Model: EWS2910P-FIT
from $149
The EnGenius EWS2910P-FIT Fit is an 8-Port Gigabit PoE Compliant Managed Network Switch designed for reliable network connectivity. It features eight RJ45 Gigabit Ethernet PoE ports, each capable of delivering up to 15W of power, with a total PoE power budget of 55W, alongside two SFP Gigabit Ethernet WAN ports for expanded connectivity. This compact switch offers a switching bandwidth of 20 Gb/s, supports jumbo frames up to 9000 Bytes, and includes security features like DHCP Snooping and DoS Attack Prevention, making it suitable for managing and powering various network devices in small to medium-sized environments.
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 $149.
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.
