I've been looking at upgrading my 10/100 switch for some time and the TL-SG100 offers a good value. My router, a D-Link DIR-655 N+300 Extreme-N Gigabit Wireless Router, possesses four Gigabit LAN ports (10/100/1000) already. However, with several printers, computers, game systems, and a server, I need more than those four ports. This is where the 10/100 switch came in.Unfortunately, that meant my file server was stuck using 10/100; anything I transferred to and from was maxed out at 100 Mbps (100 megabits per second is equal to 12.5 megabytes per second). It streamed files well enough, such as playing .mp3s and video files, but it was slow to move the data between different systems.The TL-SG100 provides a max speed of 1000 Mbps (125 megabytes per second) for internal LAN transfers, so it moves my files at a quicker rate than my old switch did. Loading network games between computers is faster too. Keep in mind that this won't make a difference in speed when downloading and uploading information over the WAN (basically, from the internet). It only gives you an advantage over LAN (meaning, computers/devices only inside your home network).Also keep in mind that, in order to experience the 1000 Mbps of speed, your computer/device must have a network card that supports it. If you have a 10/100 card, your computer will transfer files at the max 100 Mbps regardless of whether or not your switch can do 1000.Something else to consider is that you automatically lose one port to the router, which gives you seven total (TL-SG1008D) or four total (TL-SG1005D) for your devices. So a 8-Port switch really only gives you seven active ports, and a 5-port switch four.One last thing to note is with the "Unmanaged" portion of the TL-SG100. In case you don't know what that means, just understand that the switch operates without the ability to customize or optimize settings (such as the ability to set port bandwidth and create/modify Virtual LANs). In other words, it's plug and play. The switch works as-is out of the box. This is to be expected at this price range, but the good thing is that managed switches are not necessary for most home networks.Overall, I find that the TL-SG100 provides good value and performance for it's price range.

Not that long ago, gigabit Ethernet cost about $100 per port...this TP-Link product brings the cost down to barely $2 per port.I found the construction quality to be better than I thought it would be at this price point - but a long way from the heavy metal units you might find in a data center rack. The unit is light and in a thin plastic case with the usual wall-wort power supply. There's a "power" LED and one LED per port that lights up when a cable is inserted and the link is active. As other reviewers mention, it has no fan and it runs both cool to the touch and completely silently. These are both great features to me.It also offers auto-sensing for media speed (10/100/1000) and direction, so you can plug just about anything into it. Want to plug into your broadband router? Simple - just run an Ethernet cable to any open port on the TP-Link...no special "Uplink" port or anything like that. Need more ports? Just plug a second switch into any available port, and you go from 8 to 14 (not 16, since you lose a port on each device for the uplink cable). There's nothing to configure - the device just "works" out of the box.As for performance, I have similar (but more expensive) Netgear and Linksys switches, and the TP-Link seems to perform at least as well as either, even with many devices active concurrently. So far, the unit's been running 24x7 for several weeks with exactly zero outages.This is a home unit, so there are very limited management capabilities inside...no SNMP, etc. There's no way to do sophisticated VLAN setup or priority assignments - again, probably not an issue at home, although some people are starting to wonder how to prioritize VoIP phone traffic over computer traffic. About the only other thing I find lacking is PoE (Power over Ethernet), so if you're connecting (say) a camera or phone that requires PoE, you'll need separate power injectors. Still, at this price, can't really find fault with anything on this TP-Link switch.Definitely recommended if you need a simple but solid 8-port Gigabit Ethernet switch at an incredibly low price.

