Perfect for my needs - "basic" home network
[TP-Link 24-Port Gigabit Ethernet Unmanaged Switch (TL-SG1024)]
I used this to complete my network when prewiring a home I was building. While I have a pretty good understanding of networking, I'm far from being a network architect.
I used this to distribute internet connectivity throughout my house. Installation was quick and easy and I haven't had to give the switch any attention since installing it.

VLAN support minimal
I just bought two of these to change one ethernet cable into two. Huh? Simple - I have an ethernet cable connecting two parts of my house. Want it to behave like two cables- one on the Internet, the other one on my private net.
The reasonable and ordinary way to accomplish this is to use VLANs. You set up a VLAN that is port-based, and also tagged. So ports 1 and 2 might be on VLAN 2, and ports 3 & 4 on VLAN 3. VLANs 2 and 3 then squirt (now tagged) out another port which goes to the other end of the cable - where another switch converts them into port-based again.
So you wind up with a system that looks like two Ethernet cables, when you really only have one. This saves you from having to run the second cable.
It's a fairly common and ordinary use case.
UNFORTUNATELY, although this unit supports both port-based and tagged VLANS, it will not do both at the same time. You can have port-based....OR you can have tagged. But not both. Makes it useless for my purpose.

Great switch box for basement devices
We finished our basement and because the wifi router is three floors away, I wanted to "hard wire" as many dedicated devices as I could down there. This worked perfectly. Just brought a Cat6 line down from the router on the second floor and then branched other Cat 5s off to the smart TV, XBox, Roku, and home office. Funny how those 8 ports start to fill up. I put this under the steps where it could sit on the stud blocking, keeping it out of the way. Everything hooked up through this is super fast. Way quicker than the wifi. Very pleased. Plan to tap into it for the main floor TV and Roku next it is so good and I have a couple of extra ports. Metal construction which is nice.

Check your cables if you have speed issues
Doesnt deliver gigabit speed wired in. Wont deliver anything past 100mbps. I wired my computer directly to my modem and my router and got my full ISP speed. I used this splitter to hardwire my house and my wall jacks were only giving me 90mbps wired. Plugged my laptop directly to the splitter and it capped at 90mbps as well. Don’t trust the ports they aren’t 10/100/1000
**UPDATE** turns out the ethernet cord included with the switch was defective. I replaced it with a 5ft amazon basics RJ45 CAT6 and now receive full speed 300mbps. Changing review to four stars because included connections were faulty. Also purchased a 5 port switch that had the same issue. Replaced the in box ethernet cable and that fixes my speed. Recommend not using the included cables.

Work for 3 1/2 years then died, still under warranty but getting it replaced is not easy
I would have given this product 5 stars if it were not for a warranty system that is broken. Limited lifetime warranty is 5 years not lifetime but only on their SMB (Small Business) which this 24 port switch is.
Here is my experience so far
1. My serial would not register, registering is required for warranty. Lucky when you buy from amazon you always have a receipt. I had to email support to get them to register the serial so I could enter it.
2. Then I had to call support one registered and got a person from asia that had a hard time understanding me and i also had a hard time understanding them. I said I had entered my Invoice on the registration page but they wanted an emailed copy? SO I send them a copy while on the phone.
3. Waited a few days for them to respond.
4. Finally got my RMA but they provided no shipping address or instructions. Generally with a warranty a company say put this sheet into the box or write the rma number on the box. Nothing but follow the shipping instructions which I never saw. Maybe it was a popup that didn't pop who knows..
5. I am now into tis 6 days with a dead switch and trying to figure out how to ship this and to whom. I guess I will eventually get this replaced. I was lucky I had a D-Link spare 24 port switch.
I think from now on I will not purchase any TP-Link devices. I have had luck with TP-Link switches,wireless routers and repeaters but if warranty is this much of a hassle then there are many other companies with similar products IMO.

Intermittent Freezing
I work from home and while I can run everything from wireless, I prefer a reliable hardwire for consistent connectivity. Unfortunately the TP-Link just didn't work for me...primarily due to the intermittent freezing. Fortunately I picked up a D-Link (DGS-108) that's much more consistent.
I purchased this TP-Link 8 port switch to handle my home network of computers (personal and business laptops for me and my wife, so 4 computers plus printer, router, and wifi. That's not a ton of traffic or playing games that consume a ton a bandwidth. On an intermittent basis the hard wired connections just bombed out.
Troubleshooting became a habit every third or fourth day. I checked with my service provider, double checked my router, wifi, cables, and switch. It was a bit crazy making, but after testing and getting other expert opinions, I swapped out my gigbit ethernet switch and all is back to being wonderful.
So, while this equipment was half off, I spent hundreds of dollars worth of time and dozens upon dozens of hours trying to fix or figure out something that was resolved by swapping out a simple switch for $30.
This is just my experience. You might have better luck with this product than I did. Good luck!

