TL-SG1008D

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.

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.

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.

This does the job of a network switch. Of that I have no complaints. For just under $20 you get a hunk of plastic that looks pretty sleek and expands your network by 7 ports (the eighth is really to connect to your router). Give it some power and start plugging your stuff in. Easy. The lights on each port are not obnoxiously bright like my cable modem which is nice, and I don't hear the hum or squeal some folks have noted in their reviews. If I put my ear directly on it I hear what resembles those noises but under normal circumstances being at least 2 feet away with other ambient noise in the room I do not hear it. My main issue is that it is way too light to stay in place, hence the loss of 1 star on this review. The weight of the 7 ethernet cords in the back make it pop a wheelie on my desk. Even 2 or 3 are enough to drag it off the desk. It would be helpful if they add $1 to the price and add rubber feet to the bottom. The bottom does have 4 small "feet" but they are just part of the molded plastic case. If they were rubber/rubberized then perhaps it wouldn't slide so much or at least you could put some weight on top and have it stay in place. But putting something on top takes away from the looks of it so...I could have gotten the metal version which may be heavy enough to stay put, and this one does have 2 keyhole slots on the back for hanging, both of which would have been fine for my desk at work, but with the sleek black look let's be honest, it's marketed for the home consumer. Who is going to mount this on their living room wall with cords hanging off it or want the bulky metal one on display? So, overall it does it's job and I don't regret purchasing it, I just wish it was a bit heavier so it would stay put.

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

I have a LOT of devices connected to my router: XBox One 2x XBox 360 PS3 PS4 Audio Receiver Tivo 2+ iPads 2+ iPhones 2x Apple TV's 2x Windows laptops MacBook Pro And probably several others I've forgotten. I decided I want to get some of these (particularly devices doing heavy downloads or online gaming) connected by hardline instead of wifi, but my router had only 4 Ethernet ports. I purchased this so that I could have all of my devices in the entertainment system connected to the router by wire. Set up was easy - ethernet cable from router to switch then plug in switch to AC. Bought short ethernet cables for TiVo, XBox One, Apple TV, etc. and plugged them in - done. All connected with zero problems. Been running with this in place for a few weeks - and though it could be placebo, I feel that I have to reboot my router less often and have fewer issues getting my mobile devices to stay connected to wifi. (Have not noticed any difference in streaming movies, but downloads to my XBox One are definitely faster.)

Worked as advertised.

You have lots of choices when choosing a managed switch, so why choose this one? First, TP-Link is a respected, well known brand in both the private and enterprise communities. They make a solid product and you can't go wrong putting your faith in them. Second, the price. For under $20, I consider this a steal. Third, it is aesthetically pleasing. If you are installing this somewhere that it will be seen, like an entertainment center, you may want something more subtle than the more industrial, metal cased switches on the market. This looks similar to most routers or modems on the market today. Here's how you install it: You plug in the power, then you run an ethernet cable from your router to an open port on the switch. That's it. Once connected to your router you are free to plug in seven more devices. That's one thing that should be noted, the connection between this and your router will consume one port on each. So if you have a four port router and an 8 port switch, you can plug in 10 devices, not 12. There is only one issue I could foresee anyone having with this, and that is that because of the rounded case, you cannot stack anything on top of it. If you are looking to slide this under your router or modem you will wind up with a sloppy looking, wobbly stack. If that's something you want to do, there are other options out there.

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

Facil instalação e bom funcionamento, TP-Link nunca decepciona.

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.

روعه ضل معاي من سنة 2023 والى اليوم وممتاز وانصح فيه بقوه وامس اشتريته لثاني مره

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.