If you have VOIP and also a wireless router, you know that configuring that VOIP behind the router can sometimes be a pain. That is where this little device can really shine. If you connect your Internet connection (Cable Modem or whatever you use for your Internet) to this device, it allows you to now have up to four more devices connected directly to your Internet connection. Thus, your VOIP (Voice Over Internet Protocol - your phone service)can connect directly to the Internet which makes it easier on your phone service to directly access the device as well as now having your wireless router or regular router connected to the Internet.Of course, there are a lot more uses for this device, but the above was the reason I wanted to obtain this device. Here is what I liked about the device:1. Easy to setup!! You cannot get the connections wrong when connecting your Internet service and your devices to this. On many switches you have to correctly connect the Internet to the right port or it will not function. This device automatically determines what you have connected and sets up the unit to accommodate that. Thus, you cannot connect it wrong!2. Small design with status lights to let you know if you have a good connection or not and the size allows you to place it just about anywhere. It even has mounting screw locations on the underside to allow you to mount it to a wall if you wish or you can just place it on a flat surface.3. Fast switching speed-this unit really does support gigabit data rates. I ran several tests with large file transfers between three computers connected to this device and it all worked as it should. Keep in mind that while this device supports fast connection rates, it cannot increase the speed of your Internet connection!What I did not like about the device:1. Nothing, this switch does exactly what it says it does.Overall, this is a really nice switch and if you have a need for one that allows you to connect 4 devices to the Internet (one port for the Internet and 4 ports for devices) or where you need to connect 5 devices, I would really recommend considering this one for your needs.

This is a simple 5 port switch. It supports up to gigabit speeds and is very easy to use. This can be used in a variety of scenarios:1. Need more connections on to connect devices to your router.2. Have a non-gigabit router. (Plug all your devices into this and then one cable from this to your router).3. Have a location with one ethernet connection and multiple ethernet devices, this can connect them all to that.I have been testing it out for a couple of weeks now and am very satisfied with the speeds and ease of use.BUT....Here are a few caveats to this device.1. It is only a 5 port switch, which means that when you connect it to your network, you only have 4 ports to plug devices into. At the time of writing this, the 5 port is about $18 and the 8 port is $26. In many cases i would recomend the 8... it is amazing how after you start plugging things in you will wish that you had just one more port. Might as well plan for that.2. This can not replace a higher end switch. If you just need basic features this will serve you fine. If your network is more complex or you are doing more bandwidth intensive tasks, you should look at a higher end switch. There is a reason why this under $20. I don't want to imply that it is a bad device, it is just a simple switch. If you don't understand what a more advanced switch is able to do.... this probably won't matter to you.3. Wall wart. This device has one of those big plugs, may be an issue for you may not. Better models use a standard power cable.4. really think about long term needs before buying a switch. In some cases you are far better off to buy an 8 or even a 16 port switch. This would be a much smarter move then having several switches daisy chained.All in all, this is a nice switch for limited use. And the price is very easy on the pocket book.

The TP Link unit is a marvel for the price, providing 8 fully functional gigabit ports. It is just the right thing for a large home network, maybe one with its own server, when speed is important but price is a consideration. Smaller home networks won't benefit as much, as today many cable and DSL routers have a built-in four-port switch and wireless capability.This is fairly basic but don't get it wrong: to access the internet you need a router (more specifically, router functionality). A switch alone won't do that. But the switch can be used to give you more ports for more connections, or to connect an internal server to your network. If you have, say, a media server and wired connections all around the house, this unit would be great.Now, about this switch: I used to use a 10/100 switch that was large, heavy, ran hot (using substantial power), and needed to be reset every so often. This newer TP Link runs cool (saving power) and seems to never need to be reset. It also has gigabit capability which the older switch didn't. And it costs a fraction of the price. I couldn't ask for more.Of course, it *is* a home unit. It's too insubstantial in construction to be put in a data center; it's lightweight plastic, uses the typical wall-wart power supply, doesn't rack mount, etc. etc. But at home none of this matters, except perhaps that the cable ports are very close together and the unit is so light that with a full load of cables going in all directions, you'll need to weight it down to get it to lie flat in the place you want (just don't cover the cooling vents).So if you need a reliable, efficient, and fast switch, all on a very small budget, look no further. Five stars for sure.