Why is the power cord on the opposite side from the ethernet ports? Doesn't work with AT&T router
It works okay if you're not using an AT&T router, but if you put this on or near your stack of routers and modems, there's going to be either an unsightly power cable or ethernet wires coming out of the front. There's no good way of avoiding that, aside from hiding the hub someplace and then running nothing but long wires to it. Dear TP-Link: PUT THE POWER CABLE ON THE SAME SIDE AS THE ETHERNET PORTS. Then you can put nothing but a pilot light and branding on the front. It will look so much better -- for both you and me. All of my routers and modems are intelligently designed like that. Why aren't you doing the same?

Low price to have extra gigabit ports beyond an 8 port POE+ switch, but has only 110 watts total POE+ power available
8 ports of POE+ and 8 ports non-POE. Works fine and management web interfaces allows convenient remote control of POE power. Be sure to click on "save settings" to store your settings. Simply applying settings makes your adjustments take effect, but not stored across reboots. You HAVE to also save your settings for them to survive across reboots.
Fan is quite loud. This is not a unit you want in open air of an occupied room. Definitely plan on placing within an enclosure like a structured media center. Otherwise, its little fan is "microwave oven running" loud.
Caution: POE power limit is actually 110 watts, not the 124 watts in the Amazon product listing. This can be a problem at night with a full complement of eight PTZ cameras. You can easily go over the POE power limit. The switch will automatically shut down POE power starting with highest numbered POE+ port.

This is a PoE switch, not PoE+. Tech support is unreachable after 30 minutes.
I've bought a lot (yes, a LOT) of TP-Link products in the past and have generally been satisfied. However with this TL-SG1210P switch I am utterly disappointed.
1. This is a PoE switch (802.3af), not PoE+ switch (802.3at), according to the Ruckus R710 wireless access point connected to it. The Ruckus is the ONLY PoE device connected to it, and the switch's status light does not indict any power budget overage. I chose this switch specifically for its claimed 802.3at capability as 802.3af does not provide enough power for Ruckus R710, forcing it to operate at reduced capabilities.
2. I then tried to contact TP-Link technical support. The chat page on their website hangs indefinitely. I called the 800 number and was put on hold for more than 30 minutes when I just gave up.
TP-Link folks -- if you are reading this review, please understand that you can't sell an "business" product in the US this way. Your product needs to conform to its published specs, and you need to have a reachable technical support during normal business hours. Otherwise you might as well say no support is provided. That'd be much better than wasting your customers' time before they realize that you really have no support!

TP-Link has the worst product/customer support I have ever encountered
The switch (TL-SG10116D) comes with a 5 year warranty and has performed well until it stopped working 3 years later.
If your switch ever needs replacement under warranty you are in for a very difficult time. TP-Link has the worst product/customer support I have ever encountered. July 11, 2016 I was issued a ticket number to get an RMA emailed to me. It’s now July 24, 2016 and nothing. Call after call and email after email with no success. They have my correct information and can’t get an RMA. Google their customer service review at: [...]
They have good products but don’t buy thinking that you have a warranty you can rely on.

It doesn't get any easier than this for an L2 switch
These TP-Link metal cased switched are very good. I've installed close to a dozen and none have ever had an issue. Can't say the same for Netgear or D-Link.
What really stands out to me are all the protocols it understands to help shape traffic. It may be super easy to use with absolutely no setup, but that doesn't mean it is just a dumb switch. It understands VOIP and other prioritized traffic and sends those tags along appropriately.
Lately, I've been using these along with their Deco M5 wireless mesh system. The internet feed goes into one of the M5's, out to this switch, and then all the other M5's and wired peripherals plug into this. I've had to get the 16-port version of this as well for slightly larger installs. Every install was super easy and I get full gigabit bandwidth every time.
And the price? Are you kidding me - this is about as affordable as you can go before sacrificing quality and functionality.
The bad side - they came out with a plastic version of this in 2020 which isn't as good. Doesn't support all the same protocols. So I'll pay the extra few bucks to keep getting this one with the metal housing.

Purchased to assign VLAN for CenturyLink Fiber
Purchased it for one purpose only, which is to assign VLAN tag to the CenturyLink Fiber ONT so I can use my Netgear router (which doesn't support such tagging). This managed switch does exactly that and I have now returned the Centurylink supplied router, and this saves me $15/month in "rental" fee. This pays itself back in less than 2 months.
Set and forget. As long as it lasts, there should be no issue. My un-managed TP-Link Switch has been up for at least three years and I am sure this one should have no problem as well.

