About Goalake 5 Port Ethernet PoE Switch
Overall Feedback:
81% positive
78% liked its broad compatibility, while 22% experienced compatibility issues
The switch works really well with my Synology NAS system.
I had to upgrade the power supply on the far end because one of my devices required more power than the switch was able to supply.
The product is compatible with non-higher power devices, but the description is misleading.
I faced compatibility issues with my computer network after switching to the new Goalake switch from my previous Netgear switch.

72% praised for its redundant fan design, while 28% experienced fan failure issues
The switch is priced well for what it offers and has good durability.
After analyzing my work, it appears that the hackers are focusing on my Synology servers and trying to hack the root access to these servers.
The product only supplies 15W PoE AF, not the original PoE standard.
74% praised for its easy management features, while 26% found it complicated to set up
I had to unplug the network wire from my Netgear switch and plug it into my new Goalake switch. I discovered that my computer could not connect to the LAN at all. I also had to move my ethernet wire back to the Netgear switch, but my computer still could not connect. The device has all the bases covered well and I appreciate its forward thinking.
After installing this device, my Synology server started reporting international IP addresses trying to login into it via SSH.
I thought the switch had intelligent PoE, but it ruined my Ethernet port.
70% liked the flexible mounting options
I recommend this switch to anyone who needs a quick 8 port PoE switch, especially for operating IP cameras.
78% praised for its fast network speeds, while 22% experienced slow connectivity
The switch has two gigabit uplink ports, making it easy to connect to multiple devices and networks.
I did not try the AI function because it drops the speed to 10 Mbps and my camera uses up to 35 Mbps.
77% liked the ample port count, but 23% needed more ports for their setup
I highly recommend this switch for anyone needing an 8 port PoE switch, especially for operating IP cameras.
Plugging the switch into my computer ruined my Ethernet port.
80% appreciated the durable construction, while 20% noticed flimsy parts
The switch is durable and has a great price for its features.
I had to unplug the network wire from my Netgear switch and plug it into my new Goalake switch. All of the lights on it came on briefly and then they all went off. I discovered that my computer could not connect to the LAN at all.
I had to upgrade the power supply on the far end because one of my devices required more power than the switch could supply.
91% appreciated the robust security features, while 9% found them inadequate
This switch is a 'dumb' switch, meaning it has no interface or operating system, and is just a plug and play device.
After installing this device, my Synology server started reporting international IP addresses trying to login into it via SSH. I could see how they were auto trying different combinations of user and password combinations via an automated system, bombarding the server with logins.
The product is misleading as it only provides 15W PoE AF instead of the standard PoE+.