When it comes to switches, they either work or they don't. Putting it simply, this one works and does its job well.This TP-Link TL-SG1005D 5-Port Unmanaged Gigabit Desktop Switch was a replacement for an old 5-Port 10/100 desktop switch, a product that had been in service for years. When the power supply on the old one gave out, it was time to look for a new model that offered gigabit (1,000 Mbps) speed while using my existing Cat 5/5e Ethernet cables.Likes:+ Plug and play; no configuration needed with Windows PCs or Mac+ No fan design; runs cool and quiet+ "Green" technology; saves power 50 to 70%+ Excellent value; priced right+ Clean, efficient design+ 2-year limited warrantyDislikes:- LEDs don't change color based on link speed.This TP-Link TL-SG1005D switch came in a true no-hassle package. Inside was the switch itself, the power supply, and a simple instruction sheet. Setup was simple, and as it was being used as a replacement with an existing network, everything was up and running in minutes.There are status LEDs on front to correspond with each Ethernet port, and they're bright enough to be functional, yet so bright as to be irritating or distracting. On the downside, would have preferred to see the LEDs change color; green for 100MB, orange for 1Gb, etc. Not a deal-breaker, but useful for speed verification tests.The TP-Link TL-SG1005D 5-Port Unmanaged Gigabit Desktop Switch is very fast and works very well for streaming and other uses. It's small and efficient, and an excellent solution for expanding network access in small areas with multiple computers. Eliminates the bottleneck of a router for fast LAN inter-connectivity and backups. And above all, the price is right.3/20/2013

The back of my DLS router was full as I have three computers and a printer wired with ethernet cables. I was able to use this unit to add three more ports to my system. (I had four 10/100's, one of those four is used to connect the router to one of the five on this device, leaving four open on this device plus three on the original, for a total of 7, 3 10/100's and 4 gigabit). While I was at it, I used a CAT 5e and CAT 6 cable to connect two of the computers.This works very well and the transfer speed between computers is noticably faster (I would not say 10 times faster, but certainly three to five times would be a good estimate). I also use this (via a dangling cable I can plug into any computer) for backing up my portable computers to a drive on the desktop as the wireless speeds are too slow for very large files. I also connect to my desktop DVD when I need to load software on my diskless laptops.As others say, you don't know if you are getting gigabit speeds, but I've hidden mine away in a closet and am happy to base my impression on the speeds I am observing. I use the gigabit ports between computers as the wired printer does not benefit from the increased speed and so is on one of the old ports. Also, don't expect your internet to speed up with this as the old ports are likely much faster than your internet anyway.Lastly, I was concerned there was not "uplink" port that one typically sees on a switch and to which one plugs in the router. That isn't a problem as I just plugged the wireless modem into port 1 (chosen arbitrarily) and everything works as expected (wireless is the same, gigabit communication between computers is faster, and communication between old and new ports works fine too.)A great value!

Home networks work best when computers are wired up the old fashioned way - with wires!This switch from TP-Link is not a router, but rather a relatively "dumb" device that relays data between devices with Ethernet connections.While wireless technology is continuing to increase the available bandwidth between devices, the fact is Internet connections are beginning to surpass what wireless can deliver under normal circumstances. That means for activities like downloading media such as HD movies and games, you might not be getting your money's worth out of just relying on a wireless router to serve the computers and game consoles in your home. A switch can help extend your network by providing more ports. Additionally, depending on the Ethernet speed of your home router, the gigabit speed offered here can increase the speed between computers in the house ten fold.Gigabit speeds are ideal for transferring large files between computers but also a great way to ensure the best possible connection for game consoles and gaming PC's. The reason is that in addition to a greater amount of available bandwidth, a hardwired connection also brings about lower latency and a more reliable connection that won't lose packets or signal due to interference.The switch works as expected. In my testing my devices communicated flawlessly at high speeds and no dropped packets. It supports a mixture of high speed gigabit devices as well as slower 100 and 10 megabit connections.This is a no brainer, especially at this price. I highly recommend it if you're looking at an affordable way to expand your home network.

This switch is a very inexpensive way to get an extremely fast home network up and running. The main benefit is gigabit Ethernet speeds for an Andrew Jackson (for the five-port switch which is what I'm reviewing--nice that they have a full line to choose from though). Like any brand-name switch, this one covers the basics that you should expect from any switch such as autonegotiation of the best available rate and duplexing. The device can switch 1000 devices before its buffer fills (which is not a critical event). This is more than enough for home and small office use.Ever wonder why the switches with more ports cost way more? It's all about the backplane, the electronics that connect the ports to each other. Passing data between five ports is a lot easier than passing data between 48 ports. Since any port can theoretically need to talk to any other port, and since all should be able to talk at full speed, the switch with more ports needs to be able to handle a lot more data, which is what drives the cost. If you go cheap with a gigabit switch with lots of ports, you run the risk of saturating the backplane and losing network throughput. Why buy a switch with all those ports if you're not going to be able use them all?If you're wondering what "unmanaged" means, my advice is to not worry about it because if you don't know what a managed switch is then you don't need that feature. Basically, managed switches are able to be configured and monitored remotely, so that if it fails the network administrator will know. If all you want to do is connect some devices together and have it just work, this is the switch for you.

