Omada 8-Port 2.5G BASE-T Easy Managed Switch with 2 10GE SFP+ Slots, ES210X-M2

This was the perfect mix of prosumer features to upgrade my homelab network with the SFP+ uplink 2.5gbe downlink in a silent, inexpensive package.

Purchasing from the website was a breeze, very responsive and clear with all communication. The switch shippedon time and arrived without any damages or scuffs. The switch had a good weight to it and is built solid. I'm using it with a ER706W router and SX3008F switch. Using the software controller the ES210X-M2 was found easily and everything set up automatically. Basically plug and play. Only using it a couple days, but already I'm seeing better performance on my home Network, my other switch couldn't handle the bandwidth and was resetting itself (4x 2.5 Gb, 2x10SFP+). So far pleased with my overall setup and performance. Omada is a solid brand,I've got a AP on the way to add to it.

Update 03/04/2026: This switch has a major flaw (or intentional design) that one won't expect to have. In controller mode this ES line of switches can't report IP addresses of connected clients, it only shows MAC addresses, in standalone mode the IP addresses show up fine, but not under the switch, it'll show up under the device the switch is connected to. If you need IP address reporting thinking the Omada Controller will populate everything it won't. Otherwise, the switch is excellent, build quality and operational value, if they can find a solution for this it'll be perfect.