Nice Rack Mountable Switch - Does Include the Necessary Rack-Mount Hardware!
This is a basic unmanaged 16 port gigabit switch with all the basic features needed for someone running a small home network (or possibly a small office network). The switch is fanless and thus 100% quiet, and all of the ports automatically detect what is plugged into them and will adjust accordingly. This means that not only do they auto-negotiate with devices operating at other speeds, but they also will detect which port is coming from your router (or another switch) without you having to use a specific port for that purpose.
There seems to be some confusion between this model (TL-SG1016) which is designed as a rackmount switch and the other version (TL-SG1016D) which can either be a rackmount OR a desktop switch. Functionality wise there is no difference between the two, however the "D" version is only 13 inches wide and if you wish to rack mount it, you'll use the included brackets which allow it to mount to a 19 inch rack. The non "D" version (the version I purchased) is 19" and does come with the rack mount ears that allow you to fasten it to the rack itself.
There is some misinformation out there that suggests this version doesn't come with the rack mount hardware and that is simply incorrect. It doesn't come with the rackmount "kit" that the "D" version includes because it isn't necessary as it is already the correct width, but it does come with the rackmount ears and the screws required to fasten the ears on to the switch. It does NOT come with screws used to fasten the switch to the actual rack, but that is likely because there are several different sizes of rack screws... so you're on you own there.
One interesting thing about the mounting ears is that they are designed to be rotated in four directions. This means you can mount the switch directly to a wall simply by rotating the mounting ears 90 degrees. You can also rotate them 180 degrees to allow the switch to sit in front of the face of your rack as this pushes the mounting position back around two inches. If you have a shallow mounting bracket rather than a full rack this may be useful, but keep in mind the power cord for this unit goes directly out the back, so depending upon how much space you have it could still pose problems. Each ear mounts with four screws (also included) and they are plenty sturdy.
They also include some rubber feet if you decide to sit this on a shelf. Not much else to it. If you want a rackmount option this is a good one. If you prefer something a bit smaller that you could leave on a desk or on shelf near your cable modem, you might find the "D" version is a better fit. The only real difference is physical size and how much air space is inside the case.

It just works
We purchased this primarily for use with our Bitcoin miners. Each one has it's own Ethernet cable and that would mean we wouldn't have enough spots in our router. With this, we plug them in, and it into the router, and it just works. We don't have to configure anything, although we can still setup a static IP address within the router for each device by mac address and expect that those settings will work. Another advantage of this is that we could set this up in the basement then run a single Ethernet cable through the floors and be able to make any adjustments to wiring in the basement without having to rewire the entire house.
We have had it running since buying 9 months ago, and we never once had to reboot it. Even when we have to turn the miners off for maintenance we can leave this running and expect that they will immediately work as soon as they are turned back on.
We haven't tested these with any other device (yet), but I fully expect that it will work for other devices. I'm planning on buying another one to go in my upstairs office, to run Ethernet there to save on wiring complexity and the next time I have a new house built I'd probably plan the Ethernet wiring around one of these, instead of a hub, because everything can go to one place and the hub could then go in any room.
Another big positive about this is that it worked the same with both NEMA 6-15P outlets (240 volts) and NEMA 5-15P (120 volts). This is important for us, because we can run twice as many devices with 240v than we can with 120v, but we have less 240v outlets so we appreciate being able to switch to 120v if we need to for a device that uses more watts.

Compact size
This is a review on the TP-Link TL-SG108 (8-port Gb) switch. Physically, this device looks much like any other network switch/router that you'd find in a server rack, with the exception that this one is unmanaged (you cannot make any configuration changes like QoS, etc.). However, that is probably irrelevant since most likely the people who end up buying this will be using it at home to just extend their network ports for physical connection.
This switch is rather compact, which is a good thing as it can fit pretty much anywhere. One note to take is be advise the power connector is on the back and the ethernet ports are in the front, which depending on where you're thinking about placing it, could be a big factor as at least one cable (power or ethernet) will be exposed at all times. This is true unless the switch is mounted on the wall and hidden behind some other equipment. If aesthetics is something you're looking for, I suggest buying the model TL-SG1008D, which looks a bit nicer and has all the connections in the back. I personally don't care about the looks as I have placed it in the attic in order to connect all the ethernet cables that run to each of the rooms of my house. I also ran a Cat-6 ethernet cable all the way to my ISP modem which is located in the master closet. Yup, that required some work but it looks much nicer to have all cables ran through the attic than be visibly exposed. Now according to the manual, this device can safely operate between 32-104 degrees Fahrenheit, and since I live in Texas, that could be a challenge during the summer. I'll add another update this fall on how this switched withstood the hot Texas summer. I've had a model TL-SG1008D, which is made out of plastic as opposed to metal so again, only time will tell how this one operates.
So far, the TL-SG108 has been working just fine and I haven't noticed any loss of bandwidth when performing a speed test on my wired computers. This switch works just as expected and if you just need to add more ethernet ports to your home network, then this TP Link ethernet switch perfectly works for that purpose.

