it's ok good quality

I was initially hesitant to buy the YuanLey 6 Port 2.5G PoE Switch since it’s a no-name brand, and I wasn’t sure about its performance. However, after looking for alternatives, I realized there aren’t many options offering 2.5G PoE ports with 10G uplinks for under $200. At this price point, this switch is an incredible deal!The switch arrived quickly, and I was pleasantly surprised by the build quality—it’s solid and easily on par with brands like TP-Link. Since it’s unmanaged, setup was a breeze—just plug and play, no configuration headaches.Out of the box, the switch worked perfectly. I’m using it with my Ubiquiti UDM-SE and U7 Pro access points, and everything runs smoothly. It’s been stable and reliable so far, even with heavy traffic.For anyone needing a budget-friendly 2.5G PoE switch with 10G uplinks, I highly recommend this one. It performs well, feels durable, and is an excellent choice for the price. Don’t let the no-name brand scare you—it’s worth it!

With the switch being not one of the big names, I was hesitant but its price was far better than managed switched, and VLAN pass-through made it good enough at a much better price than say a Ubiquiti which was well over 4x the cost.All my PoE devices get power and pass traffic without issues, even at 2.5G. I did have to force 802.11at as my AP's were defaulting to 802.11af which was needed for higher performance. This was done in the AP and it wasn't clear if this is an issue by the AP or the switch, but all signs point to the switch. Manually setting the AP's to 802.11at didn't cause any issues however and I am getting the full speed out of all three AP's I have plugged into the switch.I have not had any issues with random power cycling and performance seams to be great. I have yet to test the SFP+ port as a back-haul due to my main switch being picky with modules and I"m not willing to entertain its idiosyncrasies.

So I needed a POE switch that I could rack mount into my case to connect my poe ptz cameras on stage to the main control position. I chose this one as gave double the amount of ports I'd need (giving me scope for future additions) and also gave me the ability to add in fibre connectivity to further increase the speed and transfer bandwidth between switches.It's well made with its metal chasis, comes complete with rack ears and i love that it has an iec connection on it rather than going down the route of an external power brick. Transfer speeds via both the network ports and the fibre port installed (need to add a fibre card into the available slots) have also been great.All in all it's a fantastic value switch thats handy to have in the kit bag or rack.

Ordered this but then had to put it aside for a month before I could install it. Turned out to be DOA. Contacted support and after a couple of emails back and forth to troubleshoot, they confirmed it was dead. Since I was outside of the return window they had me order a new one then refunded the purchase. Stellar support!The new switch works beautifully. Nice and fast, and it's really nice not needing multiple discrete POE injectors cluttering up my little server rack!

Great little switch. I have two of them know, PoE works perfectly. It is also compatible with QSFPTEK 10GBase-T RJ45 SFP+ and H!Fiber SFP+ transceivers.

Read 5 star review by Book Guru on Amazon for more Information (1/17/2023). I agree with every thing he says, But I need to add more information that he did not mention.Cons 1. Document included with box is a only a quickstart guide. BUT I discovered that the MokerLink24 Port POE+ switch appears to be Identical. I was able to download from the Mokerlink website the 192 page user manual and the 492 page CLI user guides. pretty extensive documentation. And the commands I used, works on this switch. Yaunley should provide complete documentation for the products they sell.PROS * supports upto 8 LAG's (link aggregation groups) - I was able to aggregate 2 1000M switch ports to 2 1000M ports on my Zyxel NAS. - I was able to aggregate 2 Combo ports to 2 ports on my TP-Link Router. This provided better performance form my security cameras when accessing my NAS and the DVR. * The web interface is extensive - The Status system information screen is useful for a quick look at connectivity - The Port->Port Setting screen has a table that shows all of the current link status. this Helped me find and fix a Auto 10M half duplex problem with one of my devices. You can also edit the Port and add descriptons like Computer;Camera,Printer. Or you can manually enable/disable a port. - The Poe Setting->Poe Port Setting has a Port Set Table that has information and editable optionNotes * You can use the rack mounting ears to mount the switch on a wall ( as shown in the quickstart guide)Notes: * Power settings status screen shows POE usage in mW, V and mA which is very useful but, you do need to mentally convert MilliWatts to Watts, for example 11934 mW is really 11.934 watts * To set the time on the switch (important for reviewing logs) I used SNTP. You have to use your time Zone's UTC value . I use UTC-8:00 for my time zone and had to manually enter the SNTP server hostname which for me is time.nist.gov. * I had to manually enable and enter a the Default DNS server. inorder for traceroute and ping to work on the switch. Dynamic DHCP did appear to enable DNS. * There are lots of options and security settings available for Professional installation locations, yet, it will work out of the box as a plug and play device, with the caveat that you should at least login to the switch and reset the admin password. I am very impressed with the switch, It is a real Bargain at 159.99.

