Happy with my choice so far

Not bad at all for the price (best I've found with this feature set). A slightly annoying issue is the firmware they come with - the web interface is only visible from certain browsers. However, once you update the firmware, everything runs smoothly - and the GUI on this switch is FAST - possibly the fastest web interface on a switch I've seen. these as required. However, the range of functions goes a little further here; Not the Cisco 3750, mind you, but it would certainly be preferable to the

Pros
  • Good stuff
Cons
  • Long wait

Reliable Little PoE Switch

This is a very simple 5-port PoE and VLAN switch. I'm using it in a media closet to connect a Roku, IP control for a TV and AVR, a relay for a TV elevator, and a wireless access point that manages multiple VLANs on a backbone. It does the job. The power budget is enough to handle most tasks (unlike other small switches that use PoE pass-through and a max power of around 15W). I'm using a wireless access point and relay to control a TV lift over PoE. Working with VLAN is extremely easy. QoSโ€ฆ

Pros
  • An Absolute Legend
Cons
  • No Auto Mode

Revain sent me a Zyxel GS1900-16 instead of a GS1900-8HP, not just once, but twice. On my third order of 8HP I received the correct block. It is durable and well made. Very durable metal case. The device itself is small, but the power adapter is BIG. Too large. Spring. You remove 2 Phillips screws to open the case. The electronics appear to be of high quality with no obvious quality control issues. There are NO instructions. There is no paper manual included, just a quick start guide with basic

Pros
  • Robust design
Cons
  • Not everything fits

Please read and save some money

I take the time to review a product if it is either exceptional or so inferior in performance or value that I wouldn't even give a law to my brother-in-law. The Zyxel GS1200-5 belongs to a later category. I'm a big fan of Zyxel and have a lot of their products. There aren't many fans at the moment. Good Features: Reasonable price and competitive at $29.95. Has all the bells and whistles; Managed, VLAN, IGMP Snooping, Q801, etc. Bad: The configuration is not intuitive. very limited scopeโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Industry Best
Cons
  • Negative Experience

Loud sucker for computers and accessories

Okay, this switch is just great. It's fast and web pages refresh quickly when applied or saved. There have been several complaints about the default IP address - right? So just reconfigure and move on. There have also been complaints about having to "apply" and then "save." When I think about it, just do it, it's very quick and fast, so I don't see what the problem is. For a typical IT environment, this switch is a bomb if it meets your performance needs. The ONLY downside I found with thisโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Looking forward to it
Cons
  • Can I add anything else

I'm satisfied, it's a good purchase.

Worked for me from 05202222 to 11202222. One fine night, I gave up and stopped supplying power to the ports configured to work with PoE (a couple of cameras and a Wi-Fi access point). Surprisingly, all other functions work without problems. It didn't even have to be reloaded. When you select the PoE menu, it thinks for a long time and ends with an error, something like: "PoE was abnormal (access fail)!". The internets are suggesting that this is some kind of hardware problem inside the switchโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Affordable, functional. Not expensive.
Cons
  • Cumbersome, but for PoE devices this is the norm. Tricky power supply connector.
