Model: EWS2910FP-FIT
from $137.96
The EnGenius EWS2910FP-Fit is an 8-Port Gigabit PoE+ Compliant Managed Network Switch designed for robust network connectivity. It features eight RJ45 Gigabit Ethernet ports with PoE++ (802.3bt Type 4) support, delivering up to 30W per port with a total power budget of 110W, alongside two SFP Gigabit Ethernet WAN ports for versatile uplink options. This compact switch offers a 20 Gb/s switching bandwidth, 8K MAC address table, and supports Layer 2 and Layer 3 services, making it ideal for expanding and managing small to medium-sized networks requiring reliable power and data delivery to connected devices.
For home use, a simple unmanaged Gigabit switch is all you need to expand your router's ports. Buy a managed switch or a switch with PoE only if you are running security cameras, access points, or complex VLAN setups. Available from $137.96.
Basic unmanaged network switches use negligible power and have zero maintenance costs. PoE (Power over Ethernet) and large managed switches use more electricity but are still relatively cheap to run.
Common Failure Modes
Switches are solid-state devices with high reliability. When they fail, it is usually due to lightning strikes/power surges blowing individual ports or the internal power supply dying.

Network switches are extremely reliable solid-state devices. They are usually replaced because networking speed standards outgrow them, rather than due to hardware failure.