There's only so much you can say about an unmanaged switch from the ease-of-use perspective. Connect it to power (with a short-ish wall wart cable), plug in your devices, and get to work. In that sense, this switch works perfectly. Under the hood, it's a little more interesting because of its ability to handle jumbo frames. Network packets might be described as consisting of some header data followed by some user data. The more user data in the packet, the higher the ratio of usable data to network overhead. This means overall faster performance.It's important to point out that a switch with the ability to handle jumbo packets is a necessary enabler, but does not speed up those transfers all by itself. Any device you wish to speed up must also have the ability to support jumbo packets. Otherwise, they fall back to the packet size of the weakest link. It's surprising how few devices have this ability. My Western Digital media servers don't, for example. These are devices that would benefit, since they do little but stream large chunks of data. My Mac Pro and Mac Mini DO support jumbo packets, so it's nice to have the potential communications speedup. But the switch is the key: no jumbo packets on the switch, no jumbo packets anywhere.I'd also like to commend the manufacturer for showing some sensitivity in packaging. Rather than swathing the product in plastic blisters, this comes in a simpler box with a formed paper brace inside. This is a bit more eco friendly (and a LOT more finger-friendly).

A switch to those who are unfamiliar to networks is a passive switch that enables signals to pass through unchanged the way a router does. Routers think. Switches simply transmit. It is like a power outlet with 6 connectors for AC. It just takes the same signal that is coming in and spreads it amongst the outlets. A router will sense when a device is booted up, and in a DHCP environment it will assign an IP address to the device. Switches don't do anything like that.So what are the uses? For me in particular, I am remodeling the main bedroom, and in there I am putting a high def TV which has an internet/ethernet connection. I also have a Blu-ray player that has the Net Flix option so connecting to the internet is essential. On top of that I am running Windows Media Center with a Cisco Linksys Media Center Extender which has an ethernet input which enables it to draw video, TV, and audio from the main media center pc. So that is three items that have need of an internet connection. So rather than run 3 separate ethernet cables into the room, you just run one, and then hook that one up to this TP-Link switch, and then you hook all three devices up to the switch. In the living room I have the same setup but with a networked receiver as well. So these come in handy, and for the price it is actually cheaper than buying several cables.There isn't really anything negative to say about this switch. I love the energy efficiency so it is not running full tilt all of the time; I have enough energy drainers running all of the time around the house as it is. Highly recommended.

This Switch worked right out of the box with no problems and I recommend it to anyone looking for an (almost ridiculously) inexpensive gigabit switch. My recommendation is based on:1 - Speed: I ran several speed tests by moving large files between two computers and it seemed to easily handle speeds in the gigabit range. In fact I had to resort to forcing the computers to move files from memory to memory as my hard drives could not deliver data to the network card fast enough to sufficiently test the network throughput. If you install this in a desktop environment like I did, you can be 100% sure that your performance bottleneck will not be your network.2 - Simplicity - there is no config required. Gigabit switches used to be for infrastructure only and required config. This product delivers the speed benefits directly to your desktop.3 - No overheating - I have found over the years that inexpensive desktop network devices sometimes come with heat problems. I have had some models from a range of manufacturers suffer from heat problems so great that you can fry an egg on them. This device stays cool, even with all of the testing I did.4 - Price - This is currently priced cheaper than what I used to pay for 10/100 hubs. There is no reason to buy a slower hub when you can get gigabit speed at this price.One obvious benefit I found after installing this switch was improved speed when backing up my hard drive to a network drive I have at home. I also noticed a reduction in audio related problems when making Skype calls.

