TL-SG1008D

Worked as advertised.

In the past, I have worked with many network switches (not necessarily my own), and the vast majority of them were non-smart switches (or dumb switches, whichever you prefer). Upon setting this up, I noticed that it was a smart switch, which completely changed my perspective on my review for this product. I have now been using this for over a month, and I could not be happier with it. It requires absolutely NO configuring, and works like a charm, all while providing amazing transfer speeds over my local network. All I had to do was just plug in my devices. Honestly, I could live without the smart features of it, but it sure is a nice feature to have. This would be really great for someone who wants to plug in more devices than their router will allow, but doesn't have much experience with networking or just technology in general. Overall, it is a great product, and is well worth the $20.

8 years later, still chugging away. Unbelievable quality and reliability.

Bought this to ramp up my home network and not have to constantly change which device is connected via cable at home! Bought this specific model since it offered 8 gigabit ports (7 usable since 1 goes to the router that is connected to your modem) and its from TP-Link a company that i've bought devices from for years. Ease of setup: Super easy, plug and play. I have all 8 ports in use right now and it was a very simple setup process. Long story: I recently upgraded to gigabit internet from xfinity, while the service is great, the xFi device has some serious issues when it comes to connecting over VPN through your WiFi devices! It will randomly drop VPN packets for 10-15 seconds every now and then! The xfinity customer care refused to believe this so I had to improvise! Now I use my xFi device in bridge mode so it functions as a gigabit modem and have the ethernet out going to a Nest WiFi router, the ethernet out from that flows into this switch. Overall this setup works great. Minor issues: - The device is extremely light, it would have been great if they had anti slip pads at the bottom of the device so it won't keep sliding around on my table. - The power cable could have definitely done with a smaller profile! It did not need the big head prongs.

This is a pretty good Gigabit switch to say the least. So far it has been working good for me as it does what it was built for. I just bought a new build in Texas and the house came pre-wired with ethernet & coax cable so I needed a switch to activate all the outlets around the house. I got the 8-port switch which was sufficient for my needs. My only concerned was that I had to install it in the attic since there is where all the ethernet cables terminate, so I was worried that it would not last the hot Texas summer. Fortunately, being that is a new house, the attic does not get as hot as I thought, but still hovering so far in the low 100 degrees F. If something happens to it, then at least I did not spend too much to test it. Overall, I would definitely recommend it to anyone who is in need of more ethernet ports for wired connections. Works great at an affordable price and does not feel cheap at all (even though is made out of plastic)

I am a networking professional and bought this switch because there was a good deal going on and I needed an extra GigE switch for my home. Pros: -I've done a lot file transfers and streaming through it and so far haven't noticed any issues. I haven't done any iPerf tests to confirm that it can actually support line rate Gigabit Ethernet, but so far I'd recommend it. -I've also done a lot of ping floods through it and haven't seen any packet loss. -It doesn't make any noise or excess heat and has a small footprint so it fits inside my structured wiring panel. -Also, the power adapter has a skinny footprint, so it doesn't take up a bunch of outlets on my power strip, which is nice. Cons: -It's unmanaged - but what do you expect for the price? I'm a cheapskate, I'll admit it. This thing fits the bill and I'll be happy as long as it lasts a few years. -No link lights on the front of the switch - this is a bit odd since most consumer grade desktop switches have link lights on the front. The front panel has a tinted appearance to it which originally made me think there were link indicators behind it, but there are not. It's ok, there's link lights on the back with the ports.

We are able extended internet to workstations with one single internet connection. It is easly to use. Just give power and use it.

Excelente producto, muy recomendable

Der Switch tut soweit was er soll, aber leider kam das Netzteil nicht mit einem EU-Stecker, sondern mit einem US-Stecker. Ich habe das Netzteil jetzt erst mal über Laborkabel mit 4mm Büschelstecker an der Schuko-Steckdose angeschlossen. Das Netzteil liefert laut Aufschrift 9V DC bei 0,6A. Der Eingangsbereich ist 100V bis 240V AC. Der Hohl-Stecker vom Netzteil der in den Switch kommt hat einen Aussendurchmesser von 5,5mm und einen Innendurchmesser von 1,9mm. Masse liegt am Aussenkontakt des Hohlsteckers. Der Pluspol am Innenkontakt. Diese Informationen gehöhren eigendlich zur Produktbeschreibung dazu.

This was to connect the Ethernet cables I have installed round the house to the main incoming hub. Was quick and easy to install and is working as expected. Good little product.

Tout est dans le titre. Le modèle vendu est manifestement destiné au marché anglais: la prise électrique est une prise anglaise incompatible avec les prises françaises. Pour le reste rien à signaler.
