TP-Link TL-SG1008D 8-Port Gigabit Desktop Network Switch, Ethernet Splitter

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.

I cannot flaw this item, so it is fully worthy of 5 stars. Honestly! I could not find a single fault with it. It's just perfect, and at the price, has no competition at all. The design is attractive and sleek. When I opened the box, I was surprised by how small the product was, much smaller and thinner than some ethernet switches. The lights on the front do what they are meant to do - you can see them perfectly well when you look straight-on, but they can't be seen out of the corner of the eye where they would be annoying. Perfect. I have had items from TP-Link before, and whilst I do like them for being reliable ("The reliable choice", am I right?!), the speed of their products has been lackluster. This is different, there were no slowdowns and I could transfer files between multiple clients simultaneously at near-gigabit speeds (to those who aren't aware, 1 gigabit does not equal 1 gigabyte per second, it's more like 128.5 megabytes per second). I really see no reason for people not to buy this switch. It's small and hides away nicely, it looks great and works perfectly well. Also, over the 3 months I've had it so far it hasn't broken, and I'll update this review if it does.

Literally anyone can use this to expand their wired network at home. A great way to get round the limitations of wifi. Plug in the power, plug in your devices using network cables. Plug the switch into your router. In my case the 4 ports on my BT Homehub were all full. I replaced one with the cable to the switch and plugged all my other devices in to the switch. The switch immediately works. Nothing to configure. The difficult bit for some people might be getting the cables around their house, but if you have the devices in the same room as your router it is child's play. I used mine to connect far more devices to my BT homehub than it has ports for. Currently we have 2 PS4s, 2 smart TVs, a desktop PC, a humax tv recorder, a CCTV DVR and a Hive home control, and I still have a couple of spare ports. My sons who like to be gaming on their PS4s particularly appreciate the stability and speed of their connection.

You know the score, a modern home has endless wifi devices adding up when you add a new alexa or new lifx light etc. I do prefer a wired connection for most devices and my Synology router was fine but is limited with ports. So i thought i would extend that with this device. Then i could move another 5 or so devices over to wired (mainly Pc's, SBC and printers) This is as plug and play as you can get, link one port on this device to one port on the router and job done. As for build quality, it is plastic and well made. Yes there are metal ones but to be fair it does not get warm to the touch so see no point in paying extra for metal casing. One thing i know about TPLINK products they are fantastic value and well built, would always take their products over other brands like netgear and dlink as they have never let me down in the past

I've had two TP-Link TL-SG1005D 5 port switches running continuously for over 7 years now so, when I needed an extra port to add a Sky Q Mini box, I didn't hesitate to buy this 8-port switch. All that was required was to swap the Ethernet cables over to the new switch and power it up with the new power supply and everything work first time. I am now able to network my Windows 10 PC, an old Dell XP PC, a Mac Mini, Sky Q, a Hive hub, my XBOX One and my NAS drive plus a Trendnet Ethernet-over-mains adaptor. The only slight disadvantage compared to the older switch is that this new one has the activity LEDs built-in to the Ethernet connector ports so they are on the back whereas the old switch had the ports on the back and the LEDs on the front. However this is a minor grumble as, how often does one need to check the status of the connections? If this switch proves as reliable as the previous ones, I will be well satisfied with my £15.99 purchase!

Problem: As my Smart Home develops, there is more demand on Ethernet Ports on the ISP's Router - it only has 4 ports. I have 5 devices, and will probably add more. I learned about this solution after trailing through pages of information about managed/unmanaged Ethernet Switches, Routers and lots of complicated instructions about how to convert a Router/Modem into Modem only. My head reeling with all this information I went shopping on Amazon for a solution. Most devices I looked at, I didn't really understand what they did exactly, and seemed to cost a fortune. Then I found this! Oh, Joy! Not only is this cheap, it does exactly what I need. I connected all my smart Home Hubs, my Printer and my PC and used the existing ethernet cable from the Modem/Router to connect to the TP-Link. Took 5 mins. I did have to spend the next 20 mins "reminding" my Smart Hubs to connect to my network, but that wasn't hard. Everything works great and I now have 3 spare Ports for future use. So if you have the same problem as I did then this is the solution you are looking for.

I needed more ethernet ports than my old tp-link (5 port) ethernet switch provided, so decided to get this 8 port version. Also my old switch was only 10/100 Mbps, whereas the new one was 10/100/1000 Mbps. I didn't expect the subsequent jump in speed which I experienced from the new switch. It has made a big difference, stuff now responds much more quickly than before. I used the old and now the new, switches to provide hard wired broadband to my home entertainment systems. So that means TV, Humax, Chromecast and Now TV devices all sharing the one broadband feed, via Powerline connection to my Router. With the new 8 port switch I am now free to add further stuff to my hard-wired broadband. The switch was very easy to install, really just "Plug & Play" and represents excellent value for money. Update:- As my old 5 port switch stopped working, I bought a new TP Link 5 port switch and it works just as well as the 8 port. These switches are simplicity itself to install and worth every penny.

This review is for the TP-LINK TL-SG1008D V6 PRO's This switch is great to look at with a modern look to it and for me at least does not look out of place (im running 2 of these in differant rooms). The led's are not as bright to look at from the same angle as the pics make out which means they are not distacting when used near the tv (or computer) Its the first switch ive had where the claims of powering down ports when not in use is true (as tested with a power meter). Has a good length power lead (the one i got seems to be just over 1.3 meters). CON's The led's are just green so it doesnt give any connecting info other then flashing for data transfer. The one we have behind the tv with 6 things plugged into it is warm to the touch but not hot (where the one in the office that has 4 items on it at the momment is nice and cool). There is a little lag when more then one device is useing the link at the same time but thats understandable and to be honist it hasnt affected me at all, i only know it as when im downloading on demand to the sky box the "read ahead" to the netflix app on our smart tv is not as high as when only useing netflix BUT it has never buffered once since i installed it unlike our last belkin 5 port switch which seemed to fall down when 2 devices where in use at the same time. I would recomend this item to anyone. (Useage info, bthub5 connected to both switch's (one upstairs in the office and one in the living room) by unshielded cat 6 cable (on both the link is via port 1 with other devices connected to the switch from port 8 backwords) with all devices connected to the swiches (apart from the links to the router which is 30 meters to upstairs and 10 meters to the downstairs one) by one to 3 meter sheilded cat 6 cables).

يعمل بشكل جيد

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
