5 Stars
Works with iPhone 15
I connected it to my iPhone 15, and the 2.5GbE indicator on the switch immediately lit up. After a few seconds, the iPhone gets an IP. It does not make much difference for internet access (wifi is good enough for this), but it shows when transferring files inside your network.
