Mike Perry — Hardware researcher since 2014. For home networking and Wi-Fi gear, synthesises manufacturer specs and independent reviews rather than first-hand lab testing. Core beat: GPU performance across gaming, rendering, and local-LLM inference.

Pros & Cons

Pros

  • ✓ 60Gbps switching capacity handles all ports at full duplex
  • ✓ Runs 2.5Gbps over existing Cat5e - no rewiring needed
  • ✓ Fanless metal chassis: silent, no moving parts to fail
  • ✓ Auto MDI/MDIX, backward compatible with 10/100/1000Mbps gear

Cons

  • ✗ Unmanaged - no VLANs, LACP, port mirroring or web UI
  • ✗ SFP slot needs a separate 10G transceiver, not included
  • ✗ No PoE, so APs and cameras still need their own power
  • ✗ 1-year warranty trails the 3-5 years bigger switch brands offer
