Works great! Getting advertised speeds. Kind of warm, but nothing to worry about. The size is perfect! Quality aluminum, very easy to use, great value for the cost!Edit: I do want to add that this switch DOES NOT support Link Aggregation (IEEE 802.3ad LACP). Bummer. This makes it go from a 9.5/10 to a 8/10. Other than that, it's an extremely fast switch. I can't test it to it's listed ability of 40Gbps, but I've been able to test 3 x 2.5gbps transfers and they were all transferring at 2 - 2.3gbps.

Affordable and works great, occasional cut offs but I’m sure that’s on my ISP side. Overall really easy to use.

Easy to install, no mess no crazy wires. Good metal quality that works as a heat sync. Overall this is an awesome product. Speeds didn’t drop and was constant.

Running rock-solid for 2 months. Fast transfers between all my devices, whether on 10/5/2.5or 1Gbit.Works great with TP-Link routers (my QNAP switch used to give me issues).The metal chassis is a nice design choice. Barrel-plug power supply, so don't misplace it.I haven't measured the power draw.

muito bom

El equipo lo puse en mi casa y conecte mis equipos de sonido, mis camaras y funcionan muy bien a buena belocidad.Requiero de una factura oficial y no me me érmite hacerla. por eso no me gusta cmprar en Amazon

The splitter is designed to handle multiple devices efficiently, making it a versatile addition to any setup.Practical Use:This splitter is perfect for home use, especially if you have multiple devices that need a wired connection but limited Ethernet ports. Whether it’s for your smart TV, desktop computer, gaming console, or any other Ethernet-enabled device, this splitter provides an easy way to expand your network capabilities.Summary:Overall, the Ethernet Splitter offers exceptional value and performance. It’s an economical solution that reliably turns one Ethernet port into four, making it an excellent choice for expanding connectivity in any home or office setup. If you’re in need of a splitter that doesn’t compromise on quality or performance, this is definitely the one to go for. Highly recommended!

10Gbps throughput as promised, and can go through 100ft of Ethernet easily. Good for old houses. Bit expensive tho.

Recomendo o uso, pois faz VLAN e outras características de switch gerenciável!!!!

Update in 2024:This review is originally from 2020. This little thing is still going strong and lovely. It’s been moved several times as the home network has been changing and upgrading, and it keeps going. No complaints, just keeps working. Probably the most reliable piece of tech in my home network next to the UPS units I have for the machines. The original unit serves high demand steaming/upload download on the local network (NAS + servers in a proxmox setup). I have other units that service other parts of the home, and they work great.TLDR: If you have issues with Zoom, streaming services, or just overall spotty internet connection with your WiFi, you may want to consider getting the 5 port switch (not PoE! Save yourself some money) along with some CAT 6 cables (for gigabit internet). Unmanaged works fine for just ‘plug and play’. It’s insane how much it helps! You shouldn’t have to do much besides plugging in everything and selecting the ‘Ethernet’ option on the device if it doesn’t so automatically. They’re reliable and easy to setup and use.The long story:I had purchased the PoE one at first to allow it to later be utilized for a security station if need be (or if I had something fun to play with), but I also got the unmanaged 5 port (without PoE) on accident. The one WITHOUT PoE is much smaller (3/4 the size it feels like). I would recommend the 5 or 8 port if you just have a few things you wish to plug in to it. PoE is not something you should worry about unless you know your devices require it. My household has issues with WiFi, so many devices can’t connect well enough to have an enjoyable experience. WiFi extenders, a new router, etc, did not work for us in the past (and ended up causing many issues), so we resulted to using Ethernet for our most used devices. Our internet plan is top tier for our area, so we expected better connections. Turns out we just do a whole lot of internet stuff to bog down the main router and our bandwidth!The household setup:One switch (PoE 5 port, unmanaged) is at the router since the router only offers 2 Ethernet ports. This switch services a smart TV, computer, and free cable for whatever device we decide to plug in (be a laptop or game console). It also services another switch (5 port, unmanaged) across the house. That way we only have one Ethernet cable running across the house until we can put it under the house.The second switch services a WiFi station, computer, game console, and smart TV. The computer is on 24/7 and the TV is on a majority of the day and night streaming HD movies and shows from multiple services. All of these are fairly ‘heavy’ devices on this switch, as in they are constantly downloading or uploading content all waking hours of the day.All devices are connected with CAT 7 Ethernet cables, but CAT 6 work just fine. (I would recommend CAT 6 or CAT6a since it is certified to run gigabit. CAT 7 is overkill and I do not recommend it because of price and it’s not standardized as much as the others).Results:So far everyone in the household has noticed an improvement not only with the devices plugged into the switches, but also the overall WiFi quality. Smart phones are no longer ‘dropped’, the printer remains connected, and even most laptops are seeing better speeds and responsiveness on the WiFi. My household is especially polluted with plug and play devices (such as Amazon Echos, Ring Cameras, wireless smart plugs, etc), and all of these seem more responsive now that we have gotten the ‘heavy’ loads off of the WiFi.The second switch that is piggybacking off of the first switch has no issues, and all devices are able to preform to their peak. Even though not all of them are gigabit, they seem to greatly benefit from being on Ethernet. Zoom calls are much better too. Before we could only have 1 person on zoom but now everyone can get on so long as only one person is on WiFi.The switches do not heat too much and are easily concealable, but require power. I do not recommend stuffing them into a blanket closet or among pillows though, even though it’s tempting to hide their flashing lights.Overall they have exceeded my expectations. This review will be updated in the future if any issues arise.

