STRONG

STRONG's pages contradict themselves

The STRONG units here

The SW8000P eight-port gigabit switch, which has an Amazon.com listing, and a PL600M powerline pair and an AX3000 Wi-Fi 6 repeater, listed on the European Amazon stores only.

The switch

A white plastic case for desk or wall, with the mains plug listed in the box. Its page claims quiet running “with a few fans in the case”, and describes management software with QoS, IGMP and VLAN on a unit it also sells as plug and play needing no configuration. Every other switch on the shelf that mentions cooling is fanless.

The European pair

The powerline set is HomePlug AV2 at 600 Mbit/s with Fast Ethernet sockets at 100 Mbit/s, which caps everything plugged into it. The repeater turns its AX3000 class name into a rate in the title and offers an access point mode without naming a socket. Neither is sold on Amazon.com, and the powerline units are made for European outlets.
