TP-Link 8 Port Gigabit Switch | L2 Managed w/ Console Port | 2 SFP Slots | Rackmount | Limited Lifetime Protection | Support L2/L3/L4 QoS, IGMP and LAG | IPv6 and Static Routing (T2500G-10TS)

What can I say? It's a managed switch with all of the features I needed. It worked exactly as I expected out of the box. The only thing to note is that I also have a TP-Link router, which defaults to 192.168.0.1 for the web GUI. This switch also defaults to the same IP, so I changed my router IP to be able to log into the switch on 192.168.0.1.

I had this device working fine for over a year and just recently, I had to power down my equipment during a really bad storm. (Thanks Hurricane Sally)Once I powered everything back on, I noticed only the default VLAN (1) was able to reach any devices, both internally and out to the internet.I was able to narrow down the issue to this switch (I have 3 TP-Link managed switches in my setup) and started looking at the config and everything looked correct.I rebuilt all of the VLAN's, factory reset the switch and even restored the firmware and nothing fixed the issue.Overall, I think TP-Link makes good products, but it just sucks that this happened after having the product for only about a year.

Great switch!

Easy to use and setup, installation and config was a breeze.Glad I replaced the plug and play dumb devices. I have options now! If you like options then try it out, you will be positively surprised.

Different hardware version of this switch do not run the same firmware. The latest ver. 1 upgrade is from 2017, which means that a newer version of this switch (ver. 2) has been out for at least 3 years. The latest firmware available for ver. 2 is from Nov-22-2019, but cannot be applied. IMHO it should be made very clear that this is not current hardware.
