All eight RJ-45 ports run at 10/100/1000 Mbps with auto-negotiation and auto-MDI/MDIX, delivering 16 Gbps switching capacity at 11.9 Mpps for simultaneous connections from workstations, printers, NAS drives, media servers, smart TVs, and gaming consoles. The browser-based management GUI requires no additional software. It supports IEEE 802.1Q VLAN configuration for isolating IoT devices, guest access, or departmental traffic; port-based QoS with Weighted Round Robin for gaming, video calls, or streaming prioritization; IGMP snooping v1/v2/v3 for multicast delivery; and LACP link aggregation on ports 3-4 or 7-8 for higher throughput and redundancy on NAS or file server uplinks. Port mirroring supports network diagnostics. Broadcast storm control and loop prevention run automatically. ZON Utility aids device discovery during deployment. The compact metal chassis supports desktop or wall-mount placement but not rack installation. Fully passive fanless design operates at zero acoustic noise throughout its range, suitable for desks, shelves, and noise-sensitive environments. LED ECO mode, accessible from the front panel or web GUI, disables all port activity LEDs. IEEE 802.3az Energy Efficient Ethernet scales power per link activity. MTBF is 1,266,805 hours at 25°C. Input: 100-240 V AC, 50/60 Hz. Operating temperature: 0°C to 40°C / 32°F to 104°F; storage: -40°C to 70°C / -40°F to 158°F; humidity: 10% to 95% non-condensing. Item dimensions are 155 x 85 x 26 mm / 6.1 x 3.35 x 1.02 in. and weight is 0.268 kg / 0.59 lbs. Review: Good Switch at a Great price - Only have had this product for a few days and I love it so far. It does exactly what I need it to do for my personal home ESXi Media Server and File server management. Supports IPv4 & IPv6, port LAGs (to link the file server to the Media Server with a 2Gbps LAG group), limited to 32 Vlans, which is plenty enough (not that one would need more than half a dozen for a simple home network) which allows for the traffic from the file server to the media server to never leave the switch and kept separated from other traffic. I still have to play with the Vlan tagging features more to figure out if there is a way to support more than one Vlan ID per switchport as the WebGUI is not very explicit as to how the Vlan tagging feature works. Now for the bad. A lesser concern I found is that here seems to be no feature to force the link to be at a 1000 full. It can be set to auto, 10 or 100 full but there is no 1000 full option available (granted, any device capable of 1000 full will auto-negotiate such a speed, but this seems like a bit of an oversight). The Management interface seems to also only accept simple AlphaNumeric characters (A through Z, lower and upper case and 0 to 9) but no special characters whatsoever. My greatest concern is that the management WebGUI seems to only be accessible through http and does not seem to support https or network traffic encryption in any shape or form natively. I have not yet found any firmware version (though it may very well exist) that supports https (I'd be plenty happy even with a self-signed certificate). This would be the sole reason for my rating this a 4 Star item (I would honestly rate it 4.5 if such an option existed) instead of giving it a 5 star stellar review. Overall, none of those relatively small issues, would be deal breakers or cause any major security concerns for a small home network. The switch does what it advertises to do and does it well. A definite excellent buy. Review: Awesome, inexpensive, managed switch! - Awesome, inexpensive, managed switch. For the price, this little switch is awesome! Works well, no issues with this one or any other Zyxel products I have. Easy to set up if you want to use the managed part of it or pretty much plug and play for a basic switch. ## Features - SIMPLE SETUP - Initial setup is just plug and play. Advanced features can be configured via WebGUI from any desktop web browser. - ADVANCED FEATURES - Use VLANs to segment your traffic, QoS to prioritize voice or video services, IGMP for IPTV, and more. - FASTER - Use the link aggregation feature to bond to ports together when you need speeds faster than regular Gigabit and Jumbo frames for large file transfers. - SILENT - Fanless operation keeps things running smooth and silent, no distractions here. - PORT MIRRORING - Troubleshoot troublesome network issues by easily mirroring and capturing network traffic for analysis. