Omada SG2218P | 16 Port Gigabit Smart Managed PoE Switch | 16 PoE+ Ports @150W, 2 SFP Slots | Support Omada SDN | PoE Recovery | IPv6 | Static Routing | 5 Year Manufacturer Warranty

I'm not really thrilled with the whole Omada environment. I'm using the gear on my home network, the way the config work is less than intuitive, and sometime confusing, but if you understand basic networking, you can easilly figure it out. Overall this switch is functioning great. Took a while to figure out how to do a LAG on 2 ports, but it seems to all work well once it's setup. Overall decent quality and function for the price. there is alway trade offs, so you get a little wonky configuration for the quality and price. Works for me!

All 8 copper ports have real PoE, it has 120VAC line power inlet (sadly only one, not redundant) instead of a power brick, selectable front panel indicators, two real SFP ports, not doubled up on copper ports, and they're not manufacturer locked afaict, at least they work perfectly with my random no-name copper SFPs, so it's an actual 10-port switch. Best of all, it has actual ios-style CLI config so if you're used to cisco type switch configs, there's nothing to learn. It has a pretty decent web-based GUI config as well, and the gui config just gets translated into ios commands and put in running-config/startup-config. Everything works just the way you'd expect it to. It has basic L3 routing including between vlans, and supports the usual stuff like LLDP, SNMP, and has some rate-limiting features I haven't tried. It's also compact - it's 1U high, but only 11.5" wide. It comes with mounting ears to put it in a 19" rack and also little rubber feet for desktop use. There is a fan, and airflow is from left side to right, but it's very quiet and spins up and down with load.

Fits your rack, runs super quiet, 4-GBIC uplinks and fully manageable. Great price and solid gear especially if you’re all TP-Link/Small Office/Home

The omada software suite has come a long way recently. Im not even going to go into a lot of detail in regards to performance because gigabit switches have been around forever, and I've yet to use any gigabit switch that didn't hit gigabit speeds or work as it should. Whether that be managed or unmanaged. The real thing that should be discussed is the software , software features, ease of use and configurability. Omada is on par these days with the competition (aka the brand starting with "U") . Firmware has been stable for me for awhile now and I'm always running alpha and beta branches of the omada controller software as well as the actual switch firmware. I've had steady solid PoE+ connectivity for my security cams, and other various IoT devices. Omada is a no brainer in my eyes, and I would recommend more people give their products a try vs others... The value you get for your money is often better than competitors. When you compare the amount of ports, features, and software vs others, Omada always comes out on top. I just recently built out a full 10G homelab network, and I have been happy with every single device I've purchased and it's been a lot of them. SX3832, SG3206HPP, SG3428MP, SG2206MP, OC220 controller, SFP & SFP+ modules are all tp-link/omada. Everything has worked great together and always getting firmware updates with additional features. Will continue buying.

I should have gotten the 24 port model but as this was my first experience with Omada I didnt want to invest quite that much before knowing exactly what I was paying for. Very good performance in my large home lab (4 proxmox nodes with over 120 containers in total, 3 waps, on 12 VLANs and 6 SSIDs supporting 8 users on the local network plus regular quests surging to 22-24 concurrent users. The Omada controllers are constantly getting updates, but still dont have good options for logging which is my only real complaint, it is a pain to get logs from omada devices into my logging and monitoring tools. I had written my own api hooks (apis dont expose all the logs I want) and a scrapper but got tired of maintaining them with the constant omada controller changes so now I have to manually log in and review. If you dont care about visibility, this is a solid buy.

Product has a lot of power for PoE and is easy to configure and manage in the OMADA application

My husband was a network engineer with advanced certifications. We were waiting for our Starlink gear to come in and he was in the process of switching our home networks to TP-Link products using the Omada controller to include several outdoor APs (for our barns, game cams, etc.) because we would finally have the internet speeds to support a full network. Sadly, he passed away before the Starlink kit showed up and wasn’t finished building out the network. When I got the satellite internet up and running, I tried to use the switches from the previous network build but wasn’t getting anywhere. After doing some online research, ordered this, plugged it in to the network and now all the APs are working. I have no idea how to do anything else in home networking, LOL, but am happy with the speed and reliability provided. We have two ceiling mount APs and three or four of the outdoor APs with multiple Apple TVs, Wi-Fi cameras, various personal devices, weather station, etc. and all receive good signal and fast speeds using this setup.

I would maybe have suggested the lower wattage version of this for most people before getting my hands on this device. Wow! Even without hooking up to a network control system this thing is super easy and straightforward! Uniquiti, Cisco, and the rest could stand to take a page from this device's options! They've even implemented some non-standard features that I've only managed to get with complex custom scripting on my Linux router. 100%, 10/10
