TP-Link TL-SG1016D 16-Port Gigabit Desktop/Rackmount Network Switch

Well !...that's most of the house now networked using a couple of network switches ( or - 'splitters' ), carrying internet all around the place - 'hardwired' - ( that is - using CAT7 ( category 7 ) ethernet cables instead of a Wi-Fi signal ) - to the kids' playstations, TV's, and PC's !! And this 'TP-Link TL-SG105-M2 Unmanaged 5-Port 2.5G Multi-Gigabit Network Switch' is part of a couple of network internet fiber 'splitters', including an 8 port one - that are making everything we use for entertainment in the house linked to the internet !! What's not to like ?!! - And it was on offer from Amazon compared to others of similar scope and capability - but so much cheaper than them !! The quality is good, we swear by TP-Link switches ! When they pack up - hopefully not for a long time - we'll just replace them with like for like ! - Simple ! We have used CAT7 cabling around the house though, we've 'future-proofed' using even faster ethernet when the time comes and the internet gets 'silly-fast' ! If you can afford it, try it ! Great signal from CAT7 ethernet cabling ( hardwiring ) around the home ! And this switch is just right for our ethernet bandwidth ! ( That's why we use 2.5 Gigabit TP-Link switches, our bandwidth from our internet provider is over 2 Gigabits. The switch helps in sharing enough of the ethernet/internet 2 Gigabit bandwidth signal between watching internet TV and when the kids are using the PC or playing games on their XBOX or PS5 at the same time ! I hope you understood that. ) It's not that hard to understand, just go to Youtube or something, and learn how to use a switch - what size bandwidth switch you might need if you do need one, and how to install it ! ( If I can do it - believe me - you can too !! Good luck ! ) 5 Stars for great Prime delivery - next day - thanks Amazon - and this brilliant little discounted TP-Link 2.5 Gigabit Switch that makes such a difference for us all in the home ! ( And maybe for you too soon ?...) 5 Stars !

Does exactly what it says on the box, great price, no complaints - why look for something fancy when all you need is plug and play!

Perfect fit for my 19-inch Tecmojo cabinet. It’s completely silent (fanless) and the metal build feels very solid. It comes with rackmount ears and screws in the box, so installation was easy. Getting full gigabit speeds across the house with no issues. Highly recommend for any home server setup!

Perfect. Does exactly what I wanted with no setup needed other than plugging in a cable.

I got this at a significant discount and it certainly helps to make the 2.5 Gbit upgrade affordable. It's a basic but high quality, performant switch. You can't go wrong.

I recently upgraded my mesh router and wanted to install a network switch in my man cave. The reason was that my setup would be faster and more reliable with ethernet connectivity. I have a PC. PS5. NAS storage for backup and streaming. Adding this switch with cat8 cabling makes the most of the setup. My connection setup is deco be68 to the switch in the cave. The PS5 NAS and PC are all connected to the switch. Overall I would recommend this to anyone who wants more robust connectivity than WiFi alone

I bought this TP-Link 16-Port Gigabit Ethernet Switch, Rack-Mount/Desktop, Steel Case, because I have a lot of devices that need a fast and reliable internet connection. This switch is amazing. It has 16 ports, which can support up to 16 devices at the same time. It also has a gigabit speed, which means it can transfer data at up to 1000 Mbps. It is the ultimate internet accessory. This switch is perfect for any setup, whether it is rack-mounted or desktop. It is very easy to install and use, and it has a steel case, which makes it durable and sturdy. It also has a fanless design, which makes it quiet and cool. It is very sleek and modern, and it looks great in any room. This product is a lifesaver. It has improved my internet experience, and it has made me more productive and happy. I would give it 5 stars and a smiley face. It is the best ethernet switch ever. If you want to have a fast and reliable internet connection, you need this product. Trust me, it's a switch you won't regret.

This is a great low cost switch. I had to rebuild my editing and post production studio. You can imagine the amount of network cables running about. I originally bought the 'unmanaged version" because it was cheaper but found when using multiple ethernet items some of them slowed. I switched it for this mamanged one and instantly saw an improvement. I knoiw have 5 running the studio machines, wifi, computers, speakers, recorders, printers, scanners blah blah. What i love about these switches is that if i have a slow old printer on the network or a slow old computer ... it compensates and just send signal at the speed it needs 10/100 or 1000Mbps. Thanks to these switches i have the fibre broadband in 4 rooms and they all run now at full speed ... even if we are all using at the same time. Lastly, I had a friend who is a technophobe ! He had wires and splitters all over the place from his router to run his heating, Sky, TV, Amazon Cube, Computer, Wifi, Streamer, etc. A real mess. I bought him one of these and he stripped all the wiring out. Had just one cable from his router to this switch and then plugged all the items into this switch. Everything now all run at full speed. No setting up. Straight out of the box ... plugged it in ... plugged the ethernet cables in bingo bango all up and running. Fantastic bit of kit for the price.

Got this device to replace an older netgear 8port switch. Hassle free set up, literally plug and go. Device is larger than expected, consider the specs and layout of your access point cabnet(if your set up is in a wall resess panel and not a a desk). Beyond that works as it should.

Not much smarts, its simply a fast, dumb switch. Nice durable case. Built-in power supply, and uses a (included) plain utility plug. I had intended to buy the next model up which would have some smarts. Plug this in, it switches.

Çok Güzel İşimi cok iyi görüyor tsk ederim.

Compré este TP-Link de 16 puertos Gigabit no gestionable para centralizar todas las conexiones Ethernet de mi vivienda y no puedo estar más contento. La instalación ha sido totalmente plug & play: del router va directamente al switch y desde ahí reparto la red por cable a todas las habitaciones desde el cuadro de comunicaciones. En cuestión de minutos estaba todo funcionando sin tocar configuraciones ni software. Aspectos que más valoro: • Velocidad real Gigabit en todos los puertos. Las transferencias entre equipos y el streaming 4K funcionan sin cortes. • Total estabilidad: lleva funcionando semanas 24/7 sin un solo cuelgue. • Silencioso (no tiene ventilador), perfecto para tenerlo dentro de un armario o cuadro eléctrico. • Buen acabado y tamaño compacto, cabe sin problemas en un rack o mueble de comunicaciones. • Excelente relación calidad-precio para la cantidad de puertos que ofrece. Si quieres montar una red cableada en casa o en una oficina pequeña y necesitas muchos puertos sin complicarte la vida, este switch es una compra totalmente recomendable. Para mí ha sido la solución perfecta para distribuir Internet por toda la vivienda de forma estable y rápida.

This thing is all it needs to be in a tiny, low power package. Already have 5 devices using it religiously with 3 of them being 24/7 servers with port forwarding. Zero hiccups and everything I needed it to do was straightforward and just worked. Recovery from power outages is very fast. Boots up in no time. Having the ability to hang it on the wall was also great and helped save space. No brainer purchase for my setup. Highly recommend.
