the power, plug in your devices, and get networking. Can't be much easier. If you need fancy configuration options then this switch isn't for you.
When I first powered it on, I thought a jet plane was going to take off. The fans are very loud on initial power up. The switch does take quite a bit of time to boot - definitely not "instant on". Once the power-on cycle was complete, the fans did quiet down, although the speed does vary a bit even when on low speed. They make a bit of a howling noise (like wind) that wavers in frequency; this switch is next to my desk and the sound is a bit annoying - not loud, but the variation keeps you hearing it. If this switch were farther away, I probably wouldn't even hear it.
I like that all ports work at all speeds. I'm using some 2.5G and some 10G devices and everything seems to be working as expected.
PROS:
Easy to set up, can't be simpler
8 ports that all can work at any speed: 100, 1000, 2.5G, 5G, or 10G
Rack mountable (you have to install the ears)
CONS:
Fans a bit annoying with varying howling sound (not loud, just varying)
No GUI, no configuration
LED lights over network ports are a bit dim, but at least they're not blinding
No lights to indicate activity - just link speed
If you need a switch to interconnect different speed devices, this one will do the trick. Other competitors may only have a couple of 10G ports, or they might support 1000 and 10G, but not 2.5G or 5G.
I've been using TP-Link switches for years in my home lab and they offer a good selection of products and they always perform as expected. You're not paying a high price just for a fancy brand label or advertising.