I needed something simple, cheap, and a small footprint with gigabit. This was perfect. The way that amazon wants me to review things the wifi signal from this hardwired switch sucks like you wouldn't believe... I can't even access anything on the hardwired switch to be able to configure a wireless signal. Now, if this were a wireless access point or a router with wireless capabilities, I'm sure it would have some way to modify the SSID and passphrase with some sort of encryption functionality. Oh and the tech support side of things is almost non-existent since I haven't had a reason to call them yet, I couldn't tell if it's worth the hassle. I mean, wired, how hard is it to figure out... this isn't exactly rocket science here.

10-minute install
Worked great right out of the box, simply had to plug it in and it grabbed an IP automatically and I was able to start plugging devices into it.
It inspired me to make some adjustments to my home network setup and now I have redone my entire network and have things running into the switch instead of directly into my router. Everything works great, and was able to free up the power cord from my desk phone by powering the phone with PoE.
The switch was dead simple to install, it was plug-and-play. I went into the GUI just to poke around but if I recall correctly everything was already set-up and you don't even need to do that step. The GUI is pretty basic but if you have used Netgear routers in the past, it is very familiar and easy to figure out.
My only complaint is that I wish the ports were on the back instead of the front, but I think this device is built for more advanced setups than I currently have, in which case you would have this switch mounted on a rack or accepting patch cables from a patch panel.
The 8 ports are more than enough for me now, and technically I only needed one PoE port so its great to be able to grow into this device. I may purchase an access point or purchase another router to use as an access point and expand my network.
Either way, I know this device works great and will serve me well for years to come. Thanks, Netgear! I always love Netgear products.

Management GUI Problematic
I have an unmanaged TP Link switch that works excellent and was excited to add this managed switch with POE to my expanding network. I was able to change my network adapter settings allowing me to access the device's default IP address and the logged into the GUI where I was able to change the IP address to something that conforms to my network. When I saved the configuration I was booted out, which makes sense since the new IP address I provided is on a different subnet.
I was able to use the new IP address to access the switch, but after about a minute I suddenly lost access and could not get back into the device. I reset it back to factory and logged into 192.168.0.1 (default) and changed it again and was again booted out of the new IP address as before. Eventually, I hooked it up to my network and it worked well as an unmanaged switch, but I still could not access the GUI. After a couple hours I gave up and returned the item.
Perhaps I was doing something wrong and this could have been solved by TP Link customer support but I don't know why the switch should be so difficult to access.

Cheap unmanaged switch for my home
I moved into a new construction recently. The home was pre-wired with CAT6 cable, but there wasn't a switch at the panel to connect all my devices. I bought this so I could move my wireless cable modem/wireless router to another room instead of having it sit on my carpet in the corner of my room. I had some issues with it initially when I tried to connect my computer and TV to the switch, and even tried assigning static ip address to the devices. I ended up moving the modem (which has a built in router and lan ports) to another room and attached the devices directly to the modem and the switch to my network outlet then they finally worked. Technically it works, but if I had to do it all over again I would have spent the extra $7 and got the managed TP-Link (easy) switch instead of spending hours trying to figure out why the switch wouldn't recognize my devices even though the lights were on. If you're not tech savvy do yourself a favor and just spend the extra money on the managed switch instead of tinkering with network settings.

16 port smart switch with 8 ports poe but no PoE
I originally purchased this switch to support my cisco WAPs and a few IP cameras which needed to be on separate vlans. First lets start with the VLAN control on this "smart" gui. Its horrible and non-intuitive. In order to get a basic access port set up, you have to navigate between two different screens for PVID and also have it untagged for that particular vlan in the 802.1Q vlan tab and remove all other members. Makes no sense. Also, the silly way they have it done is with radials per vlan, not per interface so there is alot of info hidden until you input the magic number on the vlane line. But that wasnt even the deal breaker for this device.
The fatal flaw is that PoE stops being live after a reboot. If you plug in a device that needs PoE, the port does not power up. You have to reboot the entire switch, with the PoE device plugged in, before it decides to provide power. Obviously, I dont want to reboot my switch every time I plug something in. At this point, id rather use power injectors than this silly switch.

Review # 13,237... What can I add?
Nothing... Just a simple bit of praise for the little switch that could.
I purchased the 8 port, unmanaged model without POE.
This is a simple switch for use to expand simple networks wired connectivity. It can be used to add additional ports to a typical home router. Or it can be used in more complex installs as long as the user understands its limitations. As its an unmanaged switch, this box cannot process VLAN tags. I have not tested whether it can pass these or not. If I do I will update.
In my install I'm branching this from a managed switch. I configued the downlink port on the main switch to pass untagged traffic to my desired sub-net to this swicth. This switch feeds my streaming players and game systems. This allows me to free up airtime on my wifi and provide a more stable and fastest possible connection to my devices. The link indicators are small and not distracting even considering these are on my entertainment center.
Bottom line, its plug an play for anyone who doesn't moonlight as a network administrator. Its also a cheap and viable option for those looking expand soho networks as long as the branch is single network. For $20 I can't recommend a better switch.

