Switches aren't complicated things: you plug in the power, the ethernet cables, and you're connected. This one does the job, the transfer rate is fast, and there are no problems. I tested with my computer, doing some file transfers and such, and then with several of my video devices (tv, bd player, etc.) -- everything works fine, no glitches, expected throughput.I have several switches, some 5-port and some 8-port. (16-port ones tend to expensive, buying two 8 port switches is usually cheaper, although of course you get 14 usable ports rather than 15). This one is just as good as the others, at a lower price point. Can't complain.(If you don't know how to do home networking, I suggest that you do a bit of reading about routers, switches, and modems before buying networking equipment like this one. It'll save you a lot of trouble & some money.)

It's easy to run out of Ethernet ports at home or at work. Your home router probably only has one or four Ethernet ports. And at work, your IT department has probably only activated one or two Ethernet ports at your desk. For me it's like pulling teeth to get IT to activate another port at my desk. An inexpensive switch like this one is a quick and simple way to add four more ports to my network. (Yes, it's a 5 port switch, but you have to use one of them for the line in, so you really only get 4 accessible ports to use for other connections.)There's nothing to install or configure. Just run a patch cable from a live Ethernet port and connect it to this switch and plug the switch's power into the wall. You quickly get 10Mb/100Mb/1Gb connectivity, depending on your network configuration.It's quick and simple and works great.

We lived in a cramped apartment and everything is so close together I just thought I would run cable to all of my items and that would make my equipment more responsive with faster speeds. I was wrong, the router I was using couldn't handle the traffic and made everything drag. I got this since the reviews were so good and I was surprised how much faster it made things. My WDtv Hub use to drag and stutter but after I got this the files are running with no wait time at all, I have 5 things hooked up and it's not even breaking a sweat. I was going to go back to using a wireless router again but I gave this a try and I'm glad I did it is much cheaper, easy to set up and can handle a lot of traffic without slowing down.

This switch runs much cooler and quieter than the last gigabit switch I had. It's also significantly smaller so takes up less desk space. Another thing I liked was the power cord connector was small and didn't take up 2 outlets like my old switch. Only advantage my older switch had over this one is that the led lights on the front changed color to tell you when you connected at 1000mbps vs 100mbps. This one just has a single green light on each port when it is connected. Also, it didn't come with any cat cables like my old switch but that's probably one way they kept the price down.Anyways, seems to work great for what I use it for which is to bypass the wi-fi when moving large files or streaming high definition. Correctly auto senses and runs at 1Gbps on my Windows 8 and Mac mountain lion machines.

I am a network junkie so when I saw this device I had to try it. Unfortunately, I did not think it through to decide exactly what I would do with it. With all the devices in my home being wireless, I seem to have little need for a wired-only switch. I did notice another reviewer mentioned wiring their home entertainment network and that makes good sense but my home entertainment network is too simple to yield any improvement. A friend mentioned possibly having a home lab network for testing other devices in the future and that seems to be the only thing I might consider trying. Take it from me and think about the applications you might want to try before buying a wired network switch.

Length:: 3:16 MinsThe TP-Link Desktop 5-Port Gigabit Switch is a well performing desktop switch that you simply plug in and start using. No configuration needed like routers. it will automatically detect the speeds of the connected devices from 10MB/100MB/1GB. While the indicator lights do not show what speed is in use, it shows if the port is active or not.The power saving mode turns off ports that are not in use coupled with detection for cable length reduces power consumption up to 75% compared to other switches.With no fan, it is silent in performance and stayed cool in tests. This switch when compared to others twice the price provided the same performance and adjusted for any device I plugged in.Brackets are present on the back for mounting (minus the screws)See the video for the rest.

The TP-Link switch has such a sleek, smooth small profile that it fits neatly in with desktop electronics, and it gets the job done. This is an excellent ethernet switch for anyone interested in minimizing additional EMF "electrosmog" exposure, by providing a non-WiFi option.With five ports and good design, this switch handily provides an elegant, fast, powerful solution to address one's ethernet connectivity needs.Best of all, this switch is easy to use, and dependably reliable. It works the first time out of the box and every time thereafter with care-free operation... without ever over-heating. It's wonderful to have a piece of equipment that works so well you literally never have to give it another thought.Highly recommended!

I have had this installed for just over a month now and it has been working flawlessly. Just plugged it in and it works.My home is a newer home and most rooms are wired with CAT5, however, there is usually only one port per room. My router only has 5 ports and for media sharing I need them to be wired. Therefore with the TP-Link TL-SG1008D 8-Port Unmanaged Gigabit Desktop Switch and the 4 other ports on my router I have enough to cover ever room in my house. albeit only one or two device in each room.My wife's home office has a VoIP phone, networked printer and her laptop and only one wired port, therefore due to the success of this network switch i purchased a I have had this installed for just over a month now and it has been working flawlessly.

