LS1008G 8-Port Gigabit Network Switch, Desktop/Wallmount Ethernet Splitter, Plug and Play, Power Saving, Fanless design, Perfect for Home/Office/Surveillance

I bought the TP-Link LS1005G 5-Port Gigabit Switch to expand the number of Ethernet ports in my home network, and it’s been working flawlessly. Setup couldn’t be easier, just plug it in and it works instantly. No configuration, no software, and no hassle. All five ports deliver full gigabit speeds. It handles multiple devices without any slowdowns. The unit is compact, lightweight, and silent since it’s fanless, making it perfect for a desk or entertainment center. Build quality feels solid for the price. Overall, this is an excellent value if you need a reliable, affordable Gigabit Ethernet switch. Highly recommended.

The switch worked straight out of the box with no setup needed. Stable gigabit connection and good performance for home or office use. Compact design and runs quietly. Great value and exactly as described.

Easy to use Mountable Able to use it with my enterprise server and home consumer devices easily Plastic-y but durable

Works very well. I had previously bought one that just plugged into the ethernet port only and i was constantly having problems with it losing connection and having to keep unplugging it in and out to get it working again. This one has had no problems at all and ive been using it for a few weeks now with no loss of connection, the inly downside for me is that it also has to plug into the mains socket, but thats what probably gives it such a stable connection so i cant really complain about that. One other thing to note is that it does not come with an ethernet wire to plug into your router so you have to source one yourself, luckily i had one lying around but if i hadnt it would have been annoying for me,so its losing a star for that.

I needed an additional switch for a short term network redesign before a full redesign later this year with a larger switch and patch panel so bought the cheapest gigabit switch on Amazon. £7.99 at the time. I see complaints about this switch in other reviews so lets start with the negative to get it out of the way. Negative - the switch feels cheap and plasticy. Feels like something from a Christmas cracker. - Status lights don't blink on activity, only static on connection. This may be a positive if the switch is not hidden but mine are hidden and I prefer status blinking for diagnosis That is it for the negatives. Nothing deal breaking there for most people Positives - very small and compact - runs cold so no worries with heat - full gigabit ports - anyone saying speed issues should check their cables or QoS settings on their router. cat6a gives me no issues. - takes heavy throughput easily - I have a gaming / streaming PC, nas and server running several vm's connected to this which get simultaneously accessed by multiple devices on the network with no issues Performance is exactly the same as the netgear pro safe switches which I usually buy and have served me well for years Switch is wired back to router so no issues. If you wire back to another switch before the router, you may see performance drop Overall very pleased with it and works perfectly until I swap this and my netgear switch for a managed enterpise switch later this year My other advice for home users is don't use the rubbish (usually yellow) Ethernet cable your internet provider gives you. Invest in some cat 6 or cat 6a. it makes a difference

Superb, small form factor network switches. What do these actually do you might ask. They simply allow you to take an ethernet cable (aka CAT5, CAT5e, CAT6 and now CAT7) from the back of your home network router (your BT Superhub/Smarthub or Virgin Superhub), and plug it into any of the 5 ports on this thing. You then have four ports free to connect ethernet cables from to you other devices. I'm lucky in that our new house had preinstalled network sockets around the house, but the BT SmartHub didn't work very well in the cupboard under the stairs, so I moved it into the living room. Greath signal now, but I needed a way to "power" the other network plugs around the house. Enter these little beauties. I plugged an ethernet cable from my BT Smarthub into the nearest network wall socket. I then went to to cupboard under the stairs (where the other ends of all the house network sockets terminate). I found which socket had the incoming signal from the router (i.e. the corresponding socket termination, that was connected through the walls, into the BT Smarthub), and plugged an ethernet cable into this "switch". I then took the remaining four slots, and connected ethernet cables from them, into the other network sockets in the cupboard, and boom, high speed internet available where ever there is a socket in my house. Before this method, I had a BT Complete WiFi disc, which was wirelessly connected upstairs, down to the hub in the living room. The connection status was "Good". After using this network switch, and plugging in an ethernet cable into the disc upstairs, it's gone to "Excellent" connection. No, these switches won't improve your WiFi, instead they give you the option of a wired internet connection. Great price, great form factor, and a superb data throughput. Plastic casing, isn't unattractive, but does the job. Would buy again.

Does the job on the box , great item

This TP-Link LS1005G switch is a brilliant little hub for the price. I’ve had zero speed loss when using it - everything runs smoothly, whether it’s for streaming, gaming, or general network traffic. Plug and play setup was effortless, and it’s been rock-solid since. The compact design works well for desktop or wall mounting, and the plastic case feels sturdy enough for everyday use. Ideal for expanding your wired network without breaking the bank. Highly recommended if you need extra ports and reliable gigabit speed.

Inexpensive and works well.

I picked up the TP‑Link LiteWave 5‑Port Gigabit Ethernet Switch on sale for about $10, and even though I haven’t needed to use it yet, I decided to keep it because of how well‑built it feels. The unit looks professional and solid, with a sturdy metal exterior that doesn’t feel cheap at all. I haven’t plugged it into my home network long‑term, but from what I’ve seen and what many other users note, this switch does exactly what it’s supposed to do — expand wired network ports with reliable Gigabit speeds, without needing any configuration. It’s plug‑and‑play, so you can connect devices and expect consistent performance right away. Reviews from other buyers commonly highlight that: • It performs reliably as a basic unmanaged switch. • It stays cool and quiet even with multiple devices connected. • It’s perfect for adding extra Ethernet ports for consoles, PCs, routers, cameras, or smart home gear. For the price I paid (~$10), this is an excellent deal. You won’t get advanced features like managed switching, VLANs, or Power‑over‑Ethernet (PoE), but for a simple, dependable unmanaged switch, it’s exactly what most people need. TP‑Link has a solid reputation for networking gear, and this switch reflects that — it’s straightforward, efficient, and built to last without any fuss. If you’re just looking to add a few extra Ethernet ports without spending much, I’d recommend this as a no‑nonsense, good‑quality option.

Value for money

Este switch es una excelente compra, Una solución rápida para poder conectar diferentes dispositivos sin sacrificar esapacios o requerir la instalación y porogramación de un modem adicional. Por ejemplo, este lo utilizo en mi habitación, en donde sólo tengo un decodificador de mi proovedor de cable y con este switch pude repartir la señal para mi laptop, pantalla inteligente y play station, teniendo una velocidad mayor a la que me daría el wifi del decodificador de mi proveedor de cable. Lo mejor de todo es que no requiere configuración. Tan pronto se saca del empaque y está listo para usarse. Ni siquiera importa el orden de conexión de los puertos, en cualquiera detecta la fuente de internet. El precio es un regalo por la calidad insuperable que ofrece. El tamaño muy pequeño y discreto. Llevo más de un año con él y aún funciona a la perfección. Un excelente producto.

Exelente velocidad y calidad. No hay perdida de velocidad.