Not a completely DUMB switch as I wanted
The negative reviews scared me some but it turned out they have nothing to do with this unmanaged, a.k.a. "dumb" switch SG108 I wanted and purchased. I wanted a layer-2, dumb switch, no vpn, no vlan, no link aggregation, a simple "splitter" for my flat LAN. There is nothing to install or configure, it's totally plug&play. I had only 3 requirements: metal box, low power consumption, and cool running, see pics. This SG108 power supply makes no noise and is rated 9v 0.6a which is comparable to your iPhone charger. After running 4 HD streams for 1/2 hour, housing temp feels ambient to me, not even warm, vs my 15 years old which ran 20+F above ambient. There are vent holes on both sides and of course no fan. If I find anything of value may come back for a long term review. If I had to do this again, I probably would had pay another $15 for the dumb Netgear which looks a bit better aesthetically to me, but for a box that's hidden in a closet anyways this tp-link should perform just fine.
UPDATE: I failed to notice this unmanaged box knows and acts over 802.1p %*&^#*. I already got QOS on my firewall and don't want to double-QOS so I may be forced to get the managed one instead because there is no way to turn off QOS on this box. DIGRESS on the Netgear, TP-link got easier to see at-a-glance amber+green LEDs, Netgears are, all jumbled greens.
GREEN UPDATE: 8 ports (hardware V3) unmanaged consumes 2 watts @idle, and up to 3 watts with 5 active ports

Enterprise features at a SOHO price, sturdy metal housing with wall-mounting slots
My mother lives in one of those sprawling rambler houses that has been added onto by various people over the years and the result is a challenging WiFi environment as no matter where the router is, there are a lot of walls and things between the router and somewhere. I ended up getting a pair of older enterprise grade mesh access points and then needed a gigabit switch supporting POE for the backbone. I went with this after scouring reviews as it ticked all the boxes and seemed to offer a good value. So far I've been impressed, it's a managed switch that allows me to set up multiple VLANs and assign specific ports to them and some other handy features that I don't typically see outside of corporate environments. Installation was painless and it has been up and running for several months now without any issues at all. The only complaint I have is that while the switch itself has mounting slots in the bottom enabling it to be mounted to the wall, the separate AC adapter does not. I ended up having to use a pair of those zip ties that have screw holes in the end to attach the power brick to the wall near the switch so it wouldn't be dangling on the garage floor. Other than that this is a solid switch that just quietly sits there doing exactly what a switch is supposed to do, I have not had to go over there and play IT guy even once since I set it up.

Stopped working after 6 months
Device was working, albeit in a spotty fashion, for about six months - occasionally devices would be unable to connect until after restarting the switch. Today, it seems to have up and died completely - nothing is able to get an IP address while connected, as if my DHCP server just isn't there. Was fine yesterday; went to my computer today, saw the dreaded "No Internet" symbol. Rebooted the switch, nothing - only one side of the link lights was flashing for each port. Checked a different computer connected to my router that doesn't go through the switch and that one was fine. Wifi was fine. Rebooted my router anyway to be safe. Still nothing. Rebooted the switch again, nothing. Plugged the lead cable to the switch directly into my computer and I was able to get an IP address with no issues. Replaced with another switch entirely and the problem disappeared. So, overnight, something happened to the switch that caused it to block clients on the other end from connecting to my DHCP server, and effectively made itself useless. No bueno.

All my devices now see each other!
I have a WIFI MESH system set up. (Highly recommend one for people with weak WiFi areas in their homes)
So internet comes into my house through my internet providers router then to my mesh system (AmpliFI by Obuntu but there are plenty of systems out there)
then my Wi-Fi signals are parsed from there.
Great. Fantastic coverage through my home.
Issue i had:
I have 7 devices that require a LAN connection instead of Wi-Fi. I had to use the LAN ports on router (4) and on my Mesh Wi-Fi router (4)
they all got connection to the internet but couldn't see each other across routers. Now Alexa couldn't control my Sonos speakers, media center and NAS drive media.
solution. got this switch(cheap as hek too).
plugged into Wi-Fi mesh router and plugged everything into the switch. VIOLA success!
All my Wi-Fi can see all my wired devices.
No admin required on my part. just plug and play. Smart and easy.
As long as it holds up this is money very well spent

Great upgrade for existing 10/100 POE switch. Fan noise is minimal.
I bought this to increase port availability on an existing 8 port 10/100 switch that was full. The original 4 POE ports were not GB and was causing lagging and stutters in my NVR recording with the attached cameras and IP phone. I also had been adding other hardware requiring hardwire connections and needed the extra ports.
This gave me the extra ports and the GB speed to help smooth out my NVR recording/viewing.
My previous switch was fanless and I was concerned about this unit being too loud for my small office where half of my IT equipment is located. The switch is now mounted 12" behind my monitors on the wall and with the house quiet, I can barely notice the fan running. It is audible but not enough to cause disruption while working or during video meetings. If I ever feel that the fan gets louder, there is a quiet fan direct replacement that can be easily swapped out for under $20.
I like that fact that I was initially able to just plug and play with the switch. My router auto assigned an address and everything was up and running. Later I found the new address, logged in, changed the PW, and updated the software. Easy Peasy.
I like that I have options with the switch if I choose to or I can just run with it as is. Power draw is minimal with the cameras and phone and the switch never gets warm.
So far I am very happy with the purchase and will buy another when the time comes for the other side of the house.