Considerando la presenza di 8 porte Ethernet da 2,5 Gbps oltre a una porta SFP da 10 Gbps, il tutto con una notevole capacità di commutazione pari a 60 Gbps, il prezzo inferiore ai 100 euro è sicuramente un punto a favore cdi questo dispositivo. La mia soddisfazione è tale che, data la necessità di avere altre porte Ethernet, ho acquistato un secondo switch identico al primo.Con un semplice cavetto SFP+ a 10Gbps da pochi euro ho connesso i due switch con la porta SFP da 10 Gbps e la connssione è stata immediata e le prestazioni solide.Qualità dei materiali, gli assemblaggi e la realizzazione complessiva sono di buon livello. Confermo che anche il mio modello non è fornito di piedini in gomma e ha in dotazione un alimentazione con cavo saldato (anche se purtroppo non è di tipo USB-A).Le temperature di esercizio sono nella norma nonostante un utilizzo intensivo e i consumi non hanno mai superato i 10watt, in idle siamo a 2-3watt.Nonostante la presenza di ben 9 porte, le dimensioni (di 197x73x30mm) e il peso rimangono contenuti, con un design compatto . In conclusione, posso affermare con certezza che l'investimento in questi switch si è rivelato non solo conveniente dal punto di vista economico, ma anche soddisfacente in termini di prestazioni spero solo che durino nel tempo.Dimenticavo la cosa più importante, per avere prestazioni a 2,5Gbps è ovviamente avere tutta la catena a 2,5Gbps partendo dalle porte ethernet dei dispositivi fino i cavi di rete ed eventuali porte keystone.Con i dispositivi a mia disposizione , purtroppo non recentissimi, sono riuscito a fare trasferimenti su singola porta intorno ai 2Gbps, mi riservo di fare ulteriori test quando avrò a disposizione dell'hardware più aggiornato.

