    Aumox SG305P - Large Value for a Small Price
    5 Stars
    Aumox SG305P - Large Value for a Small Price
    I purchased and used the Aumox SG305P for a week now. From the time that the package arrived from Amazon I was impressed with the packaging and the product itself. The unit was packed using sturdy foam packing that protected the unit from impacts during shipping. The heavy duty power cord and the optional attaching hardware were placed in the box in such a manner that nothing would bang around the inside of the box during shipping. This unit may come with a budget minded price, but it comes with lots of features that most other small form factor non-managed switches don't. The first thing that I noticed when I unpacked the unit from the box is just how sturdy it feels. It's not made out of cheap plastic, but rather the unit is enclosed in metal. The second thing that I noticed in the box, that wasn't mentioned on the bullet points of the unit, is that it arrived with included brackets and screws that mount to the side of the unit if you wish to mount it on a server rack system ( home or business ). It's the little things like that that make this unit such a great value for the money. No where else will you find unmanaged 5 port switch with these features for this low of a price. The third thing that I noticed while unpacking the unit is that the included power cord is very sturdy, and has standardized ends ( for the North American power grid ) . With standardized ends, it would be very easy to obtain either a longer or shorter cord to meet your unique needs. For my needs, the included power core was the perfect length. The power cord is just that, just a cord, as the 78 watt power supply that is built into the unit gives the unit a certain weight that actually feels proportionally correct to it's size. Now on to how the unit actually functioned for me. If you are power conscious as I am, you will be pleased to note that the unit's idle wattage draw is only 1.6 watts, so the Aumox SG305P will not be raising the electric bill any substantial amount. I tried the unit with 4 POE security cameras plugged into it , and with all four powered at once, it still was only drawing 16.8 watts from the wall. Efficiency seems to be built in. One thing to note however is that while it is a 5 port switch, only 4 ports are POE ports. Rated at 78 watts, you would be hard pressed to find 4 devices plugged into this all at the same time that would tax the power supply. It has plenty of power to spare. While researching this switch I found out that the POE function is fully automated, meaning that no matter what you plug into it, be it a phone, or security camera, etc, the unit will automatically figure out the correct power to deliver down the line. When I tried my security cameras, they were up and running with a displayed picture in seconds. No manual set up was needed for the unit to send the correct voltage to my cameras. It is very convenient. One thing to note here, I tried to tax the unit and power supply, and in all of my testing, the unit never became warm or hot. It seems to put out very little heat, which goes hand in hand with the power efficiency that the unit displays. The instructions that come with the unit are the only point that I could actually say needed improvement. There is no instruction manual with the unit, all you get for paperwork is a single sheet of paper with very basic set up instructions on one side , and the unit's specs and support website on the other. I did have the occasion to actually need and use the support website in the first week, and I have to say, that as far as support goes, the support offered with this unit ( at least my first impression so far ) is top notch. After contacting the support website I received a non "cut and paste form " answer, but was instead answered in plain English with a understandable answer. On the bullet points for this unit the "One-Key VLAN" is prominently displayed, but inside the box there is no literature explaining the operation of that feature. After contacting support I found out that the little switch on the front of the unit ( see included pictures ) is what turns that feature on/off. In the "S" position the 4 POE ports can see and communicate with each other, and the ""V" position all 4 POE ports can not see each other and can not cross talk. In the "V" position ports 1-4 can only communicate with port #5. This is applicable to the use of wireless AP, it can effectively suppress a network storm, and improve the performance of a wireless network. It would be a small change for Aumox to include that small bit of information in future packaging, and given how helpful they have been up to this point, I would not be surprised if that change isn't made very soon. This is a 1 Gigabit switch, and when you get down to it, what you really need to know is that it does what it is supposed to do, at the speeds that it is rated at. I did a before and after speed test on my network. The before test used my old 10/100 switch, and the second test used the Aumox SG305P switch. I transferred a 3.5 GB movie file from my media server to my desktop. Both the server and the receiving desktop were using SSDs so drive speed was removed from the equation. The before test took just under 5 MINUTES to perform the file transfer while the second speed test using the Aumox SG305P 1 Gigabit POE switch took just under 30 SECONDS. The difference was HUGE. To sum up this review, this unit is well worth the current asking price. I frankly can not believe the value that I recieved for the money. The build quality is excellent, the function is excellent, the power draw is excellent, and the look and feel of the unit is excellent. Other than the skimpy instructions that are in the box, I am hard pressed to find any negatives with this unit.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Works with Unifi
    Reviewed in the United States on January 29, 2020
    Before you read the review, let me go over what my current network setup is in my homelab:
    - UniFi Security Gateway Pro (USG-Pro-4)
    - UniFi 8 Port 60W POE Switch (US-8-60W)
    - UniFi AP AC Pro (UAP-AC-PRO)
    - UniFi APAC Lite (UAP-AC-Lite)
    - UniFi AP AC Inwall (UAP-AC-Inwall)
    - UniFi Cloud Key Gen2
    - Server running Plex, Piehole, etc
    - Some monoprice patch panels that is in my network cabinet that I installed in the laundry room.

