I didn't write one up to be honest. I only use it as an unmanaged switch, but I have no complaints. It transfers at 10gb no problem, isn't picky about transceivers and power consumption is fine (it doesn't seem to get super warm to the touch).
My issue with it (GoodTop) is that you can't mix 1G, 2.5G, and 10G all at the same time.

8 ports is a bit overkill for my needs, but 4-5 port version would be nice...anyone aware of one? (Basically looking for a cheaper version of the MikroTik CRS305, I guess).

If you want 10G, the 8 port GoodTop is only $99 on Amazon right now and $70 cheaper than the 5 port they have listed on their website. Otherwise there is a 2.5G 5 port for $35 on Amazon.

Just keep in mind my note that this switch can't mix 1G, 2.5G, and 10G all at the same time. That is, you get 1G/10G or 2.5G/10G for all ports, not 1G/2.5G/10G mixed.

I would up returning it and buying the CRS309. (for 2.5x price)

Hi, i just registered to talk about this type of devices
i actually have the "superior" version L3 labeled as ZX530S-8S


Loader Version 1.0.0.2
Loader Date Mar 21 2025 - 08:10:03
Firmware Version 1.1.1.30
Firmware Date Mar 21 2025 - 08:06:24


I think it's actually the same switch as the ZX-SWTGW2C8F but with a console port soldered.

I have been making some tests:

I can access the root console using the openwrt guide over ssh
The web interface it's pretty similar to the "web only"


Based on the root console i can gather this info about the cpu

~ # cat /proc/cpuinfo
system type : RTL9300
machine : RTL9300
processor : 0
cpu model : MIPS 34Kc V5.5
BogoMIPS : 531.66
wait instruction : yes
microsecond timers : yes
tlb_entries : 32
extra interrupt vector : yes
hardware watchpoint : no
isa : mips1 mips32r2
ASEs implemented : mips16
shadow register sets : 1
kscratch registers : 0
package : 0
core : 0


Also, looking at the files, on /etc/ i can see 2 files, one called oem_config
~ # cat /etc/oem_config
!!!9303 oem
username:admin
password:admin
ipaddr:192.168.2.1
ipmask:255.255.255.0
gateway:192.168.2.254
sysname:Switch
location:default
contact:default
timezone:480


/etc # cat version
Realtek/Switch Version 3.2.0 -- Fri Mar 21 07:56:40 UTC 2025
/etc #

All of these RTL9303/RTL9313's are all on the same base firmware

I got 1.1.1.35 Out of my OEM a while ago for my 8 RJ45 + 4 SFP+ (from 1.1.1.31)

Im sure it also exists for the SFP+ only switches somewhere

ofc this goes without saying
dont got flashing the 8 RJ45 + 4 SFP+ firmware to an 8 SFP+ device
