Could someone take some internal pcb photos? Curious to know what's the difference from the unmanged switches...
Picked up 2 sodola SL-SWTGW218AS managed switches on amazon. One has the blue background, other has white/grey background.
The one with the blue background was delivered a earlier this week, the white background yesterday. Both ordered on 11/23.
The white background one had a newer fw initially, something from september, while the blue one had a june fw originally. Functionally they appear the same, but this is such an oddity.

I haven't seen this mentioned on any of the threads discussing the inexpensive 2.5G switches, but Amazon is selling the XikeStor version right now for $80 (on black friday it was $67). The reason I mention it is because I found this purely by chance, it does not seem to come up as a search result (I think Amazon's search is almost useless), also prime shipping is a bit quicker than normal aliexpress delivery times.
Hasivo also has the S1100 now which does management AND POE for 60usd in china.
Absolute freaking steal
Sure, if you can actually access it. As I said, IN china

最便宜的2.5G PoE网管交换机（8+1光）拆机S1100WP-8GT-1SX-SE-路由器交流
这款S1100WP-8GT-1SX-SE在京东的价格中399元。如果它不带POE也不带网管功能，这个价就不值得一提，一般价嘛。但它带了PoE供电，且还带网管（二层），还有一个重点，它的1号网口居然支持802.3bt，且是Class 8，即单口最大输出功率90W。太适合接一些高性能...
The 10GBaseT versions of these are on AliExpress (at least for NZ buyers). I got an S1100WP-8GT-1XGT-SE for $112 during singles week, but it's currently $144 after taxes and delivery.Sure, if you can actually access it. As I said, IN china

So it seems the markup for foreign buyers is ~100%.
The amz version is still $100USD after coupon - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0CFQKYDRM .
Just ordered one of these HORACO 4* 2.5BaseT + 2* 10g SFP+ web managed (no poe): https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006278753506.html
Seems like a steal at 46euro delivered after discounts

Hello again, I just updated to version 1.9, starting from version 0.6
I didn't see any significant change. Probably something under the hood? for sure they changed the +/- signs on the left menu.
If you are interested, I've attached the firmware to this post.
Notes:
EDIT:
This juicy change appeared

Notes:
- for flashing I had to be on VLAN 1, otherwise when you enter "upgrade mode" you lose connectivity to the page
- after the upgrade I lost all settings, and restoring using a backup of the configuration did not work. I had to reconfigure everything from scratch

Heads up, there's a 8 port 2.5GbE + 2 SFP+ from Seeker now
I believe the SKS1200 line is the unmanaged (or as some of the aliexpress listing say 'unmanageable') switches and the SKS3200 is the web managed switches, SKS7300 are L2 and SKS8300 are L3.

Interesting. The RTL8372 platform doesn't have support for that, and neither does the RTL8373 + RTL8224 combo as far as I'm aware. I wonder what switch chip that model is using?
MaxLinear MXL86262, It was mentioned on STH recently https://www.servethehome.com/maxlin...d-2x-10gbe-low-power-managed-switches-coming/
Only a short matter of time before Seeker or Hasivo makes a web managed model of it, i personally dont need it
So we finally see some products using those chips. Great.
EDIT: Seeker lists the power consumption as ≤ 18W in one of the images on their JD.com page. That seems kind of high to me, unless that's with every port running at full speed and power hungry 10GBase-T SFP+ modules. Would be nice to see an STH review of it.