Works as intended
Very happy with this. We live in a house that has an architect metal roof as well as a slab instead of a basement, and ceramic tiles on the floor ... so we have a problem with the internet reaching all the places in our 1800 sq. foot one floor home. In fact, I was using the regular router/modem and two extenders just to get the signal to the next room so we could watch Netflix on the TV. We decided to go a different way ... we moved the modem / router to the living room and put one of these boxes in each office (which go in different directions with the living room in the middle). NOW we have the Netflix set up as a wired connection and not wireless and it all works good as gold. These boxes also work well because my husband and I each have two laptops that we can now connect with an ethernet cable if we are in the office and still have the ability to connect wirelessly if we are in the living room. These (two) boxes made our home life much much easier with less frustration. GREAT PRODUCT.

Reliable, inexpensive, well-build 8-port dumb switch
I own three of these, purchased over many years. They are rock solid and have solid metal construction. I’ve never had a single dead port. It’s a dumb switch, so if you know what that is (i.e. if you know this isn’t a router or a managed switch), then this is just what you need.
Minor feature I really appreciate: it comes with four little rubber pads to use as feet, but it also comes with two mounting holes on the bottom for a flush wall mount (however it does not come with mounting hardware). This gives it a lot of versatility—though it should be noted that you can’t easily switch back and forth because the rubber pads are adhesive. But you could always make the mounting screws stick out a bit from the wall so the switch could be mounted even with the rubber pads installed as long as you didn’t mind that the switch wasn’t flush mounted.

some weird rating question, in the rate features area, however for this product i would point out some good about it, first, it is very value for money, it was on the great discont, i brought it almost half of its original price. secondly, this is unmanage switch, which does not has any UI, so far as what i know. i could plug and use in a second. it barely needs any setup.
and this is how you plug it in
internet ----router ---- switch.(doesn't matter which port)
overall i give it four start, because its quality and design, but with no other special features, so i took one start out of it.
a brief explaintation for the rating area.
i give it one start for wifi signal, because it does not have any wifi signal( of course i know it is not suppose to have any wifi, i think the selection should not be shown.
and i have never use tech support, so i did not rate it
and i give it one start for user interface, because it does not have any user interface, (which it does not suppose to have any UI)

Excellent Switch
Works exactly as it should, 1 in from router and 7 out. Gigabit speed is no problem and the amber vs green lights make it simple enough to tell if you're getting the expected speed of your device. I like the metal body as it is very sturdy and supports my router on top no problem. Only con that I have found to be very common in the network switch space is the power connects on the opposite side of all the RJ45 ports. It drives me nuts to have wires coming out opposite sides when I need them to all go in the same direction. Easy enough to run the wire under the unit and out the back but the connector still juts out about an inch.

Failed in less than 3 months. Poor customer service.
Bought on March 16th. Failed today. Been on hold with TPLink for 30 minutes. Still on hold.
The device simply stopped functioning. Now I need to pay to return to TP link and wait for the replacement.
Update: Amazon made good on the refund and shipping NOT TP_Link. TP-Link finally answered me on Facebook to explain how the problem was with me.
NEWER UPDATE:
Amazon sent me a new unit which failed on 14 August less than 60 days after receiving it. I have been corresponding with TP-Link for almost a month with no movement other than sending more tests. I am an engineer and have done extensive testing on the unit. They asked me to get "Another 48V power supply" and try it out to insure the power supply is not the problem even after measuring correct voltage out of the power supply.
Since this is a critical piece of a network I assume they want the customer to get frustrated and simply buy something else.

Straight Forward and Works Great....
Not much to write about for this switch, other than it works exactly how you want it to. I purchased one of these to start so I could add on to my Deco wifi network that I just upgraded to, and it worked right out of the box. I have since ordered 4 more of these, and a 16 port switch as I want the 16 port switch to be the main switch off the wifi router, and then these 8 port switches will be routed throughout the house. Wifi is great, but I want to ensure my signal is not overwhelmed with too many competing items on the network trying to use wifi. I have several tv's, cameras, and IOT's on my network, so Im hoping to keep everything running smooth by releasing the load a bit and hard wiring what I can. Totally worth it.

