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

I’ve been working from home since 2018 and never got around to segmenting my home network. Finally got this switch to put all the devices in my office on separate VLANs to keep my work, IoT, and home devices away from each other.

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.

Everything looked fine with the switch during testing, but when put under load of a tower, it would run and work for about an hour, then loose all VLAN settings and rename itself to ERROR-A12. Opened a ticket with Ubiquiti support and they say it is defective. I have another identical switch in another tower and it works fine. But this one is garbage.

Purchased the Edgeswitch-8-150w in May 2017 and I have been using the full array of 8 Ethernet Ports (4x PoE+, 2x 24v and 2 Non-Powered Devices) and 2 SFP Ports for quite some time now and it hasnt failed me. I also appreciate the fact you can change From PoE+ to 24v From the GUI for Passive PoE Devices. And there was a firmware update that simplified and streamlined the configuration options for the switch. Update: Purchased in May 2017 No Longer Boots in 30/5/2021 and no way to repair it. Failed after 4 years unfortunately.

Excellent device, supports all major protocols and technologies out there. Must have if you need passive and poe+ on the same device with tons of features.

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!

Do yourself a favor and get the latest firmware. The classic interface is a nightmare to navigate. The switch works wonderfully well though.

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

Great switch, feature packed, quiet, I love it

I bought the Ubiquiti EdgeMax router a while back and was impressed. Had an old Cisco 2960 10/100 switch and some PoE injectors running the wired portion of my house. Got rid of 4 injectors and the old switch and replaced with this one unit. EASY setup and management! Saw my PoE devices and auto configured the power settings. Small footprint and VERY quiet. Great hardware and a decent feature set.
