Ok, I got flamed for saying 5 port gigabit switches are a little outdated in the big 26, but a 24 port 1 gig switch is just sad. That's not modern and this is enthusiast gear I can only assume.
I get what you're saying, if this is being framed as enthusiast gear, fine. My worry is that once 1Gb gets labeled "not serious," the cheap, boring, reliable stuff is what disappears first.A lot of real setups still don't have gig+ internet or devices that benefit from more than 1Gb, and these switches solve those problems cleanly. I'd be pretty annoyed if practical, affordable gear vanished just because "future-proof" became the only lens people use. Then all of a sudden my 5 port gig switch options go from $8 to $40 for a 2.5 I can't even get benefit from.

Thought we'd be seeing 2.5's for this price now, but I guess not.

I think the reality is that this is a nice little switch for someone in a regular sized home. Most devices even if they are gigabit capable won't hit that speed frequently at the same time to saturate the uplink. This isn't for enterprise networks. Even on an enterprise network I see places where they still have many users on 100 meg ports with a 1 gig uplink. For general office work / home network, this covers 99% of most people's needs, so I'm not sure what's sad about that

What I don't understand is why you don't see more 2.5g switches that are also POE+. Unless you go ubiquiti it looks they all tend to be one or the other.

everything should be 10G switches by now.
10G often requires special cabling, but 2.5GB can generally be run in Cat5e that people already have in their homes.

I get that it seems odd that in 2026 we're still buying unmanaged gigabit switches from TP-Link like it's 2008. It seems like we should have 10G wired up everywhere by now.
But the truth is, these are small, quiet, and sufficient for nearly all home and small business tasks. It has no fan, so unless it ends up with some kind of electrical hum, it's silent. It has non-blocking ports so each port gets the full 1Gbps which is still enough for just about any single device that isn't a NAS or server. Netflix only recommends 25Mbps for 4k streaming, this thing could populate every port to a TV and load up the highest quality streaming on each of them without breaking 5% usage.
I also have seen these TP-link ones operate in offices, on the floor, in a rats nest of cables, covered in dust operating for a decade. So it's basically impossible to kill too.
So i get your point, but 65 bucks is still an amazing deal to set up basic hardwire switching for an entire house or office.

only thing I've seen kill them is minor weather based power inconsistencies take out a port or 2 with the others still going.

Am I the only one that wants the power and ethernet ports on the same side?

Agreed, this is good for 99% of home users. Sometimes you just need a lot of ports.

Even with being a tech enthusiastic, I only have half a dozen devices that even support faster than 1 gig, and unless I'm doing a backup to my NAS, no more than a single device is fully saturating my wired bandwidth at once. If you're a wfh video editor or running a dozen cam 4k security system, yes, this is inadequate for your needs. It's not like more capable equipment doesn't exist, it's just not needed by the average person so it costs more.

I use a 16 port one to connect up my printer, my IP phone, TV, etc. I come off of this to run a line from the modem downstairs to the equipment in the entertainment center. I also have a desktop computer that is also a Plex server. No need to run everything via wifi.
