The menus of the two devices are absolutely identical. The newer model is labeled ZX-SWTGW218AS, the older one is labeled LG-SWTGW218AS. However, the designation can also be complete nonsense, as it can be changed at will. The color settings and the logo can also be changed as desired. I have also deactivated the Chinese language in the default settings so that I only have English to choose from on the login screen.
That's... not what I was expecting. I thought it was a MaxLinear when I bought it but did they figure out what looks like two RTL8373 to form 8x2.5G + 2x10G SFP+?
There's no way RTL8373 + RTL8224 could do 8x2.5G + 2x10G SFP+ is there
It's the sirivision model by the way. The Seeker ran out of stock when I was about to buy it during LNY so I found the sirivision
High quality Networking With 2.5 Gigabit Switch 4K MAC Address Table, 2 10G SFP+ Uplink Ports from China, China's leading 2.5 Gigabit Switch product, with strict quality control 2.5 Gigabit Switch factories, producing high quality 2.5 Gigabit Switch products.
The maxlinear Seeker is connected to my bench PSU and its reading 6.72W (0.56A @ 12V, spikes to 0.61A when link initialized) with 2 SFP+ AOC attached and all 8 2.5GbE plugged in to another switch
(I have a video for proof)
And yes I realized you can't see the seeker switch under all that cabling... You do what you do

Very reasonable. I have yet to integrate to my system yet but I'm likely going to use it in my room since the SFP+ gear are all outside and on the TP Link 8 SFP+ switch already

I've bought the ampcom version of this, and what's weird is that, before, I have green lights to the ports where I have 2.5gb connection, now they are all showing orange. I also can't access the webgui nor can ping it now.
I tried the reset button (hold it for more than 10 seconds, even went as far as 30 secs) with no changes, I still can't ping/access the default IP of 192.168.2.1 (I've set my machine to be in the same subnet as the default).
It is currently working as a normal switch right now. Can someone upload the manual that came with this device (I can't find mine anymore).
I might pull the trigger on it, fits exactly what i need immediately perfect size and don't need L3. I see people purchased the smaller ones and came out just fine.
Hi There, looking forward to buy one of these switches and convert them to managed. I specifically want to have the possibility to change the management VLAN to a value different from 1. AFAIK this could be possible editing the correct firmware value, at the end if all interfaces are set to 1, can be set to 749 for example in the same way. I am wrong?
Another question, it's not possible to attach for example an raspberry pi-like to the realtek SPI port and work with openwrt from there?
I know this is for other Realtek 9303 IC, but I found some interesting links and I want to share with you anyway just because anything of this can be replicated
Действительно дешёвый 2,5-гигабитный свитч. Да ещё и с двумя 10-гигабитными портами. Да ещё и управляемый с массой дополнительных возможностей Когда я 3,5 года назад делал обзор 2,5 гигабитной сетевой карты ...

I have a lot of curiosity about this switches. Thank you! Regards!

Most of these L2 managed switches with very basic features do not have a concept of management VLAN and the web UI is accessible on all ports from any VLAN. At the moment the only model that can set a management VLAN is the TP-Link TL-SE2109 (as well as other models in the same series) with a Chinese language only web UI. If that is not suitable then RTL9309 based L3 managed switches will have the option to set a management VLAN.
I want to buy another Horaco switch in the current sale, but this time managed and with POE - since the two unmanaged ones work flawlessly.
But I wonder: is there any kind of POE control/monitoring in the web interface? Does anybody know?
Thanks.
About MaxLinear switches, there's unmanaged Tenda TEM2010x - it runs MxL86282C "unmanaged" variant. 8x 2.5G + 2x10G ports.
I ordered one, just arrived. Of course the first thing you do after receiving a new device is void the warranty by disassembling it, confirming it is in fact MaxLinear switch and then dumping the flash in programmer and look for UARTs
So there are two UART ports, one provides no output, one is firmware running on MaxLinear SoC - this is Zephyr OS on what is probably ARCompact architecture. Since datasheet mentions different SKUs for web-managed and unmanaged switches, with "dedicated core" for running management stuff on managed - I bet those use "more usual" arch core to do the mgmt stuff.
It has a nice shell, some interesting bits from initial discovery. Mostly hidden in spoilers as there's a lot of text.

switch_cli command contains Intel/Lantiq API commands for controlling the switch.
xpcs_cli, msec_cli, mac_cli - they contain similar commands API for other parts of the switch, xpcs is for SFP ports and so on...
Packets from internal interface definitely are visible on the switch, just not passing through it. Since that was preliminary investigation - I didn't find a way to enable it (yet). Seem to be Port 0 (physical ports start from nPortID 1).
I didn't test performance, but all I know is that I run Zyxels XGS1010-12 flashed to XGS1210 (web managed) firmware and they run much hotter. Tenda has 12V 1A PSU with 10 ports, zyxels have 12V 1.5A with 12 ports (8x1G, 2x2.5G, 2x10G SFP+)
