Edit 11/21/2025: I periodically like to perform check-ins on my previous reviews. Over 3 years later I am happy to say this thing still works flawlessly. Haven't encountered a single hiccup. Very consumer friendly and is truly "set it and forget it". ----------------- First off I need to mention that Amazon asked me to rate 3 "features": 'WiFi signal', 'Tech Support', and the 'User Interface'. Let me be clear that this device does not use WiFi and it does not have it's own local IP address to let you log into a "User Interface". Just wanted to point this out in case you come across other reviews that have these two "features" rated that could be misleading you. I recently built a house and had it wired for Cat 6 Ethernet, with there being 1 wall port in each room. One room in particular I have a desktop PC and an Xbox that I wanted both to have a wired internet connection to which is what required the purchase of this device. It is extremely easy to set up, and with it being "unmanaged", there was no portal I needed to sign into that would require me to mess with settings. It's a very simple "plug-and-play" set up, you simply need to connect an incoming ethernet cable from your router/modem (in any port) and then you can now share that internet connection to 4 other wired devices - that's all there is to it. One important note is this: if you have a modem-only device (these devices usually only have a single ethernet port on the back) then you are probably needing a router - not a switch. A router is capable of assigning your devices their own internal IP addresses via DHCP - which is important if you don't know how to assign them yourself. It's also what manages your NAT for situations your devices may need to use the same internet port number. While you don't necessarily need to know what all of this means, you need to understand that a switch is not a replacement for a router. If you are a consumer (as opposed to a business) then you're likely considering this switch to extend/add more ports than what your router has (they usually have around 4 or 5). Even the devices that are connected directly to this switch will still be getting their local IP addresses assigned from your router. The benefit of this switch over a "hub" is that it knows how to route your internet traffic to your devices. So even though it's not responsible for assigning IP addresses to your devices, it knows how to route specific traffic to the devices that require it. It does so lightning-fast - I notice absolutely no additional latency (which is great for gaming) and no compromise in speed either. If you're on the market for a small unmanaged switch, then this is an affordable and excellent choice... A hub, on the other hand, will route all traffic it receives to all devices that are connected to it (they do not 'switch' traffic to specific devices), which essentially requires the devices themselves to ignore the traffic it doesn't want. It adds additional overhead and can potentially cause dropped packets and they just essentially add additional network congestion. I could see a hub being used for something like printers or IoT devices where latency isn't critical, but I think it's ultimately beneficial to just not use them at all even though they might look similar to a switch. And as I've said above, this device does not contain WiFi. You cannot connect this wirelessly to any device. You would be able to purchase a separate device that would connect to this to transmit a wifi signal, but this will not do it on its own.

I have multiple units in my house, and I keep coming back to this model whenever I need to expand the connections at single outlet. It is simple to set up (for normal switch behavior it is simple plug and go) and it offers reliable connectivity. The form factor is compact (for the 5 ports model) and it easily fits in tight space. The metal construction makes it solid and manages the thermals very well (allows you to slip it in places with less than ample ventilation).

Its a switch! Does what it needs to do. Pros: * Runs cold to the touch even when under decent load with multiple devices so its probably very energy efficient. * Seems to be very high performance! No latency or bandwidth changes vs direct CAT6a connection on gigabit ethernet. Tested with up to 3 devices under load. Latency was statistically unchanged and bandwidth/QoS was what you'd expect on paper so overhead is super low and on board protocols are implemented extremely well! Grain of salt though... I haven't formally benchmarked or even really used SOHO switches since the 10/100 days. Maybe all makes/models are similar nowadays, but 20 years ago using switches was only a tad better than a hub in terms collision prevention and simple QoS. * Physical build quality is top notch, with one caveat (see Cons) Cons: * Design of metal casing is probably perfect for mounting on the side of standard 1U or 2U racks, warehouse racks, or anything else with standardized screw hole placement and (ideally) the ability to come in from behind or at least see what you're doing. I needed to mount this to a wall in my home office where I couldn't just screw into a rack with standard mounts and slide the switch in place 5 seconds later. There may be a much better way, but the only solution I could come up with (in order to use the rubber feet as standoffs to allow airflow) was to take the housing apart and unscrew/remove the PCB to see what the correct distance between screws needed to be. In theory this would be the last step but unfortunately problem #2 (really the only roadblock in retrospect) was that when wall mounting, the shape of the mounting cutouts are such that you (or at least me?)don't give you enough "turning radius" to get the switch mounted without the offset from the screw head and the wall surface being stupidly long. The only solution where the standoff distance was both far enough to get the screw heads in there while ALSO getting it to mount securely without flapping around loose was to clip the opening a bit with sheet metal snips. This was a tad challenging but doable, mostly because of the cramped areas for maneuver. My recommended wall mount steps (unless someone has a better way) are: 1. Insert the screws in the mounting holes, and position in the narrower "top" area where they loosely stay in place when held in by hand. This will be the distance when mounted. 2. Gently press the switch and screws into the wall just enough to create 2 small dents so you know where to drill. 3. Drill. I didn't need a drywall screw due to wood paneling, but use drywall screws if bare drywall. If you think you don't need to just do it anyway. Its cheap, easy, and a good best practice to prevent yanks from plugged in devices, etc. 4. Screw the screws in 95% of the way. You may be able to just mount the switch ok. If not, you may need to do step 5... 5. (Optional). If necessary AND you know what you're doing, AND you don't care about warranties, open up the mounting cavity with metal snips, but only after you have unscrewed the device housing and have carefully removed all the (guts). Put them aside in an anti static bag to keep them safe. Start by clipping tiny slivers from the two mounting cavities on the bottom device housing piece. Adjust the screw depth until you can easily mount the housing without it feeling loose. You may need to test/adjust a few times, since the screw head will be blocked by sheet metal. This is the core design flaw, otherwise you could just (at worst) unscrew the top housing cover, remove the "guts", and just screw it in by hand, with the final step being to put everything back together (annoying but simple if you own magnetic screwdrivers). Again, only do this if no viable alternatives exist for you, as I'm sure it voids the warranty. Conclusion? Buy this excellent product, just be prepared for a "project" if this is going on a wall in a SOHO setting.

