Ubiquiti EdgeSwitch 8, 8-Port Managed PoE+ Gigabit Switch with SFP, 150W (ES-8-150W),White

1. Just be sure you know the difference between the US-8-150w and ES-8-150w. Both are similar, but if you have existing Unifi/Ubiquiti wireless gear - you will want the other model (US-8/white). If not, then you want this one (ES-8/black). Both are excellent, but only if you get the one better suited for your network. 2. There isnt much that this switch cant do - and for the price - its phenomenal: All 8 ports are GB and POE+ (and you have 2 additional SFP ports), LAG, VLANs, Ping Watchdog (if POE device fails to respond it will cycle power on the port), STP, etc. 3. You can configure it via Web interface or SSH/command line or not at all. Plug it up and by default it will get a DHCP ip address and work as a regular switch.

Works perfectly if you dont actually need an Enterprise switch. I use it to power a few AP for my office that has video conferencing, VPN data compiling coding, streaming movies, Gaming. never any errors in its log.

Work great, use these with the nano stations to beam internet wherever I cant run cable. Incredible setup

Really like this piece of equipment. For me it was very easy to setup. I like the user interface.

Ive grown dissatisfied with the Unifi line. Ubiquiti is not listening to users and the Unifi controller has been rocky lately. Multiple interface changes, feature breaking firmware updates etc. These switches do run hot but I converted from the Unifi line which runs just as hot. Did not want to have to run a controller and constantly update firmware anymore for advanced home gear. Love this design though. It is rock solid hardware-wise, the new interface is simple but that is not a bad thing... It does everything I need it to. Superb switch that will run for a long time. I do wish Ubiquiti had more options for 48v and newer POE standards in their smaller Edgeswitches... Most only offer 24v other than this one. I was able to convert all my Unifi gear to these switches and the TP-Link EAP245 access points for little cost other than time spent selling off my old gear. Broke even, no more controller needed and even better performance!

Cant go wrong with UBNT products..especially their Edge line. Im not a fan of their toughswitch line, as they get really hot and can fail. For the price, you cant beat this switch with Layer 3 capability and SFP ports.

I have no idea why ubiquiti requires you to telnet into the switch first and enable the gui This makes the whole thing a pain in the a** since it states nowhere in the instructions you have to do that to get to the gui just do it the way it is done on all switches have the gui enabled this is not a recommended switch for what you have to go through to make it work shame on you ubiquiti

The best bang for the buck. Endless configurations and information if you want it. Runs silent and temperature stable. No crashes and easy on the eyes.

What an incredible little switch! Ive been running one of the 24-port EdgeSwitch products for a few months now and I loved it. I needed a small PoE switch for a closet downstairs to run some IP Cameras which require PoE. My two main options were this or a Netgear ProSafe 8-port switch, also with 2 SFP ports. I decided to go with this switch, and I cannot complain at all! I had it up and operational within 5-8 minutes without any problem or hesitation! Ive had it going for just shy of 4 weeks now without a single issue. It stays pretty cool, even with 5 ports PoE going! My only gripe about this is that the interface can slow down pretty significantly sometimes, but it frankly doesnt matter when the hardware itself doesnt. I cannot recommend this hardware enough!

This is a great little switch. Very much like it.
