I've always loved this brand it seems to hold up quite well. It hasn't let me down yet and the price was quite reasonable. It allows me to hook up many other ethernet options to it. Easy install and very functional. Doesn't get too hot and we've had it for about a year now.

Basic GUI that allows most any configuration needed in a SOHO environment, but sure wish it reported per port POE usage or at least overall PoE usage. Also, most people aren't going to get maximum use of the 64W power budget out of only four ports, so sure wish it had more than four enabled for PoE. On the other hand, it wouldn't connect to main main switch at more than 100Mbps, and its cable test function showed a cable fault 34ft from the switch - nice. Overall, a solid buy for the money.

Used to have Aumox, but that caused all kinds of problems, including a few dead wifi mesh devices. This works fantastically well, and seems to deliver the advertised power. I have 3 of these installed at this point, no complaints.

I got this to experiment with VLANs and upgrade our home network to be more robust and secure. If you're willing to tinker, this is definitely worth the money. It's fast and has two features I needed, POE and VLAN support. I've been using it over a year, and have had no issues with it.I use it to power a Unifi AP over POE, and the AP powered up immediately on plugging it in to one of the four POE ports. I just had to configure it in the Unifi management console and it worked. Later, I added additional wireless SSIDs with VLANs to separate networks by function. This required a bit of research to get the 802.1q settings right, because they don't tell you much of anything about how to set it up. But once I figured out how to set it, it is actually very simple. I the attached image, port 3 has the Unifi AP and port 8 connects to a pfSense firewall. In my setup, you have to configure the VLANs in 3 places (pfSense, Unifi, and this switch) so it's the VLAN IDs that make them work together. More work, less money, but it works fine.I would recommend this if you want a GB switch with POE and don't care about VLAN settings, since it is really simple to plug-and-play in that case. Also recommended if you want a managed switch and don't mind having to configure the VLAN settings manually, and would rather save the money vs. buying a switch that is fully integrated with a management console like Unifi or Omada.

Just bought this to expand the home network, added this in my networking closet behind my cable modem and wifi router. Performs at gigabit speed as expected. Fanless operation is a big plus as my networking closet is in a bedroom. Wall mount option is also a nice feature. I'm not doing PoE yet so I can't comment on that, but other features such as the three different modes of QoS, access to port stats and integrated cable testing are nice touches and future proofing for PoE security cameras or another wifi access point down the road make this switch worth the few extra bucks over unmanaged options.Dinging this one star because of a decision on TP-Link's part which led to some unnecessary configuration trouble for me. They default the IP address of the management interface to 192.168.0.1. This is the default IP for many wifi routers, including mine, so I couldn't connect to the switch at first. I had to disconnect the switch from the wifi router, then wire my desktop to the switch and manually configure my desktop's network settings to be able to reach its web interface. Not a huge deal but a bit of a pain. Could have been easily avoided if they just picked something like 192.168.0.200. If someone were getting this switch for a bunch of PoE devices and didn't have an easily wired PC around (not that rare, luckily I have my desktop but I also have 3 laptops in the house, none of which have ethernet ports any more) this would have been a bigger pain (would have had to change my wifi router's IP, etc...).