Simple, fast, and completely reliable I needed a quick way to expand my wired home network, and this 8-port TP-Link switch did exactly what it was supposed to do. True Plug-and-Play: There is zero setup required. You literally just plug it into the wall, connect it to your router, and start plugging in your devices (PC, console, smart TV, etc.). Build Quality: The casing feels sturdy and durable, not like cheap plastic. It’s compact enough to tuck away neatly on a desk or behind an entertainment center. Performance: I get full gigabit speeds across all connected devices with zero dropped connections or noticeable latency. It’s also completely silent, which is a huge plus. If you need to expand your hardwired network without any hassle or complicated configuration, you can't go wrong with this one. Highly recommended!

I have the 16 port in home office where I have 8 devices plugged in. Seems to work well. I have yet to see slow down impact or reliability issues as other reviews have mentioned. I have had just a week installed. This switch uplinks to a 24 port switch in my computer closet with no issue. I have computers, printers, Tivo and other smart devices. I like that it is fanless and quiet with metal housing gives it a durable look and feel.

I bought this TP-Link 5 port switch to add more Ethernet ports, and it worked right away. No setup needed, just plug and play. Speeds have been stable on my console, laptop, and TV with no issues.The metal build feels solid, and it runs completely silent since there’s no fan. It also stays cool even after being on for hours.It’s basic with no advanced settings, but for simple home use it does the job well. Good value for the price.

I replaced a used Netgear 16 port Gigabit switch that was being extremely finicky. This appears to be highly reliable and has a 3 year warranty! I'm hoping for the best! It was a snap to set up, just plugging in. It's 1Gb and fully compatible with my network. This was so easy to use!

I decided to change my wireless home camera set up to wired. Well, my router only has 4x 1Gbps LAN ports and I have my PC + 5 cameras at the moment. I wanted to just turn Wi-Fi off. I mean, Wi-Fi cams are so easy to hack. I've hacked my own and got my credentials + password. So, after having more and more neighbors move in nearby (ughhh), and knowing that I could see everything about their wireless networks, (I am a computer tech guy, I'm not naming software, but I can see who has Ring door bells, smart appliances, cameras and which routers they go to and which extenders are on that LAN). I didn't want anyone seeing me. So, wired, here I come. I have an 8 foot ( I think ) Cat8 (don't ask haha, family member had one) Ethernet cable going from my PC to router. That's port 1. Then I have port 2 going from my router to the TP-Link TL-SG108 8 Port Gigabit Switch. I bought it over the 5 port because... why not? The price was there to just go for the 8 port imo. Plus, I'm gonna fill it up eventually. Then I have the other two 1Gbps ports on my router going out to a camera. Then I have 3x cameras connected to the TL-SG108 Switch. So, so far, 4x connections. 1 from the router, 3x from cameras. Ping to cameras are still <1ms, just like the ones connected directly to the router. I'm using several 30ft and a 50ft Cat 7 ethernet cables from Amazon Basics. They work perfectly. My motherboard has 2.5Gbps Ethernet, so I would have liked to have went with a 2.5Gbps switch, but then I'd also need a 2.5Gbps Ethernet router... so yeah.. 1Gbps it is. Plus, it was way cheaper, anyways. I can't believe how cheap it is. It feels SOLID. Heavy for its size. That is ALWAYS a positive sign in the electronics world. Light electronics are cheaply made. This is not cheap. It doesn't even get warm to the touch. I'm excited and looking for more cameras to add to it haha. Oh, and yes, it's literally plug and play. It's as if all you're doing is adding more ports to your router. There is no other set up involved. To see the devices connected to the switch, you go to your router's admin page as normal. Zero set up other than plugging in the power adapter into it and then the wall. Then just plug your ethernet cable from your router to it. Now... any ethernet devices plugged into the switch will show up on your router and, as such, your home network. I'd buy more. I WANT 2.5Gbps so I'm ready to a 2.5Gbps router, but really, I'll probably have 10Gbps Ethernet on my motherboard by then. Ya can't keep up with the latest and greatest. Besides, my cameras don't come close at all to touching 1Gbps. I use H.264 encoding and they're older. For fun, I used "jpeg" encoding to hit 70Mbps, but it handled it fine. So I went back to H.264 and only run at 15Mbps combined speed. Update: I've now added another Ethernet cable to this TL-SG108 and plugged it into my Samsung SmartTV. Again, zero issues. It's handling everything I throw at it. 110% satisfied with this purchase. If I'm not careful, I'm gonna fill up all 8 ports and have to buy another one haha. Good thing my router is also powerful enough to handle all this (DIR-878). It's nothing special, but it, too, is part of the equation in handling so much data coming through the Ethernet cable that's going to the TL-SG108. I'll stop here... because I'm pretty much saying "I love it" over and over. DEFINITELY recommend it or whichever model you need with the amount of ports you need. I'd recommend future-proofing and going with the 8-port over the 5 port since you will be down 1 port from the get go since you have to plug your router into it. The price is not much more and you don't want to regret not getting the 8 port over the 5 port. BUT that depends on your needs. You may need a 5 port on one side of your house and another 5 port on the other end, I dunno. That's why I went with the 8 port... and then got some 35ft and 50ft Cat7 cables from Amazon Basics. LOVE IT!
