I wanted to leave a review for this item mainly due to the fact that i had been looking for a networking solution for my household for some time and had been unable to find one that would adequately satisfy what i needed until i found this item. To say that i am happy with the purchase (at $15.99 i wasnt actually expecting much more than a low end item, which was fine since im on a budget at the moment) would be a huge understatement, This thing is amazing, after connecting it to my router via an ethernet cable the rest was history. not only was the "Gigabit Managed Switch easy on the pocketbook it also wen well above and beyond what i thought was going to be low end piece of electronics, This switch not only handles all of my home networking needs but itsd also easy to control and adjust through its IP based user interface as well as an easy to use app for my phone. Ive added a few pictures but the important one is the screenshot of the speed test that i took after connecting everything, i have 1G internet, while connecting through wifi it usually stayed at about half of what the speed test shown which isn't bad but this is much better. Okay now that all of that is said, i would just like to end with the fact that i highly recommend this item to anyone who needs an easy-to-use and setup network managed switch for there home (or anywhere i imagine), Not only was it affordable but it got to me quickly and it fitsd all my needs. Thanks!!!

GS116v1Despite the reviews saying "no local admin" I took a chance. The truth is the 16 port version has a front panel switch to lock it to local web or cloud admin. The switch has the advertised port to port speeds, and plenty of features for the home lab or very small business network. 802.1q vlan/trunk, STP, and port mirroring capabilities are present but no SNMP and no syslog. Port 80 is open for the web gui, plan accordingly.Setup:By default when plugged into your network the switch will acquire an ip configuration from whatever device is managing your network i.e. Wifi router in most cases. By default there is no password, it will force you to set one on first access.(If you do not want to plug it into your network until configured TFTP64d is a good solution for setting up a temporary dhcp server on a PC.)Congratulations if you purchased this, it is a good switch at an amazing price.

The ad description didn't mention anything about if the device came with its own power adapter, so I wasn't sure if it would work for me since I don't have a POE device to provide power. It did come with a power adapter, so I was able to power it up. It works straight out of the box, just plug a RJ45 wire from your Internet router to the switch (i used port 1) and it will start working. Make sure your cables to your devices support 1000mbps or you will not get the full speed of switch. Now my speed tests I don online show my speed maxes out at 500mbps which is what my current service plan provides. This is a good product. If you want to access its administration page, you can do it before you plug in your internet cord by plugging in your pc and going to 10.0.0.10 IP address in your browser. If you have your internet cable plugged into the switch you need to find the IP assigned to the switch to access the administration page. You can use a free program like Advanced IP Scanner to find the IP address of the switch. None of this is explained in the setup paper, so it can be confusing if you are not familiar with working with network switches. Still a great price and a great piece of hardware.

This is a very decent little switch that we picked up while it was on sale. Since we are an IT business, we have quite a few switches that cost far more and do far less than this little guy does, so, we would not hesitate to recommend this to someone looking for a decent managed switch on the cheap.

This was a huge waste of time.You have to contact the company (as another reviewer pointed out) via email to get updated firmware so you can actually have local control over the switch (as opposed to cloud-only via a phone app). I knew this going in and firewalled off the switch itself from the outside before even putting it on my network for good measure.What you won't find out until setting it up is it has no options that any other 802.1Q capable switch has for setting up tagged VLANs. Tagging is *the* core feature of 802.1Q.It also has no options for assigning 802.1Q PVIDs to ports, something all of my other switches have (and it's fairly important for preventing your non-802.1Q devices from falling back to the wrong VLAN).I asked the company how to set up the switch with a specific (fairly common) example VLAN config that I'm already using on multiple other switches and my router and their terse response was: "Our switch only supports TRUNK and ACCESS."I asked if there was possibly a language translation problem as "access" doesn't make sense in this context (exact question), and received no response.I returned it to Amazon. There are many more out there that are far better with much better support (I have several).Shop around and look at screenshots of the menus.

I recently upgraded my network setup by replacing my old 5-port switch with the STEAMEMO 8 Port Gigabit Switch. So far, it's been a smooth transition. The switch is easy to set up and offers reliable performance.The additional ports have significantly improved my network's capacity, allowing me to connect more devices without any issues. The gigabit speeds are noticeable, especially when transferring large files.Overall, I'm quite satisfied with this purchase. The STEAMEMO 8 Port Gigabit Switch is a solid choice for anyone looking to expand their network capabilities.
