Linksys Managed Switch Default Password

Quality managed POE/POE switch.

great value for a very flexible managed switch.

Oh, I like this router.  I like it a lot.  It is tiny.  It is probably a quarter of the size of the consumer router from Cisco/Linksys, prior to the Belkin acquisition of Linksys, that it replaced.  It is also a managed switch so it is much more feature packed.  It can handle multiple VLANs, VPN, Firewall rules, NAT rules with DMZ roles, and the list goes on.    Here is the negative: It is a managed router with an interface designed for professional network engineers.  I have worked in IT professionally for nearly 25 years and I am extremely grateful that Ubiquiti included the WAN+2LAN2 Wizard as part of their management software.  I was reading through the software manual to set the router up and I am thinking, I see how to configure DHCP, I see how to configure internal routes, now how do I set this up to use DHCP on one of the network ports that I plug in to the cable modem and set up that route to the private network served by this routers DHCP server through NAT?  It turns out the afore mentioned wizard sets up that exact configuration which can then be easily tweaked once all the parts are in place.  And that wizard matters because unlike a consumer router, there is not a dedicated jack to plug in to your modem; any of the five jacks can be configured in that role or any other role.   Basically, this little guy can make your network as intricate as you can conceive with five network ports.  Even with the wizard it is more involved than setting up a consumer router, but a little reading of the manual for individuals not familiar with the terms being used and it should not be much more difficult.  As a final note, the manual can be downloaded from the manufacturers website and if it looks overwhelming then this probably is not the product for you.

Another great managed switch from Ubiquiti

I purchased the following to replace 2 consumer grade routers. I have a Linksys WRT54G that is probably 10 years old. It was running the dd-wrt software. It's been great, but I figured it was time to upgrade. I purchased a Linksys� Max-Stream AC2200 first. It wasn't good. It needed frequent power bounces and on one occasion it completely lost the configuration. Its wireless interface was failing all the time. Very sad for $200. I returned it and reinstalled the 54G. I stumbled upon Ubiquiti and glad I did. Setup wasn't difficult, but I'm an IT guy. After a couple of hours, everything is working fine. I expect that to continue. I'll let you know if otherwise. Range of this AP is much better. I have a 2400 sq ft house on 2 levels and this covers the entire house. It reaches out to the front yard and the Linksys never did. I purchased a console cable from Amazon. (USB Console Cable USB to RJ45 Cable, labeled Moyina) I didn't need it because everything was done via direct connection (router) or the controller software (WAP and Switch). -US-8-60W UniFi 8-Port Gigabit PoE Managed Switch -UAP-AC-LR-US 802.11ac -ERLite-3 EdgeMax EdgeRouter Lite 3-Port Router

The three actions of the default set (i.e., the flashlight can be set to perform four different sets of actions when the on/off switch is depressed) are what I need and use. Choosing one of the other sets is a bit tricky but doable. Seems to have been a good purchase. I have ordered another.

The Roi is outstanding .... this is a managed POE switch. Compact, easy to set up. Performed perfectly right out of the box. I would've paid twice as much for what I got from any one else.

$30 for a managed switch that fits in the palm of your hand and can be powered by either USB-C or PoE... How can you NOT buy it? Within 5 minutes I had it adopted and fully updated it's firmware. Very happy with this little thing!

If you need a switch that can be managed by unifi and do vlan tagging this switch is perfect especially at its price point