Put in two of these switches in my home network to replace two older Linksys 10/100 switches. I planned to buy Linksys switches in the Gigabit rating, but they are a weird shape now, and have no lights on the front! Found these switches priced much less than the Cisco/Linksys line, and they are nice and flat so they can be stacked. They also have power and data lights on the front where they can be seen. Two "T" holes in bottom allowed me to wall mount them using two small round head screws (you provide the screws). Moved large 2 gig movie files from a desktop to the server (Windows Home Server 2011). It takes just moments, and the speed was a steady 800 Mbps!!! This is on a network with about 150 feet of plain old Cat-5 cable and these switches inbetween the desk top PC and the server. Also like the fact that the switch save power by shutting off unused ports, and varies voltage on the line based on cable length. I have the Linksys EA2700 10/100/1000 router and it works just fine with the TP-Link switches. The switches also support 15K Jumbo Frame which is nice for large file transfers. And they are cool to the touch. I'm very happy with the TD-Link switches.Update: When traffic is light on the network, I am getting full 1Gbps transfer speeds between desktop and server. The desktop has two of these TP-Link switches, the router, and about 150 feet of cat-5 cable between it and the server it talks to. Not bad in my book. When the kids start streaming video off the internet, the non-internet data slows down, although this is probably more a function of the router slowing down under load than the switch because the streaming video is done wireless.

This switch is surprisingly light. It feels like it may not come out of a drop test as well as heavier products. But that's just a guess. It's something I thought the buyer might want to know and it has nothing to do with the performance.This switch is "fully automatic" and not managed. In lay terms, "managed" means that you can program or configure the ports. I call it fully automatic because you just give it power and plug in your network cables. The switch will detect what type of device is on the other end and it will automatically negotiate a port speed and "wire type". Let me clarify. If you connect a port on this switch to another device, that port will self-adjust to the speed of the other device. It will also check to see if you used a normally wired cable or a crossover cable and adjust accordingly. Each port on this switch will adjust to whatever you connect on the other end and to the cable itself (normal or crossover). To be fair, this isn't unusual for switches in this category, but it's nice to know this one does it. One less thing to worry about.The "green" part of the switch almost certainly refers to the fact that ports which are not connected anything are in an "off" state. It may also (I'm not equipped to test against other switches) use less power per active port. It's good to go as green as possible.One last thing that might be relevant. I've used other TP-Link products and have never had any problems.

I always knew it was coming, but part of me still can't believe that gigabit switches are now available for home users for the price of a few sandwiches.First: what is this for - basically, if you have a home network and find copying large files from one computer to another is slow, this switch may be for you. however, you *must have a gigabyte ethernet card to take advantage of gigabyte speeds*.This is a great product from TP-Link. I've bought and used many of their products in the past and they never disappoint. I ran this switch at a LAN party with game servers and a firewall plugged into it. We ran over a Terabyte of traffic through it over the course of 2 days and didn't have a single issue. We stressed it with large file transfers with no issues. For a gigabit switch at this price-point, you can't go wrong with this product!One really important part to me was that the LEDs in the front are not extremely bright like the other Netgear switch. Most people probably want something brighter as opposed to dimmer, but when you have the switch run overnight in a dark room, a little LED can be almost like a strobe light.This consumer-grade item is made of plastic (not really a con, more of a personal preference for me...it still feels just as strong as a metal switch), ports in back (again, not really a con, just a personal preference for me).At the price - highly recommended! I also think it'd be just fine for small office use.

In the case of the TP-Link switch, I was simply looking for an inexpensive switch to extend my home network somewhat, not necessarily looking for speed- I will be unlikely to upgrade the other components to take advantage of or even evaluate this device. The user's guide says it can speed up your system, but if one is limited to a 100M feed, I am not sure how this would work.I can say that at lower speeds it performs adequately. I would like to say I could notice a slight improvement, but that's probably wishful thinking.I have never heard of or used any products from this manufacturer, as it turns out they have been around for quite awhile, and are the leading manufacturer of networking components in China, now with distribution to over 100 countries worldwide. I'd have to go see if I can find them on the shelf somewhere in town, and try to get impressions from the sales staff.The unit is featherweight, which can either be a bad or a good thing.With the proliferation of home networks, I can see a device like this being sold at Home depot- they already have a fairly decent supply of data supplies. But then so do some grocery stores.So if you aren't totally wi-fi'ed by now, this can be a handy, inexpensive device. I have only one cable running to my living room and have sometimes had a need to connect two or three computers at a higher speed (don't ask) - tucked under a table this switch is the perfect solution.

