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!

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.

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

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!

Works perfect, bought to split the single 2gbps port on my router to multiple deco repeaters. Highly recomend for home or small office set up.

Excellent network switch for a small local home network. I got it for my cameras and hub and its working without s fault for years now. I do recommend it. This is a managed switch and easy to access the GUI.

The product came well wrapped, easy instructions and simple set up. It is made of metal, so it should last in most areas and feels solid. Connections are solid as well as the indicator lights. its a very quiet unit and should power whatever you need i currently have 2 PoE cameras and a PoE doorbell connected. I have a lot of tp gear and it seems to hold up the test of time so I imagine this will be no different

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.

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.

The functions are great
