Title: Excellent switch, works well
Review: It’s easy to set up. The cloud app fort monitoring isn’t quite as helpful as I would like, but it’s ok, and the swtich itself works very well

Title: Great build quality and performance. LACP worked perfectly.
Review: Works great, easy setup with dual 5g ports on my NAS. The link aggregation and LACP worked perfectly. With the 2.5g ports on my computers I am now bumping into the NAS hdd performance limits with multiple computers hitting it rather than network limits. Guess I need to upgrade the NAS hdd or get ssd caching for it now.I connected two of these with a short 10g cable and that worked very well.

Title: Works exactly as you’d expect
Review: This switch works exactly like I expected it would. It is silent as it has no fan, and isn’t too large for a “desktop” switch. It has both 2.5GbE and 10Gb connectivity. I am able to use it as a direct link from my router and then connect other devices on various VLANs which is why I bought this switch. Configuration is simple enough, and there have been multiple firmware updates since I purchased which can be flashed easily using the GUI. There is also a backup firmware in case there is a problem with the new one. I am using a mix of devices including 2.5GbE, 1GbE, and a 10GbE SFP RJ45 link to another switch in my house. All of them operate as expected, and I have had no problems. I am not using all of the features (yet), but VLANs and LACP work as expected for me. The power supply is a “wall wort” style (not built in), but isn’t too large to be intrusive with other devices.Overall, I would recommend this switch.

Title: Great switch. Not very easy to configure
Review: This really is a great switch. Only complaint is the web interface and documentation. I personally don’t find the interface easy to understand (the docs are ok as far as it goes, but there are no use cases on WHY you would use a feature or not. I have pretty much “sorta mastered” the interface at this point, but it wasn’t easy. Still, for the price, a great swtich!

Title: Blocks all VLAN traffic by default
Review: For the price point, this TEG-3102WS managed switch is very attractive. Though, being managed, that means that customers will wish to support and/or use VLANs. The problem is that TRENDnet has block all VLAN tagging out of the box. Even worse, the documentation is terrible and does not explain how to configure VLANs very well at all. I only figured it out after hours of scouring the web looking for others who have explained the fix.Tagged and Untagged: TRENDNets language is confusing as to what “Tagged” and “Untagged” mean. Quite simply, “Tagged” means that the port will pass VLAN tagged traffic and “Untagged” will strip the VLAN tag. The default network is setup such that all ports are “Untagged”, which is why all VLAN traffic is stripped by default.Basics: A VLAN client requires a minimum of two ports be configured: one for the Trunk and a second for the client. See below.Trunks: If you wish to setup an Unfiltered “Trunk” port that will pass VLAN traffic, you must first configure the VLANs in the “VLAN Settings/802.1Q” screen. Define each VLAN port as “Tagged” to pass the VLAN traffic.VLAN Clients: If you wish to setup a client active on a VLAN, you must first define the VLAN and then define the port on the VLAN which should be “Untagged” to strip the tags.Once you get past the above configuration challenges, the switch does work well. Though, again, the software is not industry standard and the documentation is terrible. Though, being $300 less than the Ubiquiti, the price/value still makes this worth it.

Title: TEG-3102WS software not ready
Review: Update 3/8/23Johnny with Trendnet emailed me back 2 weeks later. Better late than never in my opinion. He says that they can’t reproduce the QoS issue which is surprising since I had no issue reproducing the issue under multiple conditions/environments including directly connected to a single Windows client while trying multiple browsers. However, the main information he provided was that this switch does not support 10Mbps which is what NICs use for Wake-on Lan. That info seems plausible which excludes this switch from any network that uses WOL to backup client machines. Bummer.Update: 3/3/23I just returned the switch because I saw no progress on fixing any software issues and trendnet, specifically a guy named Johnny, did not reply to any email I sent after he suggested I return the switch. I specifically asked if he thought it was just a software issue or possibly hardware. I asked this because I considered returning for replacement. Johnny obviously didn’t have time to answer.At the time of this writing there are no reviews for the TEG-3102WS (managed). Most if not all of the existing reviews are for an unmanaged version.I received the switch and initially thought it was working fine. I set up a few VLANs and was happy until my backups failed because wake-on-Lan (WOL) no longer worked. I started troubleshooting by trying to turn off unnecessary features. This is when I noticed I cannot turn off QoS. It says that it turned off but it does not and when I log back into the router it shows that it’s still on. After resetting the switch to factory and logging back in I tried immediately to turn off QoS with no success. So now I have a switch that is advertised as an SMB solution that doesn’t work with WOL so client machines won’t wake up for backup purposes. That’s a deal breaker for me. They escalated my support ticket but nobody at Trendnet seems to know what to do about it.

Title: You get what you pay for…
Review: This ethernet switch is expensive, but you get what you pay for. Web based interface is easy to understand and use, but most importantly, it works better than the cheap ones. Other cheaper unmanaged switches I have tried in the past were very buggy, and would intermittently disconnect my devices from the internet. However, this managed device has none of those problems. Never had an issue losing connectivity with this switch and I am very pleased with my purchase!

Review: Die Switche funktionieren wie sie sollen, alles toll, aber die Lüfter sind so unglaublich Laut (und das ohne wirklichen Grund), daß die Switche in einem Home-Office Umfeld absolut unbrauchbar sind. Sie sind so laut, daß man wenn man sie im Keller installiert hat die Kellertür zumachen muß, damit einem der Switch im Wohnzimmer im EG nicht die ganze Zeit stört.Leider für mich unbrauchbar für meinen Zweck. Man braucht mindestens einen Serverraum und einen Etagenverteilerraum in dem der Switch dann Schallisoliert laufen kann.

Review: Eigentlich wollte ich mein Netzwerk auf 2.5GbE umstellen und bestellte diesen 24 port Managed Switch, der vom Preis-Leistungs-verhältnis stimmte. Da auch der vorherige Gigabit Switch managed war, dachte ich, daß ich die Einrichtung auch bei dem Neuen hinbekomme.Leider erwies sich das als Fehler. Es fing schon damit an, die Login IP so anzumelden, daß ich mich über IP Breite meines DHCP Servers/Router einloggen konnte. Es gibt zwar einen Einrichtungs-wizard, aber der half am Ende auch nicht wirklich. Das Endresultat war, daß die Verbindungen unentwegt abbrachen, und ich keine adequate Zuteilung der Bandbreite konfigurieren konnte.Ich bin kein IT Admin, doch solche Kenntnisse sind für diesen Switch erforderlich.Am Ende habe ich mir einen 4-port + 2xSFP+ unmanaged QNAP Switch gekauft (QNAP QSW-2104-2S), der tatsächlich Plug-and-Play und anstandslos einige wenige Devices mit höherer Bandbreite versorgt, ohne mit dem ‘alten’ Gigabit port in Konflikte zu geraten.

Review: ¡Buen producto!!!, interfase muy intuitiva y completa, funciona perfectamente, llevo un mes sin problemas; sin embargo, he notado que se calienta muchooo!! (50-60 centígrados), compre dos disipadores de aluminio de 10 cm c/u, los pegue encima como se ve en la foto y santo remedio. Las entradas sfp+ funcionan con adaptadores de 10 GB de fibra y cobre, los tengo conectados a un servidor vmware y a una mac mini.
