During my internship, I had the opportunity to work with various commercial networking, firewall, CCTV, and Wi-Fi devices from companies like Cisco, Netgear, Tplink, Ruijie, Reyee, Aruba, Ubiquiti, Fortinet, Dahua, HiVision, WiseNet, and more. Additionally, the company utilized single-board computers such as Raspberry Pi, Orange Pi, and Banana Pi to develop their own products. I will provide an overview of these devices as I discuss my experience working with them.

Budget-friendly yet reliable and feature-rich

The RG-ES205GC offers an impressive range of features at a price point below US$30, making it one of the most cost-effective managed Gigabit edge switches available in the market. This compact switch is ideal for network applications that require performance and reliability. It can be easily managed through a web interface, mobile app, and even comes with a lifetime free cloud service. The switch’s reliability has been thoroughly tested, with over 100 units deployed in the field for over 6 months without a single fault incident. This track record is why the manufacturer confidently provides a 36-month warranty.
