The VLAN seems to have more options, but I'm not yet fully familiar. BEWARE: use an updated Browser, or the menu items might not respond. The DHCP functionality is great, making initial setup a breeze. Then you can easily assign a static address (and be sure to reboot it). I have not (at least, yet) experienced any of the problems others have mentioned, and desertcart claims it is "frequently returned". It's only been a few hours for me so time will tell, but so far, it performs as expected. There are no functionality or bandwidth issues, and transfer speeds are the same with or without this switch in the system. I needed a 2.5Gbps VLAN switch (to replace the 1.0Gbps units) and I'm glad I selected this one. That being said, yes, it IS super over-priced! I wanted the 308, but for another $100?!!? Marketing madness! Review: Easy and fast setup - This switch has a nice small form factor, making it ideal for limited space applications. It is also very easy to install. With its auto negotiation set up, the switch is really plug and play. Works good with higher fiber speeds, 1GB+. ## Features - 2.5-GIGABIT ETHERNET PORTS: Features 5 x 2.5Gbps Multi-Gig Ethernet ports for high-speed connectivity.
