TP-Link TL-SF1008D 8-Port 10/100 Mbps Desktop Ethernet Switch/Hub, Ethernet Splitter, Plug & Play, no configuration required , White

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.

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 switch is amazing for the price. Originally, I was looking at a gigabit TP-Link switch for around double the price (and part of me would still prefer that one) but then I saw this 100Mbps one for half the price, and my Internet connection doesn't surpass 100Mbps at the moment anyway so it would have been silly to get the more expensive one. Also, this switch has eight ports as opposed to the five the other had. The switch has yet to display an sign of failure and has been a lifesaver expanding the number of ethernet ports in my bedroom. The only advantage of a gigabit switch over this 100Mbps one for home use would have been for faster peer to peer data transfer, which I don't often do anyway. Overall, a great switch, especially for the cost!

You plug your ethernet devices in and lo & behold, you turned one ethernet port into many. I already have an ethernet hub in my home downstairs to connect wired devices, by using this one upstairs (which is connected to the downstairs hub) I can further split my wired network upstairs without more cables climbing up the stairs. USEFUL INFO FOR NEW BUYERS: - Even though it is a 10 port hub, technically you can only plug up to 9 devices into it, because one port will be committed to connecting to the internet modem/router. - This device does need to be plugged into the mains. If you need to plug more than 9 devices in or you want to split your wired network into complex arrangements, note that every device you buy will be consuming electricity - This device is cheap and plasticy. It doesn't weigh very much, which means that unlike heavier computer accessories, you cannot just place it neatly on a desk, plug it in and expect it to stay sat still. The stiff nature and weight of ethernet cables as they try to unbend themselves will pull it about and reorient it or even cause it to fall off the desk. Furthermore, it does not have any screw holes so you cannot easily mount it to something. You might have to try mounting it with a strong glue or sticky tape, or place something heavy on top of it to keep it in place.

Really simple switch. Weighty yet small form factor. I have an omada setup but got this to just get some devices downstream wired up for better connection

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).

I've moved more towards a TP-link set up with the OC200 hardware managing it all. I'd had it set up a while ago but wanted a small switch for my office. I initially encountered a problem when trying to adopt it as it said the device was incompatible with my switch (I've got a ER605 and SG2210P with some access points). What transpires is that during setup of the initial site network I selected a non-easy network function. This prevents the adoption. Changing the site settings to easy managed and it very quickly adopted it and started working. I then got concerned as all the LEDs went out. I run with all LEDs disabled but wanted to see them on the switch so a quick override in OC200 and its all good again. The ES205G is much cheaper than the SG2210P and seems to provide all you need for a SOHO set up. Working well so far so very happy with it.

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.

Works as intended!

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
