SFP+ and 10Gbase-T excellence!After doing way too much research into SFP+ and 10gbase-T network protocols, trying to make all the 10g devices on my network communicate, I found this amazing go-between. The MS510TXPP features both interfaces, so you can bridge both technologies in one device. When it arrived, I plugged in my wires, and everything worked instantly. Extremely pleased.5Decent 10GbE performance, looks and noise level - but slower than their own NightHawk switchOne of the cheapest multiport 10GbE switches I could find on Amazon in May 2018, this one offered more 10GbE ports than the TP-Link JetStream T1700G-28TQ, without requiring the additional purchase of SFP+ adapters, and in a package 4 inches smaller lengthwise. It looks modern under the desk. However, unlike the TP-Link, this NetGear has a fan, and it's not silent (although it is reasonably quiet). When you might otherwise want silence in the room, you can hear this unit a bit. I tried the mod recommended by another reviewer - substituting the appropriately sized Noctua 40mm fan - but it was even louder in its default state. When I tried adding in Noctua's included Low Noise Adapter, the fan noise was quieter, but after closing the shroud back up for the NetGear, it made more of a wind-tunnel noise that was also louder than the stock fan. So in the end, I put the stock fan back in place and am busily scheming how to move this switch into a closet.One last annoying little tidbit: I found that the file transfer speeds using this switch were some 10-15% slower than when using NetGear's own NightHawk 10GbE switch! The only - but obvious - downside to the cheaper, silent NightHawk switch, is that it has only two 10GbE ports. Even for a fairly average SOHO user such as myself, that's not enough, since I need to connect two servers to my office PC. Oh well.3amazing, just amazingThis is for the MS510TXPP model, I have been a network engineer for over 20 years. I was not sure this little switch could deliver everything it claimed to do.. my main priority was to QoS traffic for my gaming rig. I was able to do this and more. I tested QoS policies by marking a DSCP value and doing a packet capture on my Pfsense router and my dns cache server and I could confirm that the policies were tagging traffic correctly. once that was validated I then moved my critical (gaming) traffic to a strict priority queue! I was able to test iperf3 and got full line rate speeds with QoS applied! amazing, just amazing! I also used private vlan configuration to segment off my guest traffic and IOT devices which are dumped into a community vlan through the AP. one thing I was disappointed in and hopefully netgear is reading this.. there is no DHCP relay capability today 12/22/2017 on the vlans... this makes it hard to deploy "routed" vlans which out having to add an additional DHCP server layer2 adjacent to any routed vlan... you can of course use static IPs... but I dont want to manage static IPs.. maybe this will be available in future software releases... overall, this is an amazing switch and I am very happy with the features it provides.5A few quirks but good switch for the price.Works as expected. I did have some crazy anomalies in the beginning. While trying to configure a QNAP NAS connected on the 10G port it kept going stupid. I could install the NAS software, get to the login page, but then it'd just get stuck there and crash out the page with a message about the traffic being blocked. I wasted nearly a full day trying to figure out the problem and finally found that it miraculously went away when I switched the NAS to use one of the 1Gbps ports instead of the 10Gbps. After the NAS was fully configured I switched it back to the 10Gbps port and the problem seems to have gone away.I still don't know if it was the switch or the NAS causing the issue to this day, but I wasn't impressed with their tech support when I contacted them in any event. That's why I took a star off.4Overpriced, but still worth it.I was unsure about the price tag of this switch, as it doesn't have any management or anything onboard, but I'm very happy with it, and it reaches full 10Gb. The fan on this thing is also surprisingly quiet. The whole unit is very well built and the PWM fan can even be replaced if for some reason you decide that the current one is too loud. Included are some tech nudes for the more geeky readers.5Known Issue With Jumbo FramesIf you need jumbo frame support, be sure to check your serial number and realize you may have an impossible time trying to get a unit that works with jumbo frames properly (as it's supposed to). Netgear has a KNOWN issue with a batch of serial numbers that do not support jumbo frames (google it. it's on netgear's support page. amazon won't allow me to provide link here). I'm on my third unit now trying to get just one that works properly and have not been able to. I RMA'd one through Netgear support and they sent me yet another bad unit. Now, I'm trying to get Netgear support to send me a unit that is not among the affected serial range. Shouldn't be hard. The serial number is on the outside of the box. But I've spent a week now trying to get someone at Netgear to simply look at the serial number before shipping me a new one, but apparently this is impossible. So: Netgear has a known issue and they even know which serial range is affected, have not recalled this batch, and can't figure out a way to send good units to customers even though it's as easy as looking on the outside of the box. I'm sure the working units are awesome and if I ever get one, I'll update my review. But the customer support thus far has been awful so I might have to give up and buy a different switch.1An inexpensive taste of 10GbeI'm mostly using mine in an "un-managed" fashion. I'm not tagging things and creating VLANs and such. I am however using it in a semi aggregate/lab nature. I've got a short run (30ft?) Cat5e on the 10Gbe jack, and a short 1m twinax on the SFP+. I was easily able to saturate both links and the switch didn't raise a fuss. LACP works great as long as you're not mixing the port types. IE, you can LACP all 4 1gbe, or 2 of the 2.5gb, or 2 of the 5gb. Just don't mix the three flavors together. When I tried to LACP 2 1gbe, and 2 of the 2.5gbe configured in 1gbe mode, it wouldn't work. Not a big deal, but it's something."Green" power management is a nice plus as well. When a port isn't populated, the switch consumes less power. The 10Gbe copper seems to kick up about 6-7w when that device is active. Audibly, this switch is pretty quiet. Not fanless, but quiet all the same. No need to worry about it sounding like a jet hurling down the runway.It also comes with rack ears, which is a big plus to me.Overall, I'm pretty pleased. Been rock solid for several months and given me a taste of the 10gbe lifestyle. Makes for, what I call, a good endpoint switch.4Great valueFantastic. Dropped in to my network without any issues (mix of Cisco, Dell and Netgear switches). Getting near wire speeds using iperf. Have had no luck with the SFP+ ports, have tried numerous 10Gtek transceiver's with no success. Attempting to connect a XS505M to this switch via the SFP+ ports and can't get 10G speeds (always end up with 1G links). Great switch despite my difficulties with the SFP+ ports.5Great switch until it completely failedWorked great, but failed completely (all lights on green, switch completely unresponsive) after less than 6 months. NETGEAR support is a complete nightmare - probably the worst experience I have had so far (I filed a case online, they require you to call for an RMA, I call, input the case number, and the system tells me to open a case online and hangs up on me). I do not currently have confidence I will get the switch replaced.This switch also had various problems with non-Windows operating systems (Linux/BSD) on maintaining 10G connections to Intel 10G ethernet cards..it can be a little wonky depending on the NICs you're using.Yes, it's cheap for 10G, but like most things, there are some caveats.UPDATE June 2018: Replacement switch has not only completely failed in exactly the same way but NETGEAR still can't fix their phone system support to not hang up on you.I will never buy NETGEAR again.1Great 10 GbE entry level switchSo far paired with Intel 540-T1 server adapter with Windows Server 2016 and ASUS XG-C100C workstation on Windows 10. File transfer speed 989MB/s between machines with SSD. This is without any modifications like jumbo frames and receiver side scaling (RSS). Worked straight out of the box - outstanding!Update 8/12/2019: Have now had this unit in production for just over 2 years. Zero issues with the switch. Strangely the Cat6A cable with the longest run (well within spec, 25') sometimes drops the connection from the Intel 540-T1 to the switch. It is sporadic so cause is hard to pin down.5
