Bought a couple of these for networking multiple devices around the house, as it’s always best practice to hardwire as many connections as you can, even if you have great WiFi.
They are nice compact units. The metal housing is sturdy and should help with heat dissipation. They are easy to mount to a wall but also come with little rubber feet you can use.
The only downside is that you can’t tell the link speed of the connected devices so I had to individually test each port and cable with my laptop. By link speed I mean whether the connection is a 100Mbit or 1Gbit connection which can help identify dodgy cables.
Other than that, I would recommend it.

There are A LOT of 5 star reviews for something which has no scope to excel in. It is a network switch (a standardised term) for standardised (that TBASE we see around) 10/100 links with the ability to figure out the type of cable (apparently this used to be an issue, since the year 2000 it’s never been an issue anywhere)
It does this as well as any other switch.

The power connector is a little tough, I was worried I may break it by pushing harder and it JUST fits into the inset on the side, which is why I was reluctant.
The activity LEDs are somewhat dim/small and flicker really fast. Home users will tuck this away somewhere and in a dark room may find the slight light (in a dark room dim sources somehow do this I find!) slightly annoying. They’re really close to the connections so tape would be hard to apply.
This is a bit unfair though, activity lights have legit uses (letting you know stuff is working, is connected and such, you’ll have a hard…

Bought this for a friend as he recently bought a PS3 to go with his PS4 – he only bought a PS3 again for the Mass Effect Trilogy and was planning to buy a Cat5 splitter, but I told him they were useless and even worse for gaming so suggested he buy a network switch.
For just £7, it’s an absolute bargain and is the usual excellent quality you’d expect from TP-Link – the unit we received is Version 15 and barely bigger than my Huawei phone. Included with the switch is a small power supply which is about half the size of the switch, a manual and a warranty booklet. The actual box and inner packaging are both cardboard which means they are easily recyclable.
It’s worth noting that no network cables are included, so bear this in mind when buying. I had some spare Cat5 cables anyway so it was a case of connecting the main network cable to port #1 and then his PS3 to #2 and PS4 to #3. You don’t have to put the main input feed into #1, any port will do but for ease of use, I always connect…

As the new Sky hub only has 2 Ethernet connections in it I needed more so I could connect Hive and hard wire our tv to the internet to get better connectivity. This has worked really well – an awesome, easy and cheap solution.

I was becoming more and more frustrated by the mini humans who populate my house disconnecting my Apple TV in order to connect up games systems. Having this has made this a thing of the past, and I’m sure has prolonged the ‘life’ of the ports in the long run. I’m no expert, but I think that as this a result of streaming films directly via a LAN connection into the TP-LINK, I’m not seeing the buffering issues I saw when I used wifi. Probably stating the obvious!
