Exploring the features of the Zyxel XMG1915-18EP, a 2.5-Gigabit PoE switch with a basic L3
We have a rather interesting class of L3 switches in front of us: multi-gigabit PoE models with a relatively small number of ports, an average PoE budget by modern standards, but 10-gigabit uplinks. They are interesting because the manufacturer has placed 2.5G PoE + 10G in a compact 9-inch rack housing with a silent fan, and such a switch can be installed at home, in a 1-room office, under a false ceiling or in narrow telecommunication cabinets.

The differences between expensive Ethernet switches and cheap ones using the example of Zyxel
We will take two switches: the Taiwanese brand Zyxel and the Chinese counterpart from a little-known manufacturer and look at the design differences and what they affect in order to answer the question - does it make sense to overpay for design features?
It's no secret that almost all modern electronics are manufactured in China, even if they are developed in the USA, Europe, Japan or Taiwan – the Chinese have not only learned how to do things efficiently, but have also grown such IT giants ...
Testing the features of the L3 PoE switch IP-Com G5328P-24-410w
This is a 28-port switch, in which 4 ports are gigabit optics for Uplink, and the remaining 24 ports are 1-gigabit RJ45 PoE with a total power budget of 370 watts, and each of these ports can work both in 802.3af mode (up to 15.4 watts) and and in the mode 802.at (up to 30 watts). When integrating into the project, some features of this switch should be taken into account.

QNAP TS-262 - Little hero of a small office
This model shows that even a small 2-disk desktop NAS can pleasantly surprise with storage capabilities: up to 4 NVME SSDs and up to 16 hard drives when using cards and expansion shelves. The ability to configure layer-by-layer storage and run applications in containers in a compartment with a 2.5-gigabit network makes it an excellent choice for a modern office with remote access and Wi-Fi 6.
