Review: TRENDnet 5-port Unmanaged 2.5G Switch

Review: TRENDnet 5-port Unmanaged 2.5G Switch

We review the TEG-S350 switch from TRENDnet. We've been evangelizing for years now to achieve faster Ethernet. That trend has started towards PC motherboards, NAS units, and routers; but lagging behind are affordable multi GigE switches.

Read the review here.

wouldn't say 10gbit is overkill but it depends on your network and use
I'm down to 2.5gbit now (asus crosshait VIII dark hero) wanted a msi x570 creator but the width is stupid, with 4 dimms it manages to be wider than a trx40 8 dimms e-atx :confused: read mostly bad comments about it too
the 1st thing I noticed motherboard wise is that the 4x lanes that it would have taken for an onboard 10gbe have been spent on more USBs and 8 full speed SATA ports, worth the trade

I can still plug a 10gbe NIC I guess, haven't tried it yet ASUS doesn't really say how the lanes are split unlike MSI

Have the same board Dark Hero couldnt find a MSI Godlike in stock at a normal price. I perfer MSI boards over Asus myself as memory and lane splitting just seems to be easier/better on MSI. I run 1 z490 God for old ladies work PC, 1 Gigabyte Extreme z490 for son gaming rig, x299 Creator for my Plex server, and Dark Hero x570 for my main gaming rig and I have to say I just absolutely hate the gigabyte board as it is very picky on memory takes forever for the first time post compared to the Asus and MSI. May I ask what memory and speed you have running on your Dark Hero? I can run DDR 4000 Gskill long as it 2 sticks with my 5950x but cant with 4 and of course there is a nice little hit going from 4 to 2 stick on the 5000 series so I saw no differnce running a 1:1 4000 ratio with 2 sticks compared to 4 stick @ 3200 or @3600. I do however have the 4000 kit running at 3733 1:1 at c14 timings. The same kit could do c15 @ 4000 on my z490 godlike and I know 4000 isnt easy to do on Ryzen

Hey just a question about 2.5g. My new mobo has two RJ-45 ports, a Realtek 2.5GbE port and an Intel GbE 1g port.

My internet is only 80/20 and it's the best i can get. I have 10ms to my first hop which is really good for copper wire connection.

Will it make any difference which port i use? remember i get only 8mb/s so i'm just using the Intel port for now but it makes me think the 2.5g port will be better or does it really matter with such low internet speeds?

Hardly anybody needs more than 1Gbps if all you care about is internet speed, since very few people have internet speeds faster than that. The main purpose of going faster is for LANs. If for example you have a home server, getting more bandwidth can be worth the investment. For offices, sometimes you can still get by with 1Gbps for a typical cubicle, but the switch might have a couple of 10Gbps ports, which effectively allows nearly every cubicle PC to access the server/mainframe or internet without getting bottlenecked.

I wasn't trying to brag earlier I was just trying to say why have these high-end rigs and have network speeds than cant even max out platter HDs. I'm also far from rich but I do work hard for what I make and help run a successful Accounting Firm so I enjoy the benefits of pretty much working 7 days a week 9-5. I did get a nice little laugh from the guy that said "the need to brag is strong" I'm guessing it was because of the Yoda profile picture. I myself copy a lot of data between PC and having a 2.5g switch is nice being able to copy files at 250 megs vs 100 for 1G ports. Also Googles Router for there 2 Gig service only has 1 10g port so without a switch only 1 device would be able to benefit for there 2 gig service. The last I checked for 10 Gig switches were in the $500 plus range for like a 5 Port which is just retarded. I mean sure people could do with 100 meg nic and wait 30 min to hour to copy something. I was just saying it was all about trying to fill that need for speed and be more productive. As for the guy asking about which port he should use would depend on what speed your connecting to your router or modem the Realtek will just drop down to whatever speed that connection and I personally never saw a difference from Intel's 1 gig and Realtek on a 1 gig connection other than the Realtek seemed easier to allow ports to be opened and forwarded. So in gaming it would be hard to tell which port is which as your ping and lag would or should be the same regardless of which port u use at least in my experiences anyways.