This review is about the YuanLey 24 port L2+ managed switch, model YS2444GSM-P. I am starting the review with a short summary of the pros and cons of this switch.Pros:• Completely silent, i.e. no fans• Runs cool with my current setup, i.e. 8 PoE cameras and a few non-PoE devices• Supports IEEE802.3af (PoE, max. 15.4W) and IEEE802.3at (PoE+, max. 30W)• Shows power consumption for each PoE port• Multiple ways to configure the router incl. web portal and command line• Total of 300W gives a lot of headroom for most applications• U1 size to fit into a U1 rack• Good getting started guide• All settings are self-explanatory (if you know networking)• Good response from customer service• Very good packaging• 10 screws for ‘ears’, i.e. two spare screwsCons:• No documentation beyond the starting guide. Not even anywhere online on YuanLey’s website.I had a noisy and unmanaged 16 port PoE switch. I was looking for a switch thata) Supports PoE on all ports. Some switches only support PoE on certain portsb) Supports VLANsc) Does not have any fans, i.e. guaranteed to be silentThere are some “smart” switches that allow creating VLANs but officially VLANs belong to the network layer 2 (L2). Hence, I was looking for a L2 switch. Most L2(+) switches that have 16 or more PoE ports have fans. Hence, my above criteria limited the selection considerably. YuanLey was one of the few switches that met all of those criteria and then some.The included “User Manual” is really just a short quick guide. It’s not perfect English but still easy to understand and much better than the user guides you get from many other Chinese companies, if those other companies even include one. I scanned the user guide and included the scans in this review for reference. Unfortunately, this “User Manual” is all you get. There is no help feature built into the web portal of the switch. YuanLey also doesn’t have a downloadable manual on their well-designed but very rudimentary website. This is the only negative aspect I could find about this switch. On the positive side, if you are familiar with managed switches and networking then most of the functions will be self-explanatory. Since there is no manual to download to get a better understanding what functions the switch includes, I took screenshots of each of the 16 main menus with the submenus expanded. These screenshots are included in this review.Most people seem to buy the YuanLey switches for its PoE capability in particular for surveillance cameras. Hence, I will mostly address that part. As mentioned in the specs, the switch supports both IEEE802.3af which is PoE with a maximum power consumption of 15.4W at the switch and IEEE802.3at which is PoE+ with a maximum power consumption of 30W at the switch. Note that there will be some voltage drop and this drop depends on the Ethernet cable used and the length of the cable. So the actual voltage and wattage at the connected device will be lower. According to the standard you should get a min of 44V/13W for PoE and 50V/25.5W for PoE+. For the ports I have connected the switch reports a voltage between 51V and 52V.A big plus factor for this switch is that it supports PoE on all 24 ports. When a PoE device is connected to a port the port settings web page will show if it uses the af standard or at standard. It also lists the actual power provided for each port as well as the total wattage consumed by the switch. The table can be automatically updated every 5s, 10s or 30s. Automated updates can also be disabled which is very useful when selecting the ports one wants to edit. Otherwise when you are in the middle of selecting the ports and a refresh happens the changes are lost. In that setting for each port there is the Watch Dog functionality, i.e. if the switch detects that the attached PoE device has an issue it can automatically reboot it. By default this features is disabled. I am not quite sure how the switch detects if a device requires rebooting. I suspect it monitors if the power consumption drops and if so it reboots the device.Many people are using these PoE switches for surveillance cameras. These cameras are notorious for being hacked which means someone could be watching what is happening in your house if you happen to have indoor cameras. The first thing one should do is disabling UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) on the “router”. UPnP allows cameras (and other devices) to open a port on the router which then allows the cameras to be hacked (pretty easily). Next, based on the MAC address of each camera, the router should block any communicating to and from the outside/internet. All of this has nothing to do with the switch but a switch with the capability to add VLANs adds another layer of security. So below I will address the VLAN capability of this switch.The easiest way to create VLANs is based on ports. The router also allows doing this based on OUIs (Organizationally Unique Identifier). An OUI is the first 24 bits of a MAC address and identifies a particular vendor. The switch has a voice VLAN and surveillance VLAN. The voice VLAN has predefined vendors, i.e. 3COM, Cisco, Veritel, Pingtel, Siemens, NEC/Philips, H3C and Avaya. One can also add additional OUIs. For the surveillance VLAN there are no predefined OUIs as there are so many vendors. However, one can easily do a reverse lookup on websites like https://ouilookup.com/ and https://www.wireshark.org/tools/oui-lookup.html The switch also allows creating VLANs based on protocol and MAC addresses. In my case I just kept it simple by just dedicating port 1-16 for my cameras. This can be easily done by manually creating a VLAN and then define which ports belong to that VLAN. My remaining 8 ports stayed on VLAN 1/default. With this approach the cameras are separated from the other devices that are connected to the other 8 ports.The switch also has a lot of other options and functions. People familiar with the knowledge of this level of networking can get some idea based on the included screenshots.
