The FS S3400-48T4SP is a 48-port PoE+ L2 managed switch that the manufacturer has made available a couple of years ago and yes, there is a newer version called the S3410-48TS-P which does come with some improvements, such as bigger PoE budget or hot-swappable power supplies. But the price tag is also significantly higher, so, […]

The FS S3910-24TS is the mid-range Ethernet switch model from the S3910 series, so it is slightly better equipped than the S3910-24TF which I tested a year ago, but below its 48-port sibling. And, as expected, all three models share some fundamental features. One of the most important technology is the ability to stack up […]

The FS S2800S-8T smart managed L2+ switch is one of the most compact Ethernet switches that I tested so far and, as expected, it was developed to cater to small business networks and even for home use. This proves that FS does also focus on the needs of the users outside the enterprise-level market, but […]

The FS S3150-8T2FP has a lot in common with the FS S3410-10TF-P, which was the junior member of the L2+ fully managed Pro series and, besides the robust software features (plus the similarity with Cisco equipment), it was also able to handle quite a few PoE+ devices. The FS S3150-8T2FP is very similar in that […]

The EnGenius ECS2512FP is the entry-level PoE++ Ethernet switch from the Multi-Gig series and I realize that it may sound like an understatement because the device has eight 2.5GbE Ethernet ports, four 10Gbps SFP+ slots and the full support for the EnGenius Cloud management platform. Furthermore the PoE++ (802.3bt) support ensures that the EnGenius ECS2512FP […]

The TP-Link TL-SG2210P went through several significant changes over the years, starting from the almost six year old first version that was designed to power up multiple PoE devices, as well as provide some fairly basic management options up to the latest version which is v4. I do not have the version 4, but the […]

The Zyxel MG-108 is the better equipped model from the new 2.5GbE unmanaged desktop switch series that has been seemingly designed for small and medium businesses, but the compact design and the 2.5Gbps limitation per port may also make it suitable for home use. How so, you may ask? Well, the WiFi 6 standard has […]

The TRENDnet TPE-LG80 is an 8-port PoE+ Ethernet switch, recently released by the California-based manufacturer as part of its new Long Range series which focuses towards ensuring that the PoE+ signal can be extended up to 656 feet while maintaining a multi-megabit throughput (10 Mbps full duplex) – by default, PoE can usually reach only […]

The Zyxel GS1920-8HP (v2) is a Cloud-ready Smart Ethernet switch which can be controlled and monitored in stand-alone mode or as part of a larger network (on multiple sites) using the Nebula Cloud management platform. As you may have noticed, the GS1920-8HP is part of a refreshed series of Ethernet switches, but, despite carrying the […]

The Zyxel NSW100-10P is a PoE Ethernet switch which was built specifically to take full advantage of the Zyxel Nebula management interface and to work alongside other compatible devices (such as gateways, wireless access points or other Ethernet switches). Zyxel has also made available the GS1920 hybrid Ethernet switches series (which includes the GS1920-10HP) that […]