Bought this product twice; both eventually required constant resets to work.
I bought this product twice; I already had the 5-port product from the company that worked like a dream, but eventually needed one with more ports--buying it from this company seemed to be the obvious choice. The first one worked perfectly for two months, when the my ethernet status on the computer said connected, but no network signal. After trouble-shooting unsuccessfully for an hour I just called it a night; it was working again the next morning. A week later I had the same problem, but a friend suggested it may be the hub that's acting up, rather than my computer. (The WiFi was working, so the router was established to not be the problem.) So I swapped out this 8-port hub back to the 5; lo and behold, it worked. I switched it back--didn't work again. I chalked it up as a faulty product and asked for a replacement.
Replacement got here, and the day after I had set it up (today, 12/16/20), same issue popped up again. This time unplugging the power from the hub and plugging it back in seems to make it work (I can't remember if that's something I thought of trying the first time; I'm fairly certain I did but not 100%). I've had to do this reset four times today. It works great when it actually is, but I can't see myself sticking with this product if I'm going to have to plug and unplug it every few hours. I'm considering daisy-chaining a second 5-port to my first one over trying to put up with this. Will give it a few days and hope it gets better, but if not I don't think I can give this product a third chance.

Do not use inside another network
I installed this switch in a closet to allow a few devices to share a singular ethernet connection back to my main network. Massive mistake. This switch by default takes IP address 192.168.0.1 and then acts as a DHCP server if one is not present. I configured the router to instead get an IP address from the main DHCP server on my network - a router with IP address 192.168.0.1. When the power briefly went out to my house the switch reverted back to factory settings. This meant that I now had two routers on my network advertising the gateway address of 192.168.0.1. The symptoms of this was the internet just randomly not working for short bits of time because the TP-Link switch was poising the routing of traffic to the outside. Once I figured out what was causing the issue I once again changed the switch to get its IP from DHCP but it seems that if this switch ever loses power it reverts back. Given that in order to reliably get to the switch's configuration interface I have disconnect it from the network, connect it directly to a computer, hard code the computer's IP, then update the router config, connect everything back, etc.... It's just not worth the headache.

Una excelente opción de compra si lo que se busca es personalizar la red inalámbrica en el hogar, ya que permite tres modos de configuración: Access Point, Router y Repetidor, personalmente recomiendo usarlo en modo router ya que administra de buena manera la red local que actualmente tengo configurada en mi hogar

Excelente calidad recomendado
Puede ser usado como router o como extensor de señal via wifi.
Pro:
1.-Puedes configurarlo como extensor de señal desde una PC para las casas que no tengan el mismo sistema electrico en ciertas zonas y no puedan usar los extensores convencionales.
2.- La señal es muy buena.
3.- Puedes conectar varios devices via ethernet
4.- Tiene su propia contraseña.
5.- Se puede sincronizar con el modem via WPS
6.- Se puede usar como extensor de señal o router por medio de Wifi.
Contras:
1.- Es un poco confuso configurar como extensor de señal, pero vale la pena dedicarle su tiempo, ya que hace un excelente trabajo.
Tip:
Recomiendo conectarte directamente a la pagina para configurarlo directo desde el portal web. Es mas rapido y sencillo que usando la App.

Publicidad engañosa.
Yo compre este producto esperando poder recibir los 450 MBPS que ofrecen en la publicación pero nunca pude obtener mas de 300 MBPS, llame al soporte técnico y de TP LINK en 2 ocasiones y ellos me comentaron que el problema era la tarjeta de red de mi computadora, me puse en contacto con INTEL y confirme que la velocidad máxima que podía recibir era de 867 Mbps, cuando volví a llamar a TP LINK con esta documentación y evidencia, argumentaron que mi tarjeta solo recibía esa velocidad en la red de 5.0 GHz, y que intel me estaba ocultado esa información.
Mi opinion es la siguiente: es probable que en las especificaciones de mi tarjeta de red no indique que solo en la banda de 5.0 GHz recibirá 800 MBPS pero revisando la especificaciones de este producto, tampoco menciona que la velocidad puede variar en base a las características de los dispositivos que se conecten a el.
YO, preferí mejor comprar un router de doble banda, 200 pesos mas caro pero aprovechare mejor el internet, termine devolviendo este por que los 300 que me daba era lo mismo que daba el modem que me da Total Play, revisen bien la especificaciones de su tarjeta de red antes de comprar.
Si lo que buscan es tener mas señal o ampliar la que tienen es un buen producto, si lo que buscan es mas señal con mejor velocidad en su red interna no lo es.

