The device has been working flawlessly with my Peplink router, Geekom IT13 and NAS system!

I really like this switch. It has all the great management features you would want, the GUI makes sense, VLANs work as expected, it has POE, and it's got a great slim form factor for wall mounting and getting it out of the way. Comes with the screws necessary to wall mount as well.

Although I've only had this for a couple days, I can report setup was a breeze. It does take a bit to understand things are defined, but if you read through the manual, the information is there, if terse. Once you get the hang of it, VLANs using /q are a easy to define. Haven't dug into qos, link aggregation or mirroring, but the setup seems simple enough. They are just not part of my use case. At this price point there is no competition. Except perhaps m*krotik.

Here's why I got one for my personal use. - 2.5Gb and 10Gb WAN capability - 5Gb IPS routing (IPS on most of their low end routers is bad.) - Built in storage for camera video - Rock solid Ubiquiti reputation

UniFi compatible and suited to the kinds of awful environmental conditions the old Ubiquiti Tough Switch Pro was perfect for. Being managed by UniFi rather than UISP simplifies the network, so it's GREAT to have this niche filled. Surprisingly useful to have more ports, didn't know we needed them until we had the option.

The switch has a very heavy and quality feel to it. POE+ works great with my cameras, and wireless access points.

The obvious question is why one would purchase this card over the far cheaper options. Generic 1Gbps NICs can be had for just over a tenth the cost, while Intel's desktop varieties run less than half the price of this card. Leaving aside the cheapest cards - ones I've found to cause more problems with data corruption and reliability than it's worth - the main reason to go with a server card is if you will be loading it heavily. If you're running your own datacenter, power-saving features such as EEE and DMA coalescing are handy, but that likely doesn't apply to most potential customers for this NIC. The I210T1 does an even better job at offloading calculations than previous generation NICs.Saturate a full 1Gbps connection with multiple streams and you'll see CPU usage drop in comparison to what it is with desktop cards. We put this card in a workstation to replace the on-board Realtek NIC. System CPU time dropped by 20-30% under very heavy network loads after switching to the I210T1. Another benefit to the I210T1 - and a possible reason to upgrade to this new model - is Audio Video Bridging (AVB) support. When working on projects where multiple media streams need to be perfectly synchronized, AVB worked wonders. Older NICs simply could not keep everything synced perfectly. We needed to work on 10Gbps connections instead. Being able to accomplish the same feat with a much cheaper card is great! The I210T1 is tiny. It fits easily even in systems with bulging heatsinks and video cards.

Easy installation. Had to download software, but no problem there. I really noticed a difference in the smoothness and speed of internet. I had never used an Nec , but I'm glad I did.

- Couldn't believe the amazing performance of this unit right out of the box! I received the rated 1.2GB/s out of the box. No configuration necessary. - It comes with RouterOS & SwitchOS built-in. You can use this as a router? That's insane. I most likely won't be, but knowing the possibility is there is pretty neat.

Silent and cool with plenty of room for power requirements with my PoE network cameras.

Super easy setup. Plenty of POE ports.

Fast performance and PoE+/++ out of the box! Small footprint and overall a performance beast for my network
