Should probably add "Omada" to the title. That's pretty important to some people!

I have the SG2428P version of this, which is quite loud. Don't recommend a switch like this unless you absolutely need it and can install it somewhere you can't hear it. I would never install it in the same room I sleep in. I would also be annoyed if this was installed in my homelab or the room where I work.

I'm also having several issues with it. First it has started to overheat and completely shuts down without warning, which is bad since my WAP and cameras are attached to it! This has happened twice in the few weeks I've been using it.

Second, I started experiencing daily Internet outages that I'm still diagnosing. My network was completely fine for over a year, but since adding this switch, the outages started. I can't rule out the switch since it had that overheating issue.

Not sure if others have issues but that's my story.

If its new like you say, contact support (or your retailer). Overheating indicates something is wrong. The noise might also point to this.
Personally any rack mount device I think is too loud for working in the same room because the fans are so small they need to spin at high rates to move air. To me, that's too loud. But if something is wrong with the fans of your switch then they might be making extra noise, and the overheating indicates them running at 100%.
I've seen these in a few small businesses and they worked great without any issue.

I'd skip this unless you need poe+. No point in buying something you'll upgrade in a few years.
Newer devices that are affordable are now arriving with 2.5gbe connections. Decent motherboards in the $120-150 range normally include it now, so we aren't talking about the premium $499 boards here. As an example, on SD today there is a cpu, motherboard, and ram deal for $600. The board has 2.5gbe. This stuff is getting affordable now. Link: https://slickdeals.net/f/19155241-amd-ryzen-7-7800x3d-asus-b650e-e-tuf-gaming-wifi-am5-crucial-pro-overclocking-32gb-ddr5-6000-kit-599-99?attrsrc=UserFlow%3ADealFeed%3AFor+You&src=forYou


Internet access is also speeding up a lot. The majority of people in the US have internet above 1 gbps available. It might be expensive now, but in a few years it will likely be normal. 5 years ago the base internet plans offered to me were 100mbps. Today the cheap $35 dollar plan is 500 mbps, 1 gbps is $65, and 2 gbps is $120.


I revamped my network recently. I bought a used TEG 30262 switch, 24 gig ethernet ports and importantly 4 SFP+ 10 gbps cages. It cost $69 shipped. I also bought a 8x2.5gbe with 1xSFP+ cage switch for $67. Throw in a 10gb DAC for the SFP+ to link the switches at 10 gig, cost $13.
This gives me 8 2.5gbe ports and 24 1gbe ports for older/slower devices that won't benefit from 2.5g, but allows me to link my main pc and other important devices at a higher speed. It also allows me an upgrade path in the future to internet speeds above 1 gbps. The switches are also fanless and quiet. The whole upgrade cost about $150, so pretty cheap.

Is it centrally managed like the OP's switch? If not, then your solution is not a true comparison, is it?

I've had one of these for 15 years. It's been a great switch. I've only lightly used the smart switch features and primarily use it for PoE cameras in our network. We have it in a rack with 2 additional tplink 48 port smart switches of the same vintage.
These are VERY loud when they start up but are not too bad once they have booted up. I certainly wouldn't want one in a bedroom. They are definitely designed for a server closet.
I've had no issues with any of the tp-link smart switches in those 15 years.

I have a Ubiquiti 48 port 1GbE POE++ switch and a Ubiquiti 48 port 2.5GbE POE+ switch. Both are in a rack in my kids' bedroom. You can barely hear them in the dead of night.

People like me who refuse to use WiFi unless absolutely necessary. Just about everything is internet enabled these days. TVs, A/V receivers, audio amplifiers, DVD/Blu-ray players, media streamers, security cameras, etc.

You won't use wifi? What's the issue with wifi? How do you use your cellphone in your house? Do you think the cellular towers are better than the home internet? Are you afraid of big brother watching you? EEK! You use a USB-C to RJ-45 adapter to your phone at home?
I never said I won't use WiFi. I said I only use them when absolutely necessary.

WiFi cameras are useless when burglars use radio jamming equipment now. WiFi signals are notoriously bad in older homes with plaster and lath walls. The higher the frequencies (as in the higher bandwidth bands), the worse the range. Roaming in a mesh systems is still not nearly as good as a hard line. The more devices you have on WiFi, the slower it gets.

The only advantage wireless has over a wired connections is convenience of not being physically tied to one location. Wired connections are superior to WiFi in every metric. And yes, I do use a USB to RJ45 dongle. Not for my phone, but for my laptops. I don't really use my phone at home other than phone calls a text messaging. Only time I use a USB to RJ45 dongle on my phone is to use the internet sharing feature on my phone when I do VPN testing or when my ISP is having issues.

Access points, how many do you have? Probably overkill like most for streaming Netflix for your kids. Cameras? Hmmm. again maybe if you have 15, do you need that many? Phones use WIFI so you don't need it for that. Is everyone using USB-C/Lightning to RJ-45 adapters with a 50ft cable to this? No, it doesn't add up fast for people at home. IP phones? Are we in 2015? Do you have 10? shake head

Not every product is meant for you.

Plenty of people have switches like this, and more, in their homes.


Yes, I have over a dozen cameras. Yes, I have a few (5) wireless access points. No, IP phones, but 6 desktop PCs and a couple laptops (with docks).

Just checking my interface and listing some of the large uses.

AV equipment is a chunk of it:
7 Apple TVs
2 projectors
2 AV receivers
Sonos

Smart home equipment:
Philips Hue
Some smart sensors with adapters to power the USB devices
2 Envisalink security devices
Solar panel monitoring