Buen equipo, aunque solo a 2.4Ghgz
Originalmente compré este equipo buscando reemplazar un Apple Airport Express que dejò de funcionar, para mi sorpresa este equipo tiene mejores servicios que mi Apple Airport Extreme, el cual simplemente cede ante este equipo. Me parece que es debido a Mac y no a TP Link el problema. En fin, lo uso para crear una nueva red a 2.4Ghz exclusiva para dispositivos como las cámaras de seguridad, consolas y Smart TV

Sin cable Ethernet . Buena señal. Llega lejos genial!
Compre el N450 . Me costo configurar pero ya que pude. Me encanto. Tenia el.moden en el primer piso y mi habitacion está en el Segundo piso . La señal no llegaba ni de broma.
Y aun que lo puedes usar con cable Ethernet . Lo configure con modo wps (sin cable) configurado como Tipo extensor de señal. (repetidor kreo k se llama) y mi señal es genial.
Estoy encantada. Solo estaconectado a la Luz y es un aparato lijero. Y chiko.
Estoy muy satisfecha. Disculpen la calidad de la foto pero kize hacer lo posible por mostrarselo.
Recomiendo al producto de tplink Haga un video de como configurar. Su producto. Ya que es complikado (para las principiantes;( ) y su instructivo es muy vago.

Se pueden configurar muchos parámetros e incluso controlarlo desde su app, aclaración para clientes de Telmex si no tienen modem este no les funcionara por sí solo, es requerido un modem de la compañía.

Solución a tus problemas.
En estos tiempos modernos es impensable vivir sin conectividad a internet, nuestros dispositivos móviles, gadgets e incluso artículos del hogar están enlazados por ésta vía.
Mi problema era que no podía conectar mi Smart TV con una señal estable y que cuando estaba la familia completa, se alentaba el internet y se desconectaban por momentos los dispositivos. Cambié el internet por uno de 50MB y aunque ayudó, no fue suficiente.
Lo que me explicaron es que aunque es buena velocidad de internet para un departamento pequeño, el Wifi tiene problemas porque tanto arriba, abajo y a los lados estoy rodeado de otras redes de internet. Crean interferencia y causan desconecciones o demoras en la velocidad. Me recomendaron comprar un router, pero investigué los equipos que ofrecen los proveedores de internet y eran de mala calidad y a costos desproporcionados a su eficiencia.
Me animé a comprar éste módem/router. En lo único que demoré fue en poder instalarlo. Mi consejo sería: por más absurdo que parezca, sigan al pie y orden correspondiente las instrucciones, de lo contrario perderán mucho tiempo.
Mi TV se enlazó mucho más rápido, se estabilizó muchísimo la señal en las habitaciones, casi nulas las desconecciones (las que han ocurrido son por el proveedor, iZZi), navego más rápido.
Opten por ésta opción, inviertan en éste producto que tiene triple función. Olvídense de fallas y solo naveguen.

Un buen upgrade al router de las compañias
Compré este router como recomendación para mejorar la señal wifi en la casa. Es una maravilla, el internet llega mucho más lejos, es más fácil de gestionar por medio de una app y es mucho más constante. Lo recomiendo muchísimo para mejorar la condición del internet y reemplazar los modems baratos que las compañias de internet suelen suministrar.

El primer router WiFi que compro
Iré al grano, el equipo llegó bien y a tiempo. La instalación no es complicada, solo conectas el enchufe del router a la clavija de tu casa. La configuración básica es relativamente sencilla, solo necesitas los datos de tu modem (proveedor de internet) conectarte al server de TPLink y ahí configuras el router, ya sea por wifi o por ethernet. Sí quieres algo más especifico entonces si tienes que tener conocimientos en redes, porque en el manual no viene tan explicado. Ahora el desempeño del equipo no es tan eficiente como esperaba, lo coloqué en una planta baja porque el modem esta en un primer piso. con cable funciona todo bien, pero con red inalámbrica ya cambia el asunto, si bien si tengo mayor rango de extensión es una realidad que la transferencia de datos es baja, acomodando bien las antenas del router no me daba más de la mitad de la velocidad nominal que tengo de internet y a veces es intermitente, se nota mucho cuando quieres hacer grandes transferencias de datos como ver videos en Full HD y 4K en streaming/YT o jugar en línea. En conclusión, es efectivo hasta medianas distancias, sirve bien para ver videos en baja resolución, meeting con pocas personas o simplemente navegar en internet. Pero si lo requieres para jugar en línea, ver películas o videos en alta resolución o tu internet es de más de 50mb/s y quieres aprovecharlo al máximo no lo veo conveniente, aunque sinceramente uno bueno saldría demasiado costoso así que si puedes mejor usarlo con ethernet para hacer uso optimo de tu internet o quizás invertir en un modem mejor, creo que serían buenas opciones,

Facil de configurar y ojo: No tiene entrada para cable de teléfono rj11.
Para infinitum tienen que conectar desde el módem al router por cable UTP.
Tiene varias funciones y el asistente te va guiando para cualquier opción a elegir.
Vale la pena comprarlo.

Hasta el momento, 0 fallas
Todo bien hasta el momento, ya llevo mas de 1 mes usandolo. Tiene varios modos de uso, yo lo utilize para conectar directamente al modem principal para crear una red separada para el 2do piso. Buen rango dentro de 15-20 metros..si ocupas más cobertura te sugiero otro modelo.
La instalación fue muy rapida y sencilla con su wizard.
