Switch is a winner as an integral part of a Ubiquiti system (or by itself)
Great switch. It’s the central part of my Ubiquiti setup. I use the POE to power the UAP-AC-IW, and it works flawlessly but no longer supports POE passthrough. Passthrough requires POE+, which this switch doesn’t support. I wasn’t using the passthrough anyway, so no loss for me. However, using this switch to power my AP allowed me to remove the POE+ injector I was using from my setup, so that’s a plus. This switch is really well built, metal case and small form factor. I needed a POE switch with aggregation ability in a small form factor so this managed switch fit perfectly. As others have said, it does run hot with it’s passive cooling design. Physics says that’s probably not good for the long term life of the components, but I’ve never heard of Ubiquiti long term quality problems. Also, I have a fan pushing air to this and my Edgerouter X-SFP just in case, but I wouldn’t have bothered if I didn’t have that fan lying around. The switch is easy to configure with the Unifi controller (software) that I already had running for my AP. If you don’t already have Unifi Controller running, it’s still very easy to set up.There wasn’t any other switch that met my requirements for my setup, small, POE, managed. Even better, I was already in the Ubiquiti ecosystem so it makes implementation and management that much easier. If you have a UAP and/or USG, this is a no-brainer. Even if you don’t, the ease of management and control on this switch makes it very appealing. I recently replaced a quality all in one router with a Ubiquiti setup and it’s one of the best things I’ve ever done for my home. If you rely on internet and the network like most modern people do, look into it.[Excerpt from another of my Unifi reviews:]As much as I like this switch, the real star is the whole Ubiquiti modular setup. My network is so bulletproof now. I don’t ever have to worry about network being up or inconsistent wifi speeds. Where it used to be common to hear that the “internet is down” or “too slow” from my family, I have not heard a peep about the network or experienced any performance issues in the couple months that I’ve had this system. And this is while I’ve been literally constantly monitoring it throughout the day since implementation. Not a single hiccup or issue, and we probably stream video as much as anyone (cable cutters). I may sound like a Ubiquiti fanboy, but it’s because this is working for me way beyond my expectations. Other setups from other brands could work just as well, I just don’t have experience with them. I just heard so much about the ALMOST consumer level ease of Ubiquiti with the flexibility and power of enterprise. But honestly, if you have experience with consumer routers from 10 years ago, it’s not much harder to configure, if at all. Also there’s a very big support community and very helpful videos on youtube. Regardless of any trouble in setup, it’s worth the initial pain to not have to deal with a slow or down network or internet on a weekly/daily basis. I’m never going back to less than excellent performance again.

To take full advantage, make sure you know what you’re doing!
Im new to Ubiquiti and Unifi products, but i have the security gateway, the AP lite, and now this switch. after i got adoption figured out, it’s been 100% reliable. my internet is fast, stable, and well protected thanks to a suite of features that comes with the security gateway.Trouble was, i’m running my Unifi controller on an off-site co-located server that a good friend owns. Usually this isn’t an issue, but during adoption, it means that my network couldn’t see my new switch, despite being on the same physical network. Seeing as this was my first rodeo setting up a new piece of hardware on a pre-established network, i was confused, a little irritated, and kinda fed up. after a few hours of tinkering, checking the Unifi forums (what a great resource for experts and noobs alike) i finally gave up and asked my buddy for help. Turns out it was an easier problem than i was looking at. since my network is controlled remotely, the default access port was changed, and wasn’t seeing the new switch because it was factory defaulted to port 8080 out of the box. after a quick port change to my network, a restart, and updating to the newest firmware, my network saw the switch, it adopted painlessly, i switched the port back to what it was set to before, and it’s been completely trouble-free since installation. my only downtime is for updates and site surveys. So needless to say, i’m completely satisfied with this product! its been a great learning experience, and i plan on continuing to buy Ubiquiti products in the future. their in house support team is wonderful too. they’re fast and can help with almost anything!