I wanted to hard-wire the network for my home theater setup. Most notably, an Xbox 360 (100Mbit), a PS3 (1000Mbit), an AppleTV 3rd gen (100Mbit), and the television itself (LN52B630, unsure about speed). Previous, I had the Xbox plugged in directly to my Airport Extreme over CAT5e, and used the wireless on the PS3/AppleTV. However, I wanted to hard-wire the AppleTV for airplay mirroring to speed things up a bit. And if I was going to split the one gigabit connection into more than one, I figure I might as well wire up everything, and a 5 port gigabit switch was exactly what I needed.Looking around Amazon, this guy had really top notch reviews. Online research showed NewEgg reviewers giving this little guy glowing reviews, with a few nags here and there. There are a few neat hacks people have done to make this switch even more useful, but I won't get into those. I figured for $20, this little guy should do the trick. Plus, Amazon has a great return policy for faulty products, so why not give it a try. I've been burned by high quality names dying out on me for no good reason, so I figured I'd give this little guy a go.So far, fantastic! I wasn't able to do a very good test to max out the line speed, but the speed did not change between no switch and the switch over the same wire. I checked all ports and they all worked at 1000BaseT just fine, and latency was consistent across all ports. Also, I confirmed that mixed modes caused no issues, as noted by my above devices. Of the 5 ports, 2 are gigabit (uplink to the Airport Extreme and the PS3), and the AppleTV/Xbox are 100Mbit - the TV is most likely 10BaseT, but it may be 100BaseT. Everything is working together flawlessly, though since it's for a home theater setup, it's not being taxed heavily.If it dies on me or if things end up not working out, I will be sure to come back and update this review. But I figured I'd toss my two cents for other people running into my situation.

The TL-SG1008D is an unmanaged 8-port Gigabit switch, which like any other unmanaged switch works straight out of the box. Power it on, plug in your Ethernet cables and watch the LEDs as traffic goes through it. The ports are auto-sensing and support auto-MDI/MDIX.This switch adopts Green Ethernet technology, which supports power saving features. It'll automatically power down ports that aren't being used (no link or no connection because the device it's connected to is shut down).Although not pertaining to the functionality of the switch itself, the power supply is angled sideways to limit power strip space usage to just one outlet.

I've been using the TP Link TL-SG1005D switch for a few weeks now, and it's worked flawlessly. I've got my whole house wired with Cat5e, but haven't yet installed a switch big enough for all my connected devices. Since I was a couple of ports short, I grabbed this switch to get me through. It's worked great. Plug in the power, connect one cable from the switch to the router, the other cables from the devices to the switch, and the unit takes care of the rest. No software/firmware to worry about, just plug it in and it works. I haven't had any issues with it so far, and the price seems quite fair. It's a very basic unit, no bells and whistles, but still: highly recommended.

Plugged in, works as expected. Transfer speeds between computers more than doubled (My computer speed is likely the limit, not the network.) Note that if all your machines are only 10/100 then won't see any improvement at all! On the other hand, this switch is not a lot more than 10/100 switches so it's better to be "Future-Proof" since your next computer will likely have Gigabit networking.I was using a Linksys 10/100 switch which is less than half the physical size, so I was expecting something smaller. I suspect they use the same chassis for their 8 channel switch - can't complain since their tooling save may explain the very reasonable price for this gigabit switch.

This is a 5-port unmanaged, gigabit ethernet switch. It does a great job speeding up the network inside my house, but I'm still limited to the 20 MB/sec from my ISP to the Internet.I have the cable modem provided by my internet provider as the main access point for my home network. This modem is where all of my WiFi devices connect. I used this switch to connect my two other desktop computers that don't have WiFi capability.I love the fact this switch autosenses inactive ports and shuts them down. This is a small power-saving feature overall, but every kilowatt counts towards reducing my electric bill.This switch fit the bill economically, and filled my needs. It's a great little switch at a low price!

