Wonderful TP- Link item.
I've been using TP- Link products for years for business and personal projects and I have yet to have anything fail. Knock on wood. I was in IT for a large corporation and started using some TP-Link products for some overseas projects when we ran into needs that we hadn't anticipated. Their products were usually readily available at local shops so I got what I could to solve my needs. I had no clue if they were good quality or not but I needed the, so I went with them. Every TP product I have purchased is very good quality. I had used another well known brand for years but started noticing too many failures right after the warranty ended. I switched to TP-Link and like I said haven't seen anything fail yet. Super easy to install, nice and compact and works great. The other brand switch was acting up and then failed completely so I purchased this and it is working great. Cont say enough how happy I have been with TP products. I've probably been using their products for 10+ years with no complaints. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Basic, functional, inexpensive, and cool-running switch
Nice Gigabit upgrade for my old D-Link switches. The D-Links don't support a special protocol needed for ethernet backhaul between components of my wireless Mesh network, and the TP-Link switches do.

Plug and Play... that's all there is to it.
I decided to change my wireless home camera set up to wired. Well, my router only has 4x 1Gbps LAN ports and I have my PC + 5 cameras at the moment.I wanted to just turn Wi-Fi off. I mean, Wi-Fi cams are so easy to hack. I've hacked my own and got my credentials + password.So, after having more and more neighbors move in nearby (ughhh), and knowing that I could see everything about their wireless networks, (I am a computer tech guy, I'm not naming software, but I can see who has Ring door bells, smart appliances, cameras and which routers they go to and which extenders are on that LAN).I didn't want anyone seeing me. So, wired, here I come.I have an 8 foot ( I think ) Cat8 (don't ask haha, family member had one) Ethernet cable going from my PC to router. That's port 1. Then I have port 2 going from my router to the TP-Link TL-SG108 8 Port Gigabit Switch. I bought it over the 5 port because... why not? The price was there to just go for the 8 port imo. Plus, I'm gonna fill it up eventually. Then I have the other two 1Gbps ports on my router going out to a camera.Then I have 3x cameras connected to the TL-SG108 Switch. So, so far, 4x connections. 1 from the router, 3x from cameras.Ping to cameras are still <1ms, just like the ones connected directly to the router. I'm using several 30ft and a 50ft Cat 7 ethernet cables from Dropy Basics. They work perfectly.My motherboard has 2.5Gbps Ethernet, so I would have liked to have went with a 2.5Gbps switch, but then I'd also need a 2.5Gbps Ethernet router... so yeah..1Gbps it is. Plus, it was way cheaper, anyways. I can't believe how cheap it is. It feels SOLID. Heavy for its size. That is ALWAYS a positive sign in the electronics world. Light electronics are cheaply made. This is not cheap. It doesn't even get warm to the touch.I'm excited and looking for more cameras to add to it haha.Oh, and yes, it's literally plug and play. It's as if all you're doing is adding more ports to your router. There is no other set up involved. To see the devices connected to the switch, you go to your router's admin page as normal.Zero set up other than plugging in the power adapter into it and then the wall. Then just plug your ethernet cable from your router to it. Now... any ethernet devices plugged into the switch will show up on your router and, as such, your home network. I'd buy more. I WANT 2.5Gbps so I'm ready to a 2.5Gbps router, but really, I'll probably have 10Gbps Ethernet on my motherboard by then.Ya can't keep up with the latest and greatest. Besides, my cameras don't come close at all to touching 1Gbps. I use H.264 encoding and they're older. For fun, I used "jpeg" encoding to hit 70Mbps, but it handled it fine. So I went back to H.264 and only run at 15Mbps combined speed.Update: I've now added another Ethernet cable to this TL-SG108 and plugged it into my Samsung SmartTV. Again, zero issues. It's handling everything I throw at it.110% satisfied with this purchase. If I'm not careful, I'm gonna fill up all 8 ports and have to buy another one haha. Good thing my router is also powerful enough to handle all this (DIR-878). It's nothing special, but it, too, is part of the equation in handling so much data coming through the Ethernet cable that's going to the TL-SG108.I'll stop here... because I'm pretty much saying "I love it" over and over. DEFINITELY recommend it or whichever model you need with the amount of ports you need. I'd recommend future-proofing and going with the 8-port over the 5 port since you will be down 1 port from the get go since you have to plug your router into it. The price is not much more and you don't want to regret not getting the 8 port over the 5 port.BUT that depends on your needs. You may need a 5 port on one side of your house and another 5 port on the other end, I dunno. That's why I went with the 8 port... and then got some 35ft and 50ft Cat7 cables from Dropy Basics.LOVE IT!

Reliable, Stable, and Characteristic-Rich Networking Gear
Before switching to the TP-Link ER605 V2, I was restarting my cable company's modem/router combo once or twice a week due to constant dropouts and poor Wi-Fi performance. Since installing the ER605 and putting the modem in bridge mode, it has been running flawlessly for over 3 years-the only reboot I've done was after making configuration changes myself.At home, I use the ER605 with a TP-Link EAP610 for Wi-Fi, managed via the OC200 controller. At another property I manage, it's paired with a TP-Link EAP225, controlled through the Omada software running on Proxmox. The entire Omada ecosystem-covering load balancing, firewall, VPN, and network management-is stable, intuitive, and enterprise-grade yet budget-friendly.If you need more ports with VLAN control and Omada integration, the TP-Link TL-SG2008 is an excellent choice. This smart managed PoE-in switch supports VLANs, L2/L3/L4 QoS, static routing, IGMP snooping, and link aggregation. It integrates seamlessly with the ER605 and is perfect for home labs or small business networks requiring flexibility and control.If you don't need advanced management features, the TP-Link TL-SG108 is a simple, plug-and-play option. It's unmanaged, fanless, built tough, and just works right out of the box-ideal for quickly expanding your wired network without fuss.
