Ubiquiti UniFi USW-Flex-2.5G-5 5-Port 2.5G L2 Managed Switch - 2.5GbE x5

Its not a bad little unit for those on 2gbit hyper fiber that need to add in a few more devices.
Simply plug it in and it works.
But heres the real kicker. It says 5 port but you can only use 4 ports at once on it.
Port4 and POE Port 5 are tied together data wise so you can only use 1 of those two ports at a time.
If you have something in port 4 then port 5 will not transfer data until you unplug port 4.
So really it should be advertised as 4 port with a POE optional port. Its not a bad little unit for those on 2gbit hyper fiber that need to add in a few more devices.

At first, it looks like the Port4 / Port5 (PoE in) might have some sort of internal conflict, though after "adopting" it into my Ubiquiti network and letting it do a firmware update, it seems to be fully resolved and working as expected — 5 ports of 2.5 GbE goodness!

It just works, not sure why BrendanG6 has problems with port 4 & 5, maybe a setup issue or a faulty unit, I can confirm ALL 5 ports work together with or without vlans It just works, not sure why BrendanG6 has problems with port 4 & 5, maybe a setup issue or a faulty unit, I can confirm ALL 5 ports work together with or without vlans

Great little switch for the price, works with Unifi really well and has some basic vlan support per port too (cannot replace a proper router though) Great little switch for the price, works with Unifi really well and has some basic vlan support per port too (cannot replace a proper router though)

Good for when you're using the express or express 7 with just 1 LAN port on it, matches the express 7's 2.5gbe. While not being super expensive Good for when you're using the express or express 7 with just 1 LAN port on it, matches the express 7's 2.5gbe. While not being super expensive

The small for factor makes it perfect as a desk extension from your main router.

The build quality is excellent. It looks and feels premium without the matching price tag.

Powered over POE reducing the footprint makes this product a no brainer for those wanting to make the most of hyper fibre. The small for factor makes it perfect as a desk extension from your main router.
