Shipping
This came fast and works as supposed to.
Packaging/appearance
Product is working as description and came in the box with manuals and power adapter and power cable.
Competitiveness
Buying a switch that is fully integrated with a management console like unifi or omada.
There are different hardware versions and i received on with v2 and the other was v5.
Due to supply shortages, i needed to find something in comparison for a quick project.
The wall mount holes are great to have, and tp-link is a trusted brand.
