Great (enterprise switch) for a home network
We use the Ubiquiti equipment at work (mainly the access points) and have been very impressed with how they are built and their reliability. We have a couple hundred access points in service now for three years, only one died and was replaced under warranty.
We decided to try one of their 48port switches at a remote site, again, no problems and very easy to administer.
So I needed a switch at home that I could set up vlans on and has POE+. Just a few months ago I purchase a UAP-HD access point. With that I set up a controller on an old pc in the basement. Since I had had the controller, setting up the 16 port switch was a breeze.
I mounted it, plugged it in to power and the other switch I had. By the time I got upstairs, the controller already found the new switch.
I adopted it and upgraded the firmware. It took longer to unbox and mount it than it did to set it up.
It has a couple of fans in it, but they have yet to "ramp up", so no noise.
If you have a spare PC laying around, great, good to go.
Otherwise you will need to purchase a cloud key. The controller software is free.
The same PC I run the controller on is the one I run the Ubiquity camera software on.
I have both connected to the could so now I can configure/adjust my network from anywhere and view live video as well.
Its enterprise level equipment, so you pay a little more than consumer, but it is in reach of a homeowners budget. I highly recommend it.
