    Rack mount ears for Zyxel GS1920-8HPV2 switch

    I have a Zyxel GS1920-8HPV2 switch. https://www.zyxelguard.com/GS1920-8HP.asp I like now to rack mount. I found out form here that there was a Zyxel bracket kit 1-004-05900006: https://support.zyxel.eu/hc/en-us/articles/4405555634706-Which-Rack-Mount-Kit-for-my-Zyxel-Product- However, I can't...

    VPN for travel - NordVPN or using my USG100 Flex?

    The USG 100 Flex has VPN capability. https://support.zyxel.eu/hc/en-us/articles/360005482114-VPN-Configuration-Provisioning-on-a-USG-Firewall However, I am not sure whether this will work with a generic VPN client or whether I need to use the Zyxel since they are selling VPN client licenses...

    Opinion on Trendnet TPE-1020WS and Trendnet in general

    Regarding my power consumption comment: I added another device by accident. The total power consumption is actually slight down as compared to the Netgear with injectors.

    Opinion on Trendnet TPE-1020WS and Trendnet in general

    Not sure whether there is a thread mix-up or simply a suggestion for me to get the SG355-10P instead?

    Opinion on Trendnet TPE-1020WS and Trendnet in general

    I got the GS1920-8HPv2. So far so good. Found it interesting that I am using 20W more as compared to a Netgear GS108TV2 with POE injecors (all clients the same).

    Opinion on Trendnet TPE-1020WS and Trendnet in general

    Great. I don't know what comparable products woudl be on the Cisco or HPE lineup. On Cisco maybe 350 series? Frankly, managed or smart managed is probably overkill for my use. ports, POE and integrated PSU are most important.

    Opinion on Trendnet TPE-1020WS and Trendnet in general

    so, in total actually 10 ports that can be used concurrently?

    Opinion on Trendnet TPE-1020WS and Trendnet in general

    Does the TPE-1020WS actually have 10 ports? (just 8 poe but 10 gigabit?) I do actually have a Zyxel USG device. Seems to work well. However, UI could use some work...

    Opinion on Trendnet TPE-1020WS and Trendnet in general

    I am looking for a 8+ port POE switch with integrated PSU. I am using 8 ports now and having one or two extra woudl be a benefit. Of course I could go 16 port but then I will likely have a fan that I like to avoid. How reliable Trendnet? Also software?

    Thoughts about Zyxel SF302-08Pp?

    My apologies. Must have mixed up during copy/paste when researching. My question was about Zyxel GS1920-8HPv2 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07H9X72VR/?tag=snbforums-20 https://www.zyxel.com/us/en/products_services/8-24-48-port-GbE-Smart-Managed-Switch-GS1920-Series/ I was looking for a switch that...

    Thoughts about Zyxel SF302-08Pp?

    I am looking for a 8 port POE switch. Came across the Zyxel GS1920-8HPv2. However, I don't find any reviews on it. Just wondering what to expect.

    Are UBNT Switches a good choice? 8 port POE

    I might want to look into UBNT alternatives. i.e. Netgear GS310TP or GS510TLP?

    Are UBNT Switches a good choice? 8 port POE

    Sorry, missed that. That might be relevant based on the power supply issues people have with US‑8‑150W. However, when I check the specs it looks like the same AC input. https://dl.ubnt.com/datasheets/edgemax/EdgeSwitch_DS.pdf https://dl.ubnt.com/datasheets/unifi/UniFi_PoE_Switch.pdf

    Are UBNT Switches a good choice? 8 port POE

    Great to hear. So, is there a difference between US‑8‑150W and ES-8-150W-US?

    Are UBNT Switches a good choice? 8 port POE

    thanks. I figured the UBNT woudl nicely integrate with the software for the AP's. I liked the form factor of the UBNT and the idea that the power supply is integrated, less clutter. But the power supply might be in fact an issue. I did not research for problems, simply US‑8‑150W reviews when...

    Are UBNT Switches a good choice? 8 port POE

    I want to upgrade my Netgear GS108T due to the need of POE. I like to avoid the clutter with adding injectors. When looking for models I came across the US‑8‑150W switch. https://www.ubnt.com/unifi-switching/unifi-switch-8-150w/ I just recently bought some UBNT AP's and like the solution...

    Need to upgrade from Netgear WAC120 setup

    I put this project on the back burner but really need to get it done. Is Ubiquiti still the choice?

    Need to upgrade GS108Tv2 for more ports - GSS116E or Zyxel, or?

    I have currently a Netgear GS108Tv2 switch plugged into my Zyxel USG40 router an running out of ports. Even with using the ports on the Zyxel. The next step up from 8 port is typically 16 ports. I am liking the mounting idea of the Netgear GSS116E. I don't really have a POE need. Having at...

    Need to upgrade from Netgear WAC120 setup

    The POE will add some complexity and cost. In general what are the trad-offs of devices like the Ubiquity vs. table model? like a EAP1300EXT or TP-Link AC1900? Can I still place a Ubiquity on a shelf?
