Review on 💡 TRENDnet 5-Port Gigabit PoE+ EdgeSmart Switch with PoE Pass Through, 18W Budget, 10Gbps Capacity, Managed, Wall-Mountable, Black, TPE-P521ES - Lifetime Protection by Quartreal Eagleman

So I read all the reviews but my use case was so simple I figured TRENDnet couldn't be "that" bad. I was wrong. Latest firmware from 2019. I tried to open it in a modern browser and the web interface does not load. It sits and spins forever. Upload it to IE (yes, IE in 2021) and it works great. Second, when faced with power issues, the Switch seems to self-respect the default value. In my case I connected to another PoE switch and without disconnecting devices it kept dropping. So I had to set the IP address 4 times before plugging in the PoE adapter that was just lying around for the initial setup. 8 hours of my wasted time as a network engineer. I then plug in a device (the only devices on this switch that will be PoE) and even though it only requires 3W of power, this device keeps crashing everywhere and complaining about not getting enough power. do yourself a favor Don't buy this. Just go for something different. It's not worth the hassle and it's clear that TRENDnet made an inferior product and abandoned it back in January 2020.
