TP-Link TL-SX3206HPP | 6 Port 10G L2+ Managed PoE Switch | 4 PoE++ Port @200W, 2 x 10G SFP+ Slots | PoE Recovery | Omada SDN Integrated | IPv6 & Static Routing | 5 Year Manufacturer Warranty

Good switch functions. The only issue is the noise of the cooling fans.

I'm refreshing my house with Ruckus R770 Wi-Fi access points. They require PoE++ and 10G back haul. This switch is perfect for running up to 4 of these APs. The software Omada controller is also pretty and works quite well. This is a great cost effective solution for Wi-Fi 7 APs. Update: I've had the switch for a few months, and its been rock solid. Unlike others, I hear no fan noise. I have three Wi-Fi 7 APs, each drawing about 12w. The Omada SDN solution is also pretty robust, although not always the most intuitive UI. Strong recommend for Wi-Fi 7 APs.

The switch is great, performance wise. But the fan noise is a deal breaker. It won't turn off even when the switch is idle. Make sure you plan on putting this switch away, far away, in a remote closet. The fan is so loud it makes it unbearable if used in an office environment.

If you know Cisco CLI this is about as easy as it gets. Cheaper than Cisco. Very power efficient. Runs quiet. LACP was easy. Vlans easy. Only new concept is pvids, basically native vlans.

Dislike: No power switch or hard reset button (at all). Dislike: Web interface keeps becoming unresponsive Dislike: Random inexplicable port deactivations Dislike: Fragmented Web UI, related features spread out over multiple menus/tabs Dislike: Couldn't get the SFP+ ports to work at all Replaced a Netgear router that was taken out by a power surge (but worked perfectly well for 2 years before that). So can't blame the cabling/other routers/power supply/anything else Would have returned it but took longer than the AMZ return window to figure out quite how awful it is. It was unreliable from the day it was first plugged in. Update: Things can go wrong with any product, so I wanted to provide an update on how TP-Link support addressed this case. The answer is: they did nothing to make me revise my low opinion of the brand. Their online chat is at least responsive, but somehow you wind up sending them emails which they *will not* respond to in less that 24h. Thus, the support process drags out over several days. Eventually got an RMA authorized 5 days after first reporting an issue. By that time, I'd been obliged to buy a replacement. And (quoting the Support operator) 'Unfortunately, we don't do refund as the switch is purchased from Amazon and we don't have control over Amazon stock. But, I can help you to get a replacement for that switch.'

Bought the TP-Link TL-SG3428XMP to replace Unifi network that was buggy and laggy. Found this unit with a good number of enterprise-level features and an excellent price point. The setup was pretty straightforward and ran into no issues. The network seems to be performing well with no issues. My only complaint is that these fans are screamers and loud. I have a network closet that this is in, so not a big deal -- but still loud. I will eventually try to may use a Noctua low noise adapter to reduce. Otherwise can't go wrong, especially at the price point and performance.

The TP-Link TL-SX3206HPP switch is an impressive 10Gb switch designed for high-performance networking. While its fans can be a bit loud during startup, this is a minor inconvenience for a switch meant to be housed in a rack or network closet. Its robust performance, extensive connectivity options, and reliable power over Ethernet (PoE) make it a standout choice for demanding network environments. Whether you're upgrading your home lab or scaling up a business network, this switch delivers the speed and efficiency you need.

Disclaimer... this recommendation to replace the fans will likely void any warranty on this very expensive switch, should you choose to accept and proceed with the recommendation. The fans are LOUD. I had my doubts about how loud they are, but after connecting it in the corner of our great room behind a built-in corner cabinet where we have rear access to our networking closet and being able to hear them in another room of the house, I understood what others were referring to as VERY LOUD fans. It's literally unbearable by any stretch of the imagination. I don't understand why TP-Link would put a dime-store fan in an expensive switch like this. Put the quiet fans in the switch and charge me another 25-30 bucks. I've already agreed to overpay for the switch; what's another 25-30 bucks? Anyway... the solution will cost you about 30 bucks and a few minutes of your time. You will want to order two of the Noctua NF-A4x20 FLX fans. Remove the six screws from the switch casing and remove the top, and you'll see the two factory-installed fans on the end. There are two screws (washers and nuts on the back side) on each fan that you'll need to remove. You can pry off the white siliconized glue on each connector with a small screwdriver. It's rubbery and could take a minute or two to remove. Disconnect the fans and maybe keep them in case you need to reinstall them to send the switch in for warranty (that could end up being voided). Keep the factory screws and nuts with the factory fans, as you won't need those for the Noctua fans. Install the Noctua fans with labels on the outside so the fans pull air from the other end and blow out the mounted end. Use the small included screws that came with the Noctua fans so that you don't have to fight with the factory screws with the washers and nuts on the backside of the fans. The Noctua screws work great. The connectors plug right into the same pin connectors on the board... no extra wires to worry with. Close it up... surgery is finished. Plug it in and enjoy a VERY QUIET pair of fans that you probably won't hear with the unit sitting right in front of you. :)

As you of now, no issues whatsoever. Only complaint I have is the fan its a bit loud even with light load. Will probably replace it soon with a noctua fan. But overall I am happy with the 2.5gb connections

Defective piece also I did not get a replacement only refund. My project is delayed

This product represents an excellent blend of features and performance. For my small SMB private cloud, I use this device as my core switch. My NAS and ESXi server occupy the 2x10 gpbs SFP ports, and my wireless and office terminate on the 2.5 gbps ports, where the wireless router supports multi-gig (2.5) LAN and the office has a small 2.5 gpbs switch, connected my desktop with an integrated 2.5 gbps NIC. This allows me to optimize my speeds for all points of access with far fewer limitations. I can get full use of my 1.5 gpbs fibre connection everywhere now. Notably, were I a content creator transferring large file sets often, I would want 10gbps in the office as well. As is, I am developing/terraforming and providing services as VMs in VMWare more than moving large files. I am also using cloud services and maximizing my internet speeds more than anything else. This switch was perfect for my use case. Some notes: 1) Its loud. I have it tucked away in a server rack, but I wouldn't want it on my desk. 2) L2 features are excellent 3) I could not register the product online - TP-Link doesn't recognize the serial number.

ممتاز

Excellent item, exactly as described, works well.
