A lot of people are asking about the fan noise... I am using about a dozen POE devices and consuming 45.7W out of the 250W limit. I ran the "AndroSensor" app and held my phone a couple of inches away from the switch and measured the ambient room sound level at 41.00 dB, then on start up it went up to about 59 dB. Then the sound level stepped down a couple of time before finally resting at about 51 dB.

Hi, is the switch loud to be placed in cabinet where you will work ?

[@dash8brj]

hahaha I just ordered one of these, and then thought "oh I can't have that noisy thing running in my rack a few feet from me - I was praying it would throttle down after it booted, and it did :)

[@mitalako]

Hi, how far is the switch from you? will be uncomfortable to mount it in the cabinet where i will work ? is it too loud ?

[@daha101]

Omada (pronounced like the word armada) is a Greek word which means team. I don't really know if it's named after the Greek word but it makes sense as it's used to manage multiple devices. :)

[@marcusbruns9729]

I just got one of these for free. Looking to use it for a small home setup. I'm sure there are better options, but you can't beat free. All it's missing is the ears, but I don't have a rack anyway. It'll be sitting on a shelf or stand.

[@erikahoward4949]

Great information, thanks for sharing!

[@rklauco]

Is it possible to turn PoE for specific ports on or off? My old PoE+ switch has an option to do so, even something like failsafe - when the device does not respond to ping for specified amount of times, it will turn the power off and back on to reboot the device. I'd like to know if the TP-Link has similar feature.

[@AmatoMasaki]

yes it is possible if i recall correctly.

[@anirudhsingla6704]

How do I set up a connection between IP cameras (8 Nos.), PoE switch (16 Port), Mesh Wi-Fi Setup (4 Nos.) (as a home network extender), Router (for Internet uplink), and NVR (Network Video Recorder).

[@geraldh.8047]

Thank you for showing the webinterface in detail. I was wondering whether it was possible to see the CRC errors that occurred - to check whether there might be a problem with the cabling. Your video was the only one I found that actually clicked on the the statistics page at 30:38. There is a stat called alignment errors which according to google is at least repeated, possibly a subset of CRC errors. Probably enough to diagnose a bad cable.

[@alantmac]

Thank you.

[@bongopongo6206]

just put the rack mount "ears" on with a handraulic screwdriver...

I can't cope withe the noise level... I'm thinking changing the fans with some noctua... Have anyone done it? Tia.

Hi ben, is there's a way to input a static gateway??? Thanks

Thanks.

Hello. Can I connect a non poe on this switch? I am planning to connect my desktop computers. Thank you.

[@bkayfetz]

Yes! It's will ignore the POE feature of the port when you plug in non-poe devices ..

[@jaylenyoung5108]

Good to get in 2024 ?

[@YHK_YT]

Can you use this as an omada controller too? Instead of having to host the software yourself or using their dedicated controller, I’m kinda confused since it mentions omada SDN is integrated

[@Shrubtastic]

Nope - you need a separate hardware or software controller to manage it.

[@khoapham-zo5kq]

Does it have the function of MAC authentication via NPS server?

[@pastasuta9955]

Hi can you help me my switch tplink t2600g-28mps is connected to a router and I have a AP conected to a switch and when I try to use different ports for my computer all ports are 100mbs, how do I fix this the switch is capable of 10gb and I am only getting 100mbs and I read a lot about this and people are saying it is the faulty cable i have installed cat7 cabels and i have a tester and they are all good I even tryed with cat8 and its getting 100mbs?

[@bkayfetz]

TP Link has pretty good phone support depending on where you are located... Give them a call.

[@myozone]

Is the Omada server within the switch, or did you mean you can access the switch with the Omada utility ?

[@hassanisakovic]

There is no controller built in, but you can manage the switch via the omada controller

[@gintarelis]

Hello, does the switch have a 24v PoE output?

[@Puggti6]

Hi there. I know someone’s already asked the question about the fan noise. But just to be clear after initial turn on and the fans are on what appear to be full steam, do they actually quiet down some or do they stay like this all the time? I’ve just hooked this switch up and after a good 10 mins maybe more they’re still going fast and loud? Any idea if they can be adjusted in the controller software?

Yes the fan noise does not decrease.

[@mohamedsaied5879]

hello, I want to ask something how did you manage to open the switch? I cant open the URL? if there is any trick or something?

[@temp06j723-pmeighttq]

Your connected configuring equipment eg PC, laptop needs to be set to a Static IP that it is on the same Subnet (192.268.0. …) as the Switch default IP ,in order to be able to access the GUI

[@RetiredVirtualPilot]

Hello how to disable this model POE power? example number port (so i am change active poe to passive poe)

[@abo3abid1]

I don't have the switch, but I assume that it doesn't provide or interact with passive power at all. If you are using a power injector (for passive PoE), it will probably disconnect the active PoE power contacts. I think you won't face any issues

[@haxxorsheep]

Nice video but I would invest in a Hoto electric screw driver. Way better then your drill for jobs like these.

[@djsixottawa]

Did the fan noise eventually diminish after boot while all devices were hooked up?

[@bkayfetz]

Yes, it is noticeably quieter than the old switch.

[@Gaarax1981]

I just installed omada switch 2428...it's my first switch of this kind and i find the noise extremaly annoying. I can't compare with other as it's my first, but i even thought mine is broken as u can't be calm on the same room than the router.

[@Gaarax1981]

u need an spare room that u don't use in order to use that equipment lol.

[@djsixottawa]

@@bkayfetz : After I upgraded from TL-SG1016PE which was basically silent -- the fans of TL-SG2428P are a bit noisy (but somewhat tolerable).

[@bkayfetz]

Hey, some people spend good money on a white noise machine!.. maybe TP LINK should add that to it's feature list.