This smart TP-Link Smart switch [Model# TL-SG108E] is so easy to set up and has additional software in caseyou want to play administrator with your home/office network. (This is not a review of a highly technical natureso if you are a Tech Admin look elsewhere. Thank you.)First some information that should be included right off the bat.:: Steel Housing; 6-1/4”W x 4”D x 1-1/4”H (w/ 4 rubber feet):: Unlimited Tech Support 24/7 by phone. (I have not used it):: 5 year Warranty-- System Requirements (Listed on the box) --:: RJ45 Ethernet Cables:: Computer with Windows 8/7/Vista/XP, Mac OS or Linux operating system (No issues using Windows 10 Pro):: Network Adapter (I used my internet router with multiple Ethernet ports)-- Package Contents --:: The 8-Port Smart Switch (Yellow and Green LEDs for connected speed indication):: Power Adapter:: Installation Guide (2-pages):: Resource CD (3-inch mini-size)I purchased this switch because my son has friends over to the house and they bring their laptops to play gameson-line. They had been using the Wi-Fi but it is slow and unreliable, in our household, and bandwidth was at apremium. I decided to buy a switch so all the friends could tap into the TP-Link switch and use the fiber opticsinternet access.I only had to furnish six Ethernet cables and off they went. They are able to play on line games using the switchand I have heard of no problems so far. Well, except for a tangle of Ethernet cables. Watch your step in the livingroom while the gamers camp and play.This switch was made for the home office, or small business, but I decided to use it for a home network becauseit appeared durable in its steel box, has 8 ports up to 1000Mbps each and the price was so right after a $15.00rebate. This switch is more than is needed at this time, but for the price point after the rebate, I have no regrets.I would list all the features and benefits of this switch but most of them mean little to nothing to me. A networkadmin would understand what this switch is capable of doing for a network.The switch is a simple dark metal steel box, with LEDs that show your System Power, Link, with Speed (Greenor Yellow) and activity indicators for each port. The box sits just under the edge of my TV set for easy access. Itfeels cool to the touch even after operating for hours. Nice.When you set up the switch box you use one of the 8 ports to take the Ethernet cable from the router and usethe other 7 ports as outputs. Each of the 8 Ethernet ports are Auto-negotiating. That means you do nothing butplug in the cable. So this leaves you with 7 ports to use as outputs for any Ethernet-ready electronic device. Thiscan include gaming consoles, TVs, media boxes like Amazon Fire TV, Roku etc. as well as a laptops.I was able to run an Ethernet cable from one room, from the cable router, and set the switch box under my TVin the next room. (The entire length from the router to the switch should be less than 328 feet). That's one portused so far. I also needed to run my Amazon Fire TV box out of the next Ethernet port to the television. That left6 Ethernet ports for the gamers.I looked at the Configuration Utility software, after installation, to see what information would be available. This isnot a web-based graphical interface (GUI) but a software interface on this particular model (TL-SG108E). TheUtility CD is a 3 inch mini-disk. If your player cannot play a mini-disk you will need to download the ConfigurationUtility software from TP-Link.The software, after installation, provides you with the ‘Discovered Switches’ interface with the headings: Product,Device Description, MAC Address, IP Address, Located on IP Network, IP Setting, and Login. I do know that theMAC Address of any device can be used to help secure the network. I use them with all the devices using thecable router, whether it be iPod, laptop, desktop computer, Amazon Fire TV box, etc.To be clear I did nothing with the provided software to be able to hook up the box and use it. I did need to openmy cable router’s Admin software and entered the TP-Link switch’s MAC Address so my router would securelyrecognize it, but other than that, nada. Ez Pz.5 Stars for TP-Link Easy Smart switch’s plug and play set-up, ease of use by its intended user-gamers, sturdysteel construction, and a wonderful after-rebate price point. There have been no issues since it was installedOctober 2015. If you can find an ‘Unmanaged’ switch for this price, size and durability go for it.NOTE: Besides the included Installation Guide, a 2-sided paper guide with instructions and images, you shouldalso download from Customer Service the PDF files that will provide more specifications and detailed informationabout the switch and its software.
