Cool, fast, well built

Does whats is says

easy to setup and use!

This little box is awesome and at a price I like a lot!

Small Physical Signature: This switch is small so doesn't take up much space. Plug and Play: Speed test done right after installed and it does a great job.

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.

. - Fast - Plug N Play - Works as advertised

TP-Link makes great networking products that often cost a fraction of the bigger names out there like Netgear, D-Link, and LinkSys, but I've found they're very competitive when it comes to functionality, features and reliability. Build quality can seem cheaper sometimes, but not in this case. +This unmanaged switch is well built. Made of metal and all the RJ-45 jacks are quality metal casings as well. +RJ-45 jacks have link lights on the back, cheaper switches will not have them and might just have a single LED indicator per port. More useful for diagnosing bad connections. +Full-Gigabit connectivity, not shared, so this has non-blocking architecture that can give up to a full Gigabit per port (ie. copy from port 1 to 2 and download to port 3 at same time). +Performs as an unmanaged switch should, just plug from your downstream source (router) and connect multiple devices or clients and everything autonegotiates. +Additional software and UI if you need to do anything more advanced, like set up static IPs, port forwarding, firewall, subnets etc. +Even though I've moved a lot of devices to wireless connections, I still find I have a lot of tethered devices, like consoles, extra desktop PCs, NAS units, powerline adapters etc. I never thought I would need a switch again, but there's just too many things to connect! +Uses very little power and runs extremely cool. Only ~5-8W under load with 5 ports occupied.

Works as advertised and had no issues with autonegotiating speeds on interfaces with Google Fiber's provided equipment (an issue I had read about in reviews for other boxes which I was concerned about). Get full speed.

Quality build - in a full metal case the build quality is excellent. Size - at just over 11 inches long and a height of just under 1 inch it can be mounted underneath or on the back of your computer desk. No wasted space - the case is only slightly larger than the area for ports. Easy to mount - a couple of screws to mount it

* 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

I keep spare routers ... that's what this is, it just has to work and I'm happy.
