Специально для лентяев, которые ну никак не хотят играть в "угадайку" совместимости...




Before I had:
Cable > modem > Switch > Wireless router
I thought that was working because I was getting wireless connection and all devices running off the wifi router were fine.
Once I started plugging into the switch; nothing was getting recognized.
After exhausting all my options; I called customer service and a tech told me that my setup was incorrect.
New setup:
Cable > modem > wifi > switch
After fixing those cables up; I plugged my devices in and everything connected instantly.



My only complaint is with the jack indicators. There is only a single green LED per jack, and it's recessed below a tiny hole in the metal box, so it's hard to see unless you are looking straight at it. Also, since it's a single color, you can't tell which speed the jack has negotiated to...which isn't a big deal, but can be useful for troubleshooting. I have it mounted in a wall panel and 99% of the time it's going to be out of sight and out of mind...so it really isn't a big deal for me, but worth considering for someone else.
If you are specifically looking for a switch that doesn't put out a ton of light (ie. in a theater room) this would be a good option. Some of the other switches and routers put out enough light to read a book by (like my Netgear Nighthawk router...)


I bought this switch because I was looking to further segment off my devices on my network for functionality and security sake. I already had VLANs set up with my wifi routers on FreshTomato, and pfSense as main router. I needed another stage between to better segment those and add more.
There was a very slight learning curve for setting up the VLANs in the GUI, but nothing extreme and pretty much every product family has a different way of handling VLAN setup, so I wasn't surprised. Having the Port ID tag on a different page than the VLAN port tagging seems unnecessary to me, but it's not a hard concept.
All in all, I'm happy with my purchase and don't think anyone looking to expand a small network would be either.




This switch also doesn't give you an indication if you are on 10/100/1000 speed. Even though this switch doesn't cost much, it is a complete waste of my money. I also cannot return it, since it will cost more than the switch. I am going to order another Net Gear..


The down side is that the cord on the power supply is roughly 30 inches long, annoyingly short for some situations and shorter than came with my old hub and the orientation of the wall wort relative to the prongs works poorly with a power strip because it covers an outlet.






The previous design had green & amber lights to differentiate between gigabit and 10/100. Very useful for debugging issues.
Same model number. Different design. According to the TP-Link website, this new “improved” variant is the “V4” version.
I had two of the good ones already and rebought a third and got this garbage.
The only reason I can think they did this is for cost. Will definitely think twice about buying another TP-Link product.

I mounted the switch to a rack in the basement and ran my cabling to a patch panel. From there, I patched the cables into the switch along with the FiOS router and my NAS. I plugged my PC into my newly installed Ethernet jack (used WiFi for the longest time) and moved my WiFi router to a central point in the house, as well.
After I connected it all up the switch worked exactly how it needed to. No configuration needed as it’s an unmanaged switched (wasn’t looking for anything that complicated). I noticed my speed
I would recommend this switch.
