    5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome way to upgrade LAN transfer speeds
    Reviewed in the United States on June 12, 2021
    Style: QSW-1105-5TSize: 5-PortVerified Purchase
    This is wonderful for folks who regularly transfer large files between a small group of systems (eg PC to NAS, or transferring Chia plots)

    I've been using this for about half a year (pre-ordered it upon announcement).

    2.5Gbps automatically negotiates flawlessly among my 3 systems: a Windows 10 PC (Gigabyte x570 Aorus Xtreme motherboard), an unraid NAS server (Linux based, on a ASRock X570 phantom gaming x), and an Ubuntu system (Gigabyte x570 Aorus Master).

    Transferring large files between the systems can exceed 250-270MB/s consistently, max around 280. It's 2.5 times faster than my previous 1 gigabit connection; moving a 15 gigabyte file in less than 1 minute is such a massive networking quality-of-life improvement.

    The link to the internet remains unchanged, of course. 2.5Gbps is only limited to this internal cluster of devices connected directly to this switch.

    The physical design may not please everyone - indicator lights, cable ports, and DC-adapter port are all in front. But the metallic housing is sturdy, and heat dissipation isn't an issue. It doesn't run that hot - Tom's hardware measured peak power to be around 8W.

    Being the first batch, I was initially wondering if there might be nascent firmware issues, but I haven't noticed anything so far.

    Very happy with this!

    Reviewed in the United States on September 14, 2022
    Style: QSW-1108-8TSize: 8-PortVerified Purchase
    I bought this switch a couple of weeks ago and it has so far been solid. It runs just warm to the touch and it doesn't have any fans to make noise. Currently, I have 2 NAS devices and 3 PC's connected to it. I've done testing between the devices (using iperf3) and get approx. 2.37ish gbit's/sec consistently. Will do more testing with several devices running simultaneously and will update this review with my findings. So far everything is playing together happily. The price rose by 69 bucks just after I bought mine so maybe wait until Amazon (as seller) has more stock.

    1.0 out of 5 stars Overheats, slows down, and then dead within 24 hours (8-Port 2.5Gb Model)
    Reviewed in the United States on March 1, 2023
    Style: QSW-1108-8TSize: 8-PortVerified Purchase
    My experience with this switch is it will get slightly hot after starting up a large transfer (takes about 15 minutes or so), throttle back speeds from the 280+ MB/sec I was seeing down to less than 100 MB/sec, and then it quit working altogether (no more lights, just dead) after about 24 hours of use.

    The above said, I had my doubts at unboxing the unit. It looks like the shell is a Broadcom reference design (check the layout of competing brands, they're all the same box with different names on it), the power adapter was of very poor quality, and it weighs similar to the 5-port QNAP 2.5Gb switch it was supposed to replace. QNAP went cheap and cheaper with respect to both materials and design on the 8-port model, which is a shame, as my two 5-port QNAP switches are built like tanks, have hefty power adapters, and can run full speed on multiple ports for hours without missing a beat.

    2.0 out of 5 stars QNAP QSW-1105-5T 5-Port Unmanaged 2.5GbE Switch - Working Well !

    Review of QNAP QSW-1105-5T 5-Port Unmanaged 2.5GbE Switch Broadcom BCM53161 Chipset
    -
    (UPDATE - lowering from five stars to two stars)
    As soon as this switch gets the least bit warm, its transfer speeds drop from 280MegaBytes (MBs) per second, down to two yes (2) megabytes per second, rendering throughput less than going through my gigabit switches and router.
    -

    This switch is (no longer) working quite well for me. With the QNAP QSW-1105-5T switch I am (was) able to copy files across my LAN at about 280MBs per second, which is a huge increase (but not when the switch gets warm/hot). Also note that I purchased some CAT8 cables, (found inexpensive ones here on amazon, from CableCreation), to be sure throughput is maximized.

    The QNAP QSW-1105-5T 2.5GbE switch is all metal, not cheap plastic, which is excellent, especially for switches that still cost over one hundred dollars.

    The QNAP QSW-1105-5T 2.5GbE switch setup was plug and play for me. Note that a router (nothing special) is necessary as well to provide DHCP IP address assignments to attached devices (already had the router obviously [note my internet WAN is "only" 500mbps]). For me that The QNAP QSW-1105-5T 2.5GbE was / is to increase LAN speed, not internet (WAN) speed.
    -
    With the QNAP QSW-1105-5T 2.5GbE switch installed, connected to my computers, and to my router, I've been able to seamlessly operate both ethernet ports on the computer mobos that have them. I'm not sure if that increases overall bandwidth, but it does work seamlessly. The 1Gbps ports on the computers run through 2 different switches to the router, not through the QNAP QSW-1105-5T 2.5GbE switch. My impression is that that QNAP switch may be (not sure now) preferable to the TrendNET brand switch.
    -
    Among my additional wish list items regarding these products is an 8 port version of the QNAP QSW-1105-5T 2.5GbE switch, and for the prices of all the 2.5GbE switches to eventually become more affordable, for wider adoption.

    SUMMARY
    -
    The QNAP QSW-1105-5T 2.5GbE switch works as expected (update, no it doesn't).

    Not much to say about it. It's currently the only 5 port switch with 2.5G support on ALL the ports that's under $100. The included power supply is nice and compact, only takes the space of one plug.
    It works great! I am getting reliable and full speed 2.5Gbps connections through it via multiple RTL8125 based computers. Would recommend.

    I've been needing to increase file transfer speeds for awhile. All three machines in my home office already had built-in 2.5Gbe NICs, so this unit provided the largest upgrade for the cost. I still think this switch should probably cost around $70, but for the time-savings of having the faster network speed it was a relatively painless upgrade. No regrets!

    This switch is fast. I measured it at: 279MiB/s between two Linux machines.

    It is silent, no fan, and still stays very cool: it hardly warms up at all.

    The amber vs green LED is very useful: you immediately see if a device is 2.5GBps or 1GBps.

    Lastly, it is the most affordable option, too, at the time of writing.

    My only remaining wish: a few more ports would be nice, like 8 or 12 ports?

    Would buy again! Recommended!