Unifi Solid Networking at an excellent price
I have used Ubiquiti Unifi gear for three years now and the Enterprise Class Network devices and integrated management make this a wise choice. I’ve installed Unifi for four friends of mine as well. This is actually my third Unifi switch in my home. I have one other Inifi Switch 8 60W and the Unifi Switch 24 250W. I also have a Unifi USG and two of their excellent Unifi AP-AC Pro access points. I also recently upgraded from a Cloud Key Gen1 to a Gen2.When you decide to opt into the Unifi line of equipment you are making a decision to bring Enterprise class networking into your home. In order to configure and manage Unifi network devices you need to run the “Unifi SDN Controller software”. The Unifi SDN is where you make all the changes and settings to Unifi devices. Unlike consumer class network devices, Unifi devices are not managed, configured or monitored from a web server embedded on the device.Instead, the Unifi SDN makes secure socket connections to the target devices for management. One way to understand this is that you can configure one wireless access point and then add ten more access points with a single click and they are automatically configured with the SSID’s that you have defined on your network.You can run the Unifi SDN on Windows, Linux, Mac or a Unifi Cloud key. I have run the Unifi SDN on Windows, MacOS, Linux, and as a Docker image from my NAS. After plenty of experience, I decided that a Unifi Cloud Key was a much better choice since it is a dedicated environment from which you run just the Unifi SDN. Although it is not necessary to run the Unifi SDN 24×7, it is a great advantage to run it from a device like the Cloud Key for realtime monitoring, reporting and statistics.This Unifi 8 port POE switch is completely manageable, which means that it allows for the creation and management of multiple VLANS and four of the eight ports are Power Over Ethernet (POE). I’ve used the POE ports to support both my Unifi Access Points and also several POE cameras I have around my property. I’ve included a picture of this latest Unifi 8 port POE switch that I have which is handling my Family Room entertainment center connection to my Samsung QLED Smart TV, a Roku 3, a PS3, a Raspberry Pi running OSMC, and a camera which monitors the area when we are gone.The visual indicators on the Switch itself and on the GUI let you know if a device is communicating and at what speed and if the attached device is drawing POE power, you get the exact wattage that is being used on that device. The only downside to this switch is that it is passively cooled and needs to be used in a well ventilated area because it does run hot.My summary recommendation if to seriously consider this device, but to also consider a Unifi Cloud Key with it. As long as you make the dive into the Unifi Ecosystem, also consider the USG or USG Pro as your router to complete the integrated suite of devices.

I replaced all of my home networking with ubiquity gear. It costs more, but it is well worth it. Now I can see everything that is going on in my network and have complete control over every aspect of it. The vLAN capability is a professional next level item that is not available on consumer level products. Having the ability to protect my personal devices from my IOT devices gives me even more peace of mind. Ubiquity makes solid, easy to use products and rpthere are tons of good videos on the Internet that show you how to set things up.

Instalación y configuración a través del Controlador. Y funciona perfectamente para las redes creadas y se administra muy bien en conjunto con USG 4PRO.

I wanted a managed Gigabit switch to connect my network. The switch came nicely packed with the power supply. UK lead was also supplied by NetXL so no hunting around as one doesn’t come in the actual box as it wouldn’t fit.Straight out of the box, devices supports 8 Gigabit connections with 4 POE. Point to note is that it only supports the IEEE 802.3af standard (48 volts) and doesn’t cater for the 24 volt passive devices (although the 150W version does). An adaptor is available for that from Ubiquiti (INS-3AF-I-G Indoor Gigabit Adapter)It warns you to have airspace around the device and it does run warm to the touch! Straight plug and play, out with my unmanaged switch and in with this which reports back on port usage and speeds to the ubiquiti Unifi controller. Lights are on the top so no bending down to see what the port speed or PoE status is. It also checks for firmware updates from the web and informs you through the unified controller.The unit was supplied by NetXL and their service was so fast – the next day on all purchases I’ve made.

Très bon Switch. Parfaitement contrôlable via son contrôleur (à installer sur une machine à part, ou acheter leur cloud Key ou l’installer sur un raspberry pi)Quelques infos a prendre en compte- il chauffe beaucoup mais c’est normal il faut simplement que là où c’est installé ne dépasse pas les 50 degré, pour ma part je l’ai mis dans un placard avec un ventilateur 5v (contrôlé via le même raspberry qui sert de contrôleur) qui refroidi tous les petits équipements dedans. La température passe de 37 a 30 a proximité immédiate du switch (par temps de canicule) (Thermomètre Laser)- il ne contient pas de sonde de température interne ce qui aurait été pratique (comme son copain 150W)- on peux avoir uniquement les statistiques des up down sur les ports (aller dans insights > switch stats) celui qui voulait avoir plus peut être déçu comme moi a moins qu’il installer un USG de leur marque, un edge router ou leur point d’accès wifi- on peut très bien éteindre la lumière bleu de Switch.- on peut descativer le poe si c’est pas utilisé. La consommation 60W correspond au max des poe si tous les poe sont utilisés. Sinon c’est 12W sans poe- le uplink peut être n’importe quel port ( comme un Switch normal quoi 🙂 )- les mises a jour de firmware sont simple et assez régulière ce qui rassure.
