Do NOT buy. The WORST “managed” network switch

I will say straight off the bat, DO NOT buy this switch, whether its for simple or advanced configs. For one, the management page is extremely extremely slow. It takes about a minute or longer to open. If you try to change the IP of the switch, well that doesn’t work, it will keep using the default IP, even if you reboot. I couldn’t even do firmware upgrades on this thing. The vlan management page is horrendous. Also, If you change the vlan on port 4, you will have to reset the switch. This is by far the worst product I’ve ever purchased in my life. Would give it negative stars if possible

Hi Jonathan,
We sincerely apologize for the issues you've faced with ExpertWiFi and any inconvenience caused.
I'd like to address your concerns:
The slow performance of the management page and the issue with changing the IP of the switch have been resolved in the latest official website version.
Regarding the firmware upgrade issues, could you please provide more details about the specific problems you're encountering? Have you followed the instructions in Section 4.6 of the user manual for updating the firmware?
We are actively investigating the VLAN management page and the VLAN configuration on port 4.
Could you please provide your email address so that we can keep you updated on our progress and offer further assistance with your firmware upgrade concerns if necessary? Alternatively, you can reach me directly at [email protected].
Thank you for choosing ASUS.

It’s an okay plug and play device . But when configuring clans this system is not a fun device to use. It’s not worth the headache of going back and forth with testing over and over. I rather spend a larger amount of money and configure in command line than use this device.

Works with third-party routers, with a catch

I thought of this product like another reviewer who gave this 1 star. I am giving it 4 because I figured out how to make it work with a network that doesn't incorporate ExpertWiFi.
I give it 4 stars because the management interface is only available on the unit itself, through port 4. I'll explain...
Basically, in order to use this with VLANs, you need to plug any computer into port 4 and leave all other ports unplugged. Set your computer to a static IP (I used 192.168.1.2). Then you can access the configuration management interface on IP 192.168.1.50.
Please note - I don't expose VLAN 1 to the network that this switch is connected to. I assume if you do, then you may want to enable DHCP in this switch's settings. That should assign it an IP that can be used for the management port.
Once connected to this device in your browser, after setting up the username and password, in VLANs, set up all your tagged and untagged VLANs, and set the PVIDs for all ports.
This seems to be where the other reviewer was lost. If you leave your computer plugged into port 4 and use the static IP on your computer, you will still be able to access this switch on 192.168.1.50 (again, assuming you don't use VLAN 1). However, if you have assigned port 4 to a different VLAN/PVID, then if you set your computer connected to port 4 to use DHCP assigned addresses, it will be assigned an IP from the given VLAN's DHCP server.
Once you've configured all your ports for VLANs and other settings, plug in all the devices to the correct ports and they will all work.
The inconvenience is having to be physically present at this switch to configure it. Otherwise, it seems to work reasonably well.
