I was looking at a bigger Mikrotik router for a similar purpose (10GB SFP/2.5GB copper) and this is cheap enough that even if it sucks balls it should work as a media converter. When I get a few bandwidth tests done I'll post on the Amazon page.

I've been considering upgrading my network to 2.5gbps, and this would be awesome to have the 10G backplane. For S&Gs I added two to my cart and the coupon did apply to both. Consider me shocked. I have to figure out the SFP parts and costs first.
"Coupon Expiry Date July 24, 2025" if you're also on the fence.
There's also a $10 off coupon on the $59.99 8 port version with only one 10G port.

Pulled the trigger on two of the 4-ports and one of the 9-ports. Then I remembered I had a 40% off Amazon business account promo. Ended up using my business account and got four of the 9-port units for ~$140 after $10 coupon and 40% off.

Highly YMMV as I'm guessing many people don't have Amazon biz accounts or got that flyer/promo... but figured it might be a light bulb moment for someone else as well.

Going to replace the four 8-port gig switches. I use them in conjunction with 2.5GB (max) throughput MoCA adapters. My NAS two floors down has 2.5GB connectivity.... so when we push/pull to that, I'm hoping we can take advantage of the 2.5GB.

If I recall correctly, since it's all INTRANET traffic, it shouldn't be bottlenecked by my router... and I'm HOPING my ethernet jacks where I have hardwire running from my basement to main level through the wall isn't using basic gig keystones. If it is, I'm guessing I'll be bottlenecked by those.

I love this. 2.5gbps is happening! Wish there was broader adoption of 10gbps over copper though!

I've got nothing against this brand, and this switch seems to be unmanaged but offers VLAN capabilities according to the details on Amazon which seems unusual. I can't imagine what a security nightmare these unbranded switches, usb dongles, or USB sticks could be causing on someone's network. I mean there is no support or real company behind them. Who knows what their chips are doing or what malware could be on them. I personally would never plug this into my internal network. I would stick to a name brand everything computer and additionally verify the seller at minimum— when it comes to plugging into your network or computer.

You would be correct, the gig keystones will end up being the bottleneck. Also passively a 2.5 to 2.5 connection on a NAS actually increases performance of the NAS read/write speeds, surprisingly the platters are not the limiting factor but the gig port on a NAS. Also as you mentioned your in network performance will drastically increase since it by passes the router.

Amazon has some 10G SFP+ to RJ45 for around $24, can probably get them even cheaper on temu or ali but probably longer to ship.

A bit new to that... but at quick glance, I'm guessing this would connect to my NAS, thereby allowing for 10G speeds from my NAS ... which I could then output through the 10GB ports on this switch?

Which -- it just hit me -- I'd run into a 2.5G bottleneck once I hit our livingroom anyway. Anything downstream of that on the upper floors is connected via MoCA. I don't do a lot of heavy PC lifting on my NAS -- mostly just movie viewing via Plex on my Shield TVs. 1G seems to work fine, but having a bit of additional headroom for that couldn't hurt. Also, potentially doubling my file transfer speed to/from my NAS would be welcome (even though I'm not doing video editing directly from it).

Rough sketch of my network attached. Essentially, the cable internet signal (gig down / 40 meg upload) hits my house in the basement. Modem hits the router which passes it an 8-port switch. One of the outputs of the switch goes to my NAS (and my Shield TV); another output goes to an ethernet wall switch with an ethernet cable buried in the wall / ceiling which then exits out of the wall one floor up in our livingroom. To get it to the next level up / upstairs, I went the 2.5G MoCA route. One at the origination point in the livingroom; one in my upstairs bedroom and one in my "home office" where I do most of my PC use. We do have Sheild TVs in the bedroom, livingroom, and office (in addition to the basement). So our weakest link is upstairs, but the MoCA does a yeoman's job and I get 800+ down in my office (I think my cable modem caps out around 900 meg -- hardware limitation). So I'm pretty much saturating my INTERNET connection. But since my MoCA adapters are capped at 2.5G, even if I feed 10G at the source (basement), I'm not going to be able to enjoy it all the way downstream due to the MoCA limitations.

Thanks and repped for the advice, tho.

I'm experiencing speed limitations with my MoCA setup. My home network uses 2.5G MoCA adapters connected to 2.5G switches, and both my NAS and PC have 2.5G network adapters. However, when transferring large files (~40GB), I'm not achieving 2.5Gbps speeds in either direction. Has anyone encountered similar issues or have suggestions to optimize performance? Thanks.

Anyone have experience with SFP getting hot? That's my concern from what I've read