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07BNVV2ZT | | Best Sellers Rank | #78,472 in Electronics ( See Top 100 in Electronics ) #552 in Computer Routers | | Brand | ZYXEL | | Built-In Media | Network Switch, Power Adapter | | Color | Silver | | Compatible Devices | Personal Computer | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (173) | | Data Transfer Rate | 1000 Megabits Per Second | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00760559125479, 07605591254790 | | Interface | RJ45 | | Item Weight | 0.01 Ounces | | Manufacturer | ZYXEL | | Mfr Part Number | GS1200-8 | | Model Number | GS1200-8 | | Number of Ports | 8 | | Platform | Not Machine Specific | | Switch Type | Web Managed | | UPC | 760559125479 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Warranty Description | Limited Lifetime | ## Product Details - **Brand:** ZYXEL - **Color:** Silver - **Compatible Devices:** Personal Computer - **Included Components:** Network Switch, Power Adapter - **Number of Ports:** 8 ## Images ![GS1200-8 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51M70MIz7EL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: can you control how much megs each port get? i would like each port to get 5 megs..is that possible with this switch?** A: This switch lets you prioritize individual ports for QoS purposes, it however does not allow you to specify rate limits on each port. Take a look at our GS1920 series switches, they offer the ability to do per-port throughput limits. **Q: Does the 5 port switch do port mirroring?** A: If you have firmware v2, you can mirror to any physical port you want. This is a real plus for this network diagnostic feature at this price point. **Q: Are these stackable** A: If you mean, can they be managed by a common interface like an enterprise stackable switch, no. They can be daisy-chained though. **Q: Does Zyxel switch GS1200-5 support 802.3ad?** A: It supports VLANs and LAGs, but it's not clear if they are standards-based or if tagging is supported. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good Switch at a Great price *by F***N on October 27, 2018* Only have had this product for a few days and I love it so far.

Works well, no issues with this one or any other Zyxel products I have. Easy to set up if you want to use the managed part of it or pretty much plug and play for a basic switch. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A lot of functionality for the price *by M***F on March 10, 2022* Good feature set for the price: Minuses: - switch can not tag the default VLAN on a trunk port (like most other entry-level managed switches); - web management only - confusing firmware upload (displays fake windows path for upload - update works anyway) Plusses: + Fanless/Silent + Metal case, solid build construction, small form factor + Quick boot + Actively supported (latest firmware as of this review 13 October 2021) + Can assign the web interface VLAN to something other than the default VLAN Others have complained about the web interface being windows specific. I haven't seen that. I've configured it on a Mac/Chrome and Linux/Firefox. Neither seems to be a problem. This is both with the firmware that came with the switch V2.00(ABKM.0)CO, and after I updated to the current (as of March 2022) revision V2.00(ABKM.1)CO Configuration isn't hard - it presents the standard * PVID configuration (policy for packets entering a port) and * VLAN membership configuration (which port belongs to which VLAN(s), policy for packets exiting a port) controls. The visual layout and coloring of the ports in the interface (grey - not a member, green - access port (member, emit without tag) and orange - trunk port (member, emit tagged) make it pretty easy to understand/update the configuration. I haven't speed tested the switch; it doesn't have to be very fast for its intended use is as an edge switch. I've got it in a media center at the edge of the network - connecting both untrusted network-of-things devices to a DMZ VLAN and a wireless guest access point to a GUEST VLAN, it's web interface configured on a CONTROL VLAN, with all VLANs trunked to a main switch. I haven't had it long enough to judge the reliability. ## Frequently Bought Together - Zyxel 8 Port Gigabit Web Managed Switch | Plug & Play | Supports VLAN, QoS, IGMP & LAG | Fanless [GS1200-8] - CyberPower CP1500AVRLCD3 Intelligent LCD UPS System, 1500VA/900W, 12 Outlets, 2 USB Ports, AVR, Mini Tower, Black --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sc/products/72502879-gs1200-8](https://www.desertcart.sc/products/72502879-gs1200-8) --- *Product available on Desertcart Seychelles* *Store origin: SC* *Last updated: 2026-04-30*
