Works as advertized and great price.

i like that if one of my pcs is asleep, the switchport led goes orange. when the pc wakes, green gigabit led activates. feels solid, no complaints.

We got TMobile 5g Home Internet to save money without realizing that we would be unable to manage our router"gateway". So going with unmanaged switches was the obvious choice. Why Netgear? Build quality. There are lower priced options, but we have crazy pets and crazier owners living here so it was sturdy metal case for the win.

- Metal housing is good - Didn't benchmark the speed, but it appears to be fine.

-Price -Small profile -Plug and play -Delivers rated speed of 2.5Gb -Silent operation

UniFi compatible and suited to the kinds of awful environmental conditions the old Ubiquiti Tough Switch Pro was perfect for. Being managed by UniFi rather than UISP simplifies the network, so it's GREAT to have this niche filled. Surprisingly useful to have more ports, didn't know we needed them until we had the option.

At first glance, the TL-SG108E simply looks like your average run of the mill 8-port mini-switch. The price is cheap, it’s relatively small, and nothing fancy to look at. Basically, it’s the type of switch you think you’ve found in small offices, schools, and of course, some home networks everywhere. A second look reveals it’s so much more than those mundane simplistic dumb switches. With the addition of a few configurable options, you’re given the power to customize your network, allowing for far more control than an unmanaged switch, and it won’t set you back that much more. Designed with practicality in mind; It’s a metal case, not cheap plastic. This may not seem like a big deal, but rest assured, it definitely is. If you’ve seen how people install their network equipment as I have, metal is by far a better choice than a plastic housing, for the single reason of durability. I’m actually surprised that a few mini switches I’ve come across were still functioning when considering how and where they were installed (On the floor, right under desk chairs, where they simply had to kicked around and/or stepped on numerous times a day! While I wouldn’t think of throwing my networking gear on the floor in the path of foot traffic, for some reason many people don’t give it a second thought, or it gets moved by clients after installation. The included Configuration Utility (a necessary program as the switch does not have a configuration webpage, which definitely would have been a better option than having to install software on whichever PC you want to use to make changes), makes setting up and maintaining your switch a breeze. Easy GUI menu driven interface, takes the complication out of customization. There’s even a monitoring page for a quick look to verify connection speeds and even packet loss on any and all ports. Setup your Vlans, QoS, check system info, upgrade firmware, backup configuations, reset and reboot with the click of a button. 8 ports, 7 of which are available for your devices considering most people will use one port for a network uplink. About $5 a port. Not too bad. And for that you can set bandwidth limits…you don’t want someone monopolizing your network? Set limits on those ports with rate limits. Want to make sure voice takes precedence over videos? Set up Based Priority QoS. It’s simple, it’s easy, it’s customization that you’ll have available when you need it. Vlans couldn’t be easier to setup with this switch’s configuration utility, and if you haven’t a clue how to setup a couple Vlans, there’s a handy Help menu with a link directly to the device’s User’s manual on TP-Link’s website. Including updated Utility software and firmware downloads.

The switch has a very heavy and quality feel to it. POE+ works great with my cameras, and wireless access points.

* Nice compact form factor * Included power adapter option is nice * Even nicer is being able to power it off PoE - one less wire/plug socket to deal with * Integrates well with the UniFi Network app, showing what devices are connected to it
