TRENDnet 8-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

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.

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

This is a good quality, solidly built router. It was easy to setup and worked as described.

What’s to say? Is an eight port switch, I’m only using five for a 2g Google Fiber connection. Worked great for six months so far.

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.

These work great! Very much plug and play. I was even able to push 2.5 Gbps over all my Cate5e.

I replaced an older Netgear 1G switch with this. I don't need to vlan or have multiple switches on spanning tree, so a "dumb" switch like this is ideal. Worked perfectly, as expected.

Great switch and simple to use; just plug in cables! Hooked up to 1gig fiber and PC now gets 900+ mbps consistently.