    Initially, Everyone will have concerns that when you see switch shipped in a standard Amazon bubble mailer. Still, when I opened the package and seeing that there was another box inside with a decent amount of foam padding keeping the switch in place, my fears were alleviated.

    Now since I told, I'll explain how I used the AUXMOX switch DAILY. I decided that I would patch a cable into the patch panel and have the AUXMOX switch live on my test bench in my office while I did all my testing. During these tests, I connected the UniFi AP, which is POE powered, a Rasperry Pie that is POE powered, my MacBook Air & Pro, and multiple IP based cameras (cheap ones to expensive ones. That said, everything has been working flawlessly while plugged into this little switch.

    I was able to easily max out my gigabit COX GigaBlast connection downloading files onto my Server using the switch. Further, I observed no noticeable lag or speed drop from the UniFi equipment when connected to the AUXMOX switch, rather than directly connected to my core UniFi switch. The RPI had no trouble staying powered over POE and moved data just as quickly as if it were still attached to my core switch. Additionally, the smart home hub seemed to be having no issues being plugged into the switch. Overall excellent experience keeping everything powered and everything "just worked" as advertised. No modifications or software changes needed. It’s just a plug and play.

    Interesting observations for those that want to know more about how it interacted with the rest of the UniFi setup. The switch did not appear in the UniFi controller panel, which makes sense because it's not an UniFi device. However, it is worth noting that it didn't even show up with a MAC address anywhere in the controller, so you'd have to enter that manually if you needed to make any additional configurations to how the switch is managed. As far as the switch assigning DHCP leases, I didn't have any issues with it pulling correctly from the USG, which is what hands out DHCP for me. Further, any devices connected to the switch will show that they are connected via the port that the switches uplink is plugged into on the UniFi core switch.

    Additionally, I was pleased to see that the switch didn't make any weird or unnecessary calls home or out to the interne as I was watching it with PiHolet. It appears to do exactly what it says it does: quick, efficient, cheap, and reliable POE power/data.

    One note about their separate "VLAN" feature. It feesl as if they mislabeled the functionality because it's not so much an "individual VLAN" for things plugged into the switch as it is port isolation. When the jumper is flipped to enable their VLAN setting, nothing on the switch can communicate with anything else on the switch. This would be useful if you had a bunch of POE devices that don't need to talk to each other, or you wanted them to be segregated for some reason. In my case, it was just kind of a pain in the butt, and I disabled it after testing it was port isolation was the case.

    Pros:
    - Extremely affordable
    - Reliable POE power and a lot of it!
    - Does exactly what it says it does
    - Able to fully utilize my gigabit internet connection
    - Uses standard power cable and has a built-in power supply
    - Comes with rack-mounting hardware
    - Small, fanless, runs cool to the touch under load
    - Matches my desks aesthetic

    Cons:
    - Unmanaged. Which isn't even really a con because if you needed that, you wouldn't be buying this.
    - I really couldn't find anything wrong with this switch because it just works so simply and does precisely what is advertised.

