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.

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). U hebt nu de keuze om voor groen te gaan bij het upgraden naar een gigabit netwerk! De nieuwe generatie van de TL-SG108 10/100/1000 Mbps desktop switch met 5 aansluitingen is uitgerust met de allernieuwste energiezuinige technieken, die uw netwerkcapaciteit vergroten en het stroomverbruik aanzienlijk reduceren. Het energieverbruik wordt automatisch aangepast aan de verbindingsstatus en kabellengte, om de CO2-voetafdruk van uw netwerk te beperken. Then I have 3x cameras connected to the TL-SG108 Switch. So, so far, 4x connections. 1 from the router, 3x from cameras. Bevor ich mit meiner Leidensgeschichte bezüglich dieses Switches anfange, zuerst mal die positiven Dinge: I bought this to replace a 3M 1Gbps 16 port switch that died after more than 10 years of use. I wanted to get a managed switch that I hoped would also give me device ideas to which port it was hooked up to.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. 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.

Als een computer of netwerkapparaat uit staat, blijft de bijbehorende aansluiting van een traditionele switch aanzienlijke hoeveelheden stroom verbruiken De TL-SG108 kan de verbindingsstatus van elke aansluiting controleren en het stroomverbruik van aansluitingen die niet actief zijn verlagen, waardoor tot 72% minder stroom wordt verbruikt. While the switch won't identify devices, all other options in the manage software work great, with some extras I wasn't expecting.Reliable and Quiet IEEE 802.3X flow control provides reliable data transfer and Fanless design ensures quiet operation Gigabit that Saves Energy Latest innovative energy-efficient technology greatly expands your network capacity with much less power consumption and helps save money, Dimensions ( W x D x H ) - 6.2 x 4.0 x 1.0 in.
