KeepLiNK 8-Port 2.5GbE Managed Switch Features and Specifications
Eight 2.5GbE managed ports each operate at full wire speed and support 802.1Q VLAN segmentation, making it straightforward to isolate sensitive traffic such as storage replication from general user data on the same physical switch. LACP link aggregation ready capability lets you bond two or more ports together toward a compatible NAS or server, effectively doubling or tripling the available bandwidth beyond a single 2.5Gbps connection. The dedicated 1x 10Gb SFP+ uplink handles the combined load from all downstream ports without congestion, which is essential when multiple workstations simultaneously stream 4K content or transfer large media libraries. QoS priority queuing allows you to assign higher transmission priority to latency-sensitive applications like VoIP and video conferencing, so real-time traffic never competes equally with background file transfers. IEEE 802.3az Energy Efficient technology and a completely fanless metal high-speed design make this trusted KeepLiNK switch equally suited to silent home environments and professional small-office deployments where consistent performance and low noise matter equally.

Looks and works quite well!
If you have issues setting persistent dhcp option instead of 192.168.1.168 follow:
1. System -> ip setting -> dhcp -> apply
2. Wait for reboot and find new ip assigned
3. Reconnect to admin using new ip and use tools -> save to make it persistent
Otherwise it will just revert to static after power loss or reboot 😉

Small and silent 8 port 2.5gbps switch managed via web browser.
The web interface is very plain looking but has a lot of features for a switch of this price range. Third party firmwares are already being developed.
This is based on realtek chips which are decent for its price.
The included power supply (for eu) is extremely light for 12v 1.5a which makes me doubt about it’s quality and longevity
There are newer firmwares online, but not on keeplink website unfortunately. My version :
Firmware version v100.9.5
Firmware date feb 25 2025
Hardware version v3.1