    100% recommend buying one, and since I may have some additional project that needed easy POE accessibility without a managed switch feature set, I will be picking more of these up. I almost 100% positive that I probably would have shelled out more money to get another UniFi switch. Still, this AUXMOX has performed so well that I would recommend picking up one for any project where you need easy POE or LAN.

I did a before and after speed test on my network. The before test used my old 10/100 switch, and the second test used the Aumox SG305P switch. I transferred a 3.5 GB movie file from my media server to my desktop. Both the server and the receiving desktop were using SSDs so drive speed was removed from the equation. The before test took just under 5 MINUTES to perform the file transfer while the second speed test using the Aumox SG305P 1 Gigabit POE switch took just under 30 SECONDS. The difference was HUGE. To sum up this review, this unit is well worth the current asking price. I frankly can not believe the value that I recieved for the money. The build quality is excellent, the function is excellent, the power draw is excellent, and the look and feel of the unit is excellent. Other than the skimpy instructions that are in the box, I am hard pressed to find any negatives with this unit.

    5.0 out of 5 stars An Excellent POE Switch! Works great!
    Reviewed in Canada on February 14, 2021
    I was looking for a switch to power from access points and cameras and came across this Aumox SG518P switch. It seems to be just the right switch for the job.

    Pros:

    1. The boot speed is instant. Upon plugging it in, it powers up within 2 seconds. That'd much faster than some other switches I've tried in the past.

    2. It comes with rack mounts!!! The rack mounts attach with 3 included screws on each side. They fit my rack perfecty. Also the screws are easy to screw in/get access to.

    3. POE Works (most important feature). I was able to test 802.3af as that is what my UniFI AC-Lite and U6-Lite (The WiFi6 model) support

    -- Note, for others that wish to buy this switch, make sure your UniFi APs support 802.3af. The older ones prior to board revision 33 (32 and lower) DO NOT support 802.3af and only support passive 24v POE which this switch does not do. I have a mix of older and newer UniFi APs and only some of them work. The compatible ones indicate 802.3af on the back side of them for eay verification. If you cannot get to them, go to the UniFi Controller, manage the AP, scroll to the bottom and download the JSON file. You will be able to see the board revision in that file for each AP. 33 and higher is compatible.

    4. Fan noise is there, but it's pretty quiet. Even under a desk I couldn't hear it. When it's mounted in my rack, it's inaudible due to the fans for the router and server. Noise is not a concern whatsoever.

    5. Plugging in non-POE equipment did not damage it. Some cheaper switches can, this one does not. Have tried a bunch of different NICs, Xbox, my TV, PC, an Asus NAS and Synology NAS. No issues.

    Cons:

    1. Is there a white or silver model to match my UniFi Gear? :D

    2. Unmanaged, but for a managed switch you would typically pay a lot more. I'm totally fine that this is unmanaged. The VLAN switch does work though in my testing if you need to use VLANs.

    All in all an awesome switch that doesn't break the bank! A+++!

    I'll be honest, most of my network hardware are branded with recognizable names. However, the features that attracted me to this switch were that it was both Gigabit and had POE on all ports, something that I couldn't find in other switches in the same price point. Most either had only some of the ports powered (16-port but with only 8 POE ports), or were fully managed (L2 or L3) which meant they cost an arm and a leg.

    This switch excels in situations where a managed device is not required, namely, for connecting bunches of network appliances (IP Cameras, WIfi A/Ps, Phones etc)

    A surprise feature for me was the "VLAN" switch. Technically, I think this is actually called PVLAN (Private VLAN) or Port Isolation. This allows you to isolate the interfaces from each other at the flick of a switch, and without having to mess with VLANs in your router. When the feature is turned on, devices plugged into the interfaces can no longer see each other but can only see whatever is plugged into the "Uplink" ports (17&18). One application for this would be a quick and painless way to setup guest wifi where you want to prevent anyone connected via the AP from seeing anything plugged into the other device ports. See my pics for what a device scan of the network looks like with the PVLAN feature enabled and disabled.

    One feature that I would have liked to see is some kind of indication on the ports to tell if plugged in devices are drawing POE or not. I have this feature on another switch and it's super handy.

    All in all, I can see myself getting a few more of these down the road for future phone or camera jobs. Good price and just the right features.