I use this switch in my bedroom to connect my Roku 2 XS, PS3, and Sony Google TV to my MOCA adapter. It has been working without a problem for a while now.The switch supports and does pretty much everything you would expect of a modern unmanaged switch. The switch supposedly supports Jumbo frames too if you require that but connecting through the MOCA adapter to the devices that I had I didn't really get to try that out.I like that it is small and light with a matte black finish giving the unit a nice look. I like that the LED indicators are not blindingly bright, they light up enough to see what you need to see at a glance but don't illuminate my bedroom at night. However, the LED indicators don't appear to show connection speed by changing colors like most switches do, the 100 Mbps and 1000 Mbps devices that I have connected all light up green. That is weird and a first for me but I suppose for the price I could live with it because I normally look at the connected device and not the switch to determine its status but it could be a issue for some.The case has plenty of ventilation to help keep the unit cool. Using an Actron CP7876 non-contact infrared thermometer to scan the top of the unit the max temp I came up with was 77 F in a 68 F room.Overall a switch that I would recommend if you are going for cheap and can live without the LED port speed indication.

This review is for the TP-Link TLSG1005D 5-Port Unmanaged Gigabit Desktop Switch. This is a really good switch. It stays cool with only 1 or 2 ports (plus input port) used, and still only gets warm when running all ports at the same time. I use all four ports connected to four difference devices, at different times. Only two of the ports are used simultaneously at any given time. While you could run all the ports at the same time, I recommend investing in a workhorse switch for that. This will work for almost all of your setups. It's a fast switch that will definitely transfer at 1000 Mbps (aka 1 Gbps) between the devices on your network if your devices have Gigabit Network Cards. I had no issues with this switch since it's a simple plug-and-play device. It's great for adding extra ports to a room where multiple devices need a wired network connection.DETAILS: There are six LED's on the front, one for power and five for the ports. They are subtle, easy to read, and not overly bright. The switch measures 1.2" H x 6.5" W x 4.25" D. The power cable is about 5 feet long. The plug of the power cable is a slim plug that plugs into an outlet horizontally, similar to a cell phone charger plug, and it measures 0.75" H x 2" W x 1.5" D. No Ethernet cables are included.

Look - I remember the days of 300 baud modems, so Ethernet seems like a miracle. I replaced a fairly new Linksys 10/100 switch with this TP-Link gigabit model. I have a E3200 Cisco gigabit router, and figured why not keep the whole shebang at top speed? But unless your PCs have gigabit Ethernet ports, you probably won't notice a big improvement in a gigabit switch over a 10/100 switch. Unless everyone in your home or office decided to move huge files all at once.It did seem faster when copying large video files from my non-gigabit PC to my network attached storage. But the improvement was maybe 20% - not the 10x improvement you might think you would get.Still, the price of this TP-Link gigabit switch is so reasonable that there is no excuse to use a 10/100 switch. And 8 ports is what I would always get. Three times I have had to replace a 5-port switch with an 8-port. TV, Blu-ray, PC, the other PC, and a Roku are the devices in my living room that connect to my network. Then I wanted to troubleshoot my netbook ...Sorry - I do have wireless for my cell phones, kindles, tablet and laptop - but I believe in wired connections for devices that just sit there. Ever try to configure a printer with built-in wireless ???

