I replaced an older Netgear 1G switch with this. I don't need to vlan or have multiple switches on spanning tree, so a "dumb" switch like this is ideal. Worked perfectly, as expected.

Good switch but not the PSU - needed to change the PSU after ~1 year.

Great switch and simple to use; just plug in cables! Hooked up to 1gig fiber and PC now gets 900+ mbps consistently.

I wanted an inexpensive Ethernet switch that offered at least 4-6 ports AND which had the ports on the back side of the unit with the status lights on the front. Enter this product which met all my criteria (and then some) for what I consider to be a resonance price. It’s literally a plug and play solution. Set up was east: Just plug one Ethernet cable into any of the rear ports and the other end of that cable into your router. Then plug the rest of your Ethernet cables into any of the other remaining open Ethernet ports on the back of this switch. Once all wires are connected, just plug in the power cord and power up the unit. Within a minute or two all lights were green - indicating all plugged devices were connected to the internet. Easy, simple and fast. What’s not to like.

I bought a Netgear unmanaged switch during Black Friday Sale. It was a good price but did not work with my Windows 11 PC. This Trendnet switched worked immideatly at my full internet speed!

Started having issues with my old switch so I looked into this one. Once it arrived it was a simple plug and play. Hooked my WiFi router up to it and works amazingly. I have Google Fiber with speeds of 2gbps and this switch works flawlessly for that.

I got this particular version (version v2.0R) of the switch as I was made aware that it consumes less power than the previous versions. The only place to get a switch like this is to import it from America so I purchased from Amazon US and it took about a week to arrive.The power supply that came with it obviously has the American plug prongs on it but it is easily replace by ones that fit in the desktop Netgear switches (which I happened to have a few).It was just a case of plug and play and then my NAS and my Mac Mini could communicate at the faster 2.5Gb to the rest of my devices.It works well and while it does feel a little warm while in use, it was nothing to be concerned about.

It feels solidly built, and the performance is great. There is not really a lot of heat generated either, and it just sits there nicely in my rack all day doing exactly what it needs to do and nothing more.

Although 2.5G switches are still a bit expensive, this one is priced well and is works great with no issues. Testing the throughput showed the full 2.5G with no dips or drops. It up/down links to other switches fine. There is no hum or coil whine. It only gets slightly warm, not anywhere near as hot as a cable gateway or Wifi router. The construction is solid with a metal housing and both mounting holes and rubber feet on the bottom. There are no flashy colors or logos. One thing I particularly like is that the network, LED, and power plug are on the same side. Cheaper switches have the power plug on the front, which would making cabling look messy. 9/10

This TEG-S82G GREENnet switch is sturdy, compact, solidly built and comes with a nice small efficient power supply. Once powered up, it connects all the occupied ports to my LAN quickly within a few seconds and the connections are fast and reliable.I tested data speeds through this switch and found that it operates at the very limit of my Gigabit Ethernet LAN. I could not find any instance where this switch throttled network throughput or affected the speed of network traffic. Admittedly, I have a small network that consists of only about 40 nodes, but some are security cameras that transmit a high volume of data on the network continuously and might decrease available bandwidth with other, less capable switches.My favorite feature is that these TRENDnet switches have their status lights on the front face of the case and the ports and power connection on the back. This makes them perfect for sitting on a desk in a home network and allowing all the cabling to fall behind the desk out of the way against the wall.I only have one gripe, hence the 4-star review. I have been using the older TRENDnet TEG-S80G switches for a while now and they, too, have provided reliable service. Recently, an older, well used switch faltered and limited the throughput on one port to T-100 speeds. Noticing the slowdown on the LAN, I was easily able to spot the cause because this older TRENDnet switch has two-state status lights on the front. Green for Gigabit connections and orange for T-100. Well, the faulty port was connected to a Gigabit device and yet the indicator showed only a T-100 link. This visual confirmation was simple and instant, and I was able to identify and replace the faulty switch easily.But, these new model TEG-S82G switches have only a single state status indicator on the front. It is green for any connection speed, and therefore not an indicator of LAN speed for each port. Once you connect a node, the indicator lights to indicate a connection and blinks as data it transmitted on that node, but there is no indication of the connection speed. I can no longer assess the quality of my LAN at a glance like I used to.
