Model: SG2218P  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version:

I recently bought a TL-SG2218P. The specs on the store I bought it from list it as the fanless model. However, there is a small fan on the left side. I noticed the photos on the TP-Link site also have the small fan: https://www.tp-link.com/us/business-networking/omada-switch-poe/sg2218p/

 

Is this the old version that's marked as EOL on the TP-Link site? How can I tell?

 

The bottom of the switch says "Model: TL-SG2218P(UN) Ver: 1.6"

https://d.sb/ My setup: 10Gbps fiber internet, ER8411, 2 x EAP670, Mikrotik CRS312-4C+8XG-RM, Omada software controller in Docker.

  @Clive_A I can't find any stores in the USA that are selling the new version - they all say they have the version with the fan. Do you know if the new version is available in the USA yet?

Refer to the actual model number and version. Go to the support page and check out the firmware if that has been changed to the new naming.

Should be (TL-)SG2218P V1.20.

 

Our support team and I don't have the information about the shipping. Usually, if a model is listed as "New", it means it is under transition and would take several months to become available in stores.

If you'd like to know details about the availability, try out the sales email. They probably can let you know about this information.

You can try out different sources:

Hi @Dan15 

Thanks for posting in our business forum.

It looks like the EOL one. You can consider returning it.

For the new naming, you can check this out: JetStream Series Upgraded to Omada Series

 

Some have upgraded to the new naming and the firmware continues. Some are not.

On the official website, it is listed as EOL.