Gigabit Ethernet switches are pretty much a commodity - not much to distinguish them. TP-Link found a way, though. They claim to have designed the TL-SG1005D to use less power than other switches. My tests confirm this - a steady-state power draw of only 1 watt, compared to 4 watts for a Netgear Gigabit switch I use. For something that is typically powered 24/7, using 75% less power is nothing to sneeze at.Other than the low power draw, the TL-SG1005D is rather plain - I don't have the means to test the various features it claims to have, but I certainly didn't observe any problems or speed issues while in use. The dark gray rectangular box is fairly plain and the status LEDs on front are just bright enough to be useful, not so bright as to be annoying. A small wall-wart switching power supply is included with a longish cord. If I had any gripe at all it is that the RJ45 jacks are a bit too close together, making it difficult to connect and remove plugs that have anti-snag sleeves.Update: March 25, 2013I now also have the 8-port TL-SG1008D and it has all the good qualities of the 5-port model. Same low power - both switches cut power to jacks that aren't in use or are connected to devices not powered on. I measured its power draw at 1 watt, same as the 5-port model. with three ports in use.

I got this switch because I handle all IT responsibilities for our online retail business. I could tell from previous experience and reviews on the product that this appeared to be a quality switch at an affordable price. I've used a number of different switches in the configuration of the building's network and haven't been overly thrilled with any of them yet, so I was glad Vine gave me this to give it a shot.I've had it hooked up for just a little while now, and so far, I'm thrilled with it. We've got a fairly complicated setup for our warehouse network, and this switch integrated seamlessly. I haven't noticed any signal degradation or speed reduction, I'm still able to access local databases and Camera feeds through the switch from off-site locations, and it's as simple as it gets when adding other computers to the network through the switch in our warehouse. The unit runs quietly, stays cool, feels solid, and appears to be an absolute winner.When our next need for a switch arises, I will be purchasing another one of these. And because of the price, if one decides to quit working one day, I'll just purchase another, and still be much better off than if I'd spent a ton of money up front!

I've used many of these little switches throughout the years from different vendors, and generally there's no practical difference between them. Linksys and Netgear used to make some quality ones out of metal (there are still some), while other vendors like TP-Link and D-Link use plastic. If it's sitting on a shelf and you're not touching it, the material doesn't really matter. The switch is wall mountable but no screws included -- cheap, but typical for this sort of product. Ports are in the back, lights in the front -- normal arrangement.The switch has a standard, smaller size, AC adapter for plugging into the wall outlet. It powers up immediately. As others have mentioned, the link lights do not indicate the speed (10/100/1000Mbps) of your connections -- that could be a deal-breaker for some, but not for me. I know what devices have gigabit connectivity already, and in a home network, generally doesn't matter much. Data transfers work just fine. There's a new trend of lower power consumption in these newer unmanaged switches, though I haven't hooked it up to any meter to measure.In any case, good price, good switch, a no-brainer purchase over some of the more expensive name brands. Don't hesitate.

This is a great standard switch (I hate when I see switches with all kind of features, that are not needed (like QoS on a switch; the router handles that). This switch was easy to setup (plug in one of the ports of the switch into your router). Than you are given 6 additional ports (I say 6, since you will lose a port on the router and you will lose a port on the switch). This switch claims to be eco friendly and use less electricity. I have no way to measure, but I can say that it is quiet (stays cool) and gives my devices full speed to other network resources or the Internet, so it seems to be true. The port is full Gigabit and I have not seen any decrease in my network items (vs connected to router). A switch is a great way to get additional ports on your router, and this is a nice option that is affordable to accomplish this.In the end this is a nice standard switch. It gets the job done and works great (no unneeded or over complicating features). It has an eco friendly type system that keeps the switch from using more power than needed. It is a great standard switch and is perfect for most needs of additional ports.

Writing a review of a network switch is like writing a review of plumbing. If it works, there isn't much to say. And that's the case here. For my purposes, I dropped in the TP-Link TL-SG1008D between a Linksys Network router and several streaming media devices in my home theater system: A Sony PS3, DISH DVR, Panasonic Blu-ray 3D Player, Roku streaming media box, SONOS PlayBar, Pioneer receiver and my Sungevity solar electricity meter. I wanted to provide a hard-wired network connection to these devices (instead of WiFi) for better reliability and freedom from wireless interference. Testing each of the devices after connecting them to the switch proved successful and so far I have not seen any glitches or buffering in the streaming of audio and video over these devices.The switch uses "green technology" which means it shuts down ports which are not in use, and that can save a bit of power usage, saving you money on your electric bill compared to a switch without this feature.So in my experience, considering the low price, lack of any set-up required as well as network transparency, I give this switch 5 stars.
