u probably explained how to set vlan better for newbie than most, ty for your time & effort
Glad it helped and thanks for the feedback!
Great info. I purchased the QNAP QSW-308-1C 10GbE Switch because I didn't need a managed switch and I needed 3 10G ports and I wanted to use fiber also. This Netgear switch seems like a good buy, I will consider it, if I ever want to try out a low cost managed switch.
I also have all 4 for of the QNAP models and really like their management interface, but the Netgear is just much less money. Thanks for the feedback.
appareciate the part in the video u taught how to setup the vlan. specifically @6:27 you point out that vlan1 is still used for port 10 because that is the uplink.
when i first started i was clueless about setting these vlans. nice to see some tips for this for the netgear switches. depending on which brand of switch you get, though some parts are still generally applicable, their UI is different so it's done differently in some regards.
Thanks for the feedback and glad you got some ideas from it.
I am still clueless and allow my Drytek router to manage my VLANs ;). However thanks to this video I may be inaly able to set up VLANs using my switches :)
Nice one for simple 10G, found this one also for 180USD, XGS1210-12 spite never used this brand.
Thanks for the feedback. I have never used Zyxel before but they have been around for a long time and have a decent reputation. I like that it has an extra 2 x 2.5G ports. Nice find.
Yeah, I run across that Zyxel every time I search for "switch SFP+ 2.5Gbe" and would like to try it out, but have never found a source for it. Where did you see it for sale?
Ok, second try... I found them on amazon for $180, so grabbed one. Thanks for the ping, I had forgotten about it until you reminded me to look again.

@@MikeFaucher Hi Mike check this one also, is even better XS1250-12, is a bit more expensive but has 3 x 10GB RJ45 + 1 x 10GB SPF+ and 8 Gigabit Ports.
Can I setup two different configurations from two different routes and switch between the configurations? I have two ISPs, one is my primary and the other is the back. I'd like to be able to flip from one to the other without recabling everything.
Not with this switch. This has to be a function of your router. Look and the Unifi equipment as they make that very simple.
Do you have to use a VLAN supported router? Can this switch be used to create VLANs with a standrad router?
Yes you can use the switch in a standard configuration but VLANs are created from your router and can't be used with a supported router. If you want to use VLANs, you will have to most likely upgrade your router. Great question.
Hi, Do you have any video explaining how to create two vlans, one with internet access and the other without internet access?
I have a couple that shows VLANs and another coming out in two weeks but they cover VLANs in general not one with and one without internet. The process is exactly the except of one critical piece and that is to block that VLAN/subnet in your firewall by not allowing (blocking) traffic in your firewall. I like the idea though and will add that to a future video.
@@MikeFaucher Thanks for getting back to me. I'd like to create a vlan10 (3 pcs) and another vlan20 (4 pcs) and I do not want to give internet access to vlan10, await for your video.
Hello sorry to be ignorant but can I link aggregate my gigabit internet if I plug 2 1g ports into my router. I know I can get more than gigabit but my router has only 1g ports. I'm hoping I can use lacp to aggregate the connection to pull more out of my router.
You can only get more if both your switches and your router/device will support it but it will not a true additive. LAGs only work when there are multiple requests. If you are going to increase you internet speed, get a 2.5GbE switch as that will truly add speed.
Zyxel XGS1250-12 has 4 port 10gbe @240, but they are semi-managed
Looks very interesting. Curious how loud the fan is. Might have to try one of these.
@@MikeFaucher very little noise... and on top, SFP+ is great if you need long distance.
@@meatball9417 Thanks. Will pick one up.
@@meatball9417 Thank you. I did reach out to them to see is they will send one for review, if now I will be buying one.
what all did you plug in? what do i plug my router and modem in to
There are many options. One suggestion would be to 1 Gig to the LAN port of your router, and your main PC and Storage unit to the 10G ports. Hope that helps.
So I have my router plugged into my modem then my modem plugged into port 9 then pc into port 10 but it says no internet connected
Any recommendations for a switch with poe scheduling? Does that exist?
I had never thought about it until you asked, so searched and apparently it is a thing ("duh" on my part, seems like it would be very useful). In fact, the Zyxel PoE switches (mentioned in the comment by @Pedro Brigham) appear to have scheduling as a standard feature (I searched for your term, "poe scheduling", and Zyxel was in the first three).
not sure about poe scheduling but netgear probly has some POE switches, just go to their site and browse. The more features/ports u want, the more u have to pay though. but they got a whole assortment of switches that will match your requirements.
on the product page for the switch, just check the features to confirm if it has poe scheduling or not.
As mentioned by @d00dEEE, Zyxel switches do have it and some of the Engenius switches as well as many Netgears. I am sure there many others as well. This does not work for me but it is a good idea.
by the way i may need to buy a 2.5gbe addon, becauz of the motherboard having a faulty 2.5gbe nic. i know the qnap 2.5gbe addon is problem free on that end but shipping cost sux. do u know any other 2.5gbe addon which does not have the issue of the port constantly reseting and dropping out randomly over time over and over? this is an issue im getting on realtek nic on the motherboard. some old v1s for intel 2.5gbes also had this issue.
Almost all the add on cards I have use the Realtek chip but have not had any issues with them.
@@MikeFaucher thats weird. guess im unlucky. i dont even know which realtek nic is on my motherboard, so maybe there is some sort of revision that is problem free. but mine will randomly reset, there is no fix for this even when updating drivers. i checked online and saw many others had this issue. i had to resort to using the intel 1gbe nic on the motherboard just to have a stable connection. but thats not gonna fly when moving 2.5gbe, so im having to look for a stable solution for this :{
@@AinzOoalG0wn Also check that the power saver is not active on your NIC.
@@MikeFaucher yeh i did that but sadly it didn't help :{ in the end i had to reset the nic back to factory settings cauz the changes made didn't help. im not 100% sure, but maybe after applying those changes u need to reboot? but it didn't seem to be the case.
I have a 1000 Mbit/s internet connection. If I have occupied both 10G ports on my GS110EMX switch, one as an uplink to the 2.5G port of my router, the second to the 10G port of my workstation, then I get 1060 MBit/s downstream in the Ookla speed test. With all other devices on the 1G ports, I only get 400 -500 MBit/s in the Ookla speed test. If I change the uplink to one of the 1G ports, I have 960 Mbit/s on all devices. This deviation does not exist in the home network itself.
If by uplink you mean one of your router ports, then there may be an issue with the 2.5G port negotiating properly with the 10G port of this switch. Moving everything over solves your issues as everything is negotiated properly. Hard to say network cards are used in routers but my guess is that it is a negotiation issue. Since a 1G connection does not utilize the speed of a 2,5g, I would stick with the 1G. Not a great answer but without seeing all the connections and hardware, I can't think of anything else. I recently had an issue with a 10G card not even running at 1G and had to replace the card with a different brand of card and this was on a different switch.
Thank you for the assessment. It is definitely correct because the problem appears to be the router port. I connected my router's 2.5G port directly to a 10G Intel network card on my workstation to see how the devices negotiate. In short, I have to manually select the 2.5G full duplex, otherwise it stays at 1G.
@@danieleichler Sounds like you are narrowing in on the problem.
I heard this switch runs very hot, is that true?
It gets pretty warm but not much different than any other 10GbE switch I have which all run warm. IMO, nothing to be too concerned about.
@@AM93000 My pleasure. If you get it I am sure you will be happy with it.
Yes, you can slowly cook an egg on it