I have WiFi a-plenty (both AirPort Express and Linksys E2500), but nothing beats a direct line for streaming. This is perfect for connecting my AirPort Express (which has only one output) to my Apple TV, PVR, Logitech TV Cam, and other media-center equipment. Since I can use only one connection at a time, this has everything wired when I want it. So my little stack (AirPort Express and Apple TV atop this switch) takes up very little space and, except for all the LED lights, is unobtrusive. This unit is fairly specialized and not many will need it, but I'm sure it has more uses than mine. It is just what I was looking for, but didn't know it existed.

i ordered the TP-Link TL-SG1005D 10/100/1000 to replace a problematic (but outdated) Linksys EZXS55W 10/100 switch. once attached to my existing network, the TP-Link worked like a charm. unlike many switches that may "freeze activity" in a mixed speed environment, the TP-Link "auto senses" the various connections w/out the need to be power-cycled. although the TP-Link only displays a connectivity light /connection (no speed or activity light indicators), it's well worth the $18 price tag,i ordered this (and another item) through the Amazon Market @9p on 02/11/13 via the Free Super Saving 5-8 Day Shipping and it arrived @4p on 02/14/13. so i also want to give Amazon a "thumbs up" on their usual quick processing as well.

I recently have built a home theater and needed a fast switch to allow my various gadgets to communicate. Mainly a media server, tivos, dvd player, google tv, apple tv, etc. I got this switch and connected it locally at my entertainment center and it made a huge difference in speed quality when transferring videos from devices.Understand that to really benefit you need to have gigabit cards in your devices, if you have them then this thing flys. The devices I have without gigabit cards the speed is maxed out but it still is faster then it was before.I would recommend this. It's a very basic switch, no bells and whistles, it's just plain fast.

Its much easier to add an endpoint gig switch to a media cabinet these days than to homerun additional Cat6 through your house. Most of my experiences with small switches of this nature is that they have a lifespan of 2-3 years before cooking or dropping packets. while I have only been using this one for a short time and it works flawlessly in my man cave media cabinet, at this price point, its a great buy even if it doesn't last for 2 years - much cheaper than additional cable runs.I have 3 of these in my house now... all working as expected.

I have to start with a chuckle as advertising the device based on its low power consumption is a joke. You have 4 mid level people working with a fully loaded cost of about $400/hour ( 250% - 350% of their salaries) and a device that probably consumes $.005 - $.02 of power per day. Of course if it fails, all the energy used by the employees commuting, running the coffee maker, running the office building etc is wasted.The important issueseasy to installfastreliableI do not have enough experience to pass judgement on reliability but it's off to a great start .

This TP-Link switch has the same performance as a D-Link switch that I recently bought that sells on Amazon for double the price. There's really not much more that you could ask for in an unmanaged switch at this price point - Gigabit Ethernet capability, 5 ports (TP-Link has other models with more ports if you need them), plug and play functionality. Transfer speeds are good, and so far it has been trouble-free. It's not the smallest or most attractive switch you can buy (i.e. you wouldn't necessarily want it sitting on the counter in your kitchen or family room), but it's a great inexpensive addition if you need just a few more ports for any new peripherals.

I was totally prepared to really like this little switch. It takes less than 5 minutes to set-up and seemed to actually speed things up. Unfortunately, 2 out of the 5 devices refused to work including Vonage...Vonage tends to be quirky so at fist I didn't give it much thought as that happens all the time. However, it also refused to run some of our Logitech gear which almost never has a problem. Tried it with the security...nothing. Tried it with the Revue...nothing. So, no vonage, no security, no revue...had to disconnect this and plug all back into the Netgear box which ran everything fine.

I ran out of ports on my current wireless router and wanted a small and inexpensive wired switch to in order to add some more wired ports to my network. So far this switch has exceeded expectations for a small $20 device. The speeds have been consistent so far (thought I have not tested it up to gigabit speeds), and it is more than capable to streaming HD content to my tv (via XBMC and a Raspberry Pi).I would highly recommended this as an option to add more wired ports to your network, as long as you already have a more sophisticated router as a backbone.

This is my first gigabit switch. My router ran out of ethernet ports, and I needed to find a switch. This perfectly fit the bill.It has a small footprint, which is nice - fits in snugly with all my other equipment. I keep it in an enclosed cabinet, and it never gets really warm.I have not noticed any drop off in speeds using this. Using Speedtest, I'm getting the exact same speeds as I was with my router. And now I just doubled my ethernet ports!Comes with an AC adapter and a 6 foot ethernet cable. Works great!

Picked this up because there are few devices I own that are not wireless and need more ports that what I have available on wireless router. This was very easy to setup! I simply plugged it into my Charter Modem and off it went, no configuring or restarting of anything in my house. The speeds are great, and only limited by the device you are using. I have connected my TP-Link Wireless router to this and had no problems there either. Worth the purchase.

There are devices that I really need to have them wired to the router instead of wifi. This network switch is great for sharing one ethenet cable going to the router. The switch operates at gigabit speeds. Have this in my family room to connect the Squeezebox (internet radio/music), PS3, HD DVD player, and A/V receiver. There is no need to access the control panel in the browser. You simply plug your devices in and everything works--true plug-n-play.
