Plenty of ports for running my home wired network. Plug and play.
Needed this to hook up a Magic Jack and Phone Heart Monitor to internet without a router.
I work in information technology, and sometimes configure larger managed switches. When I read the specifications for this switch and then the price, I don't think I've ever impulse bought a network device faster, and I don't regret it. It does everything it says it does in the manual, is inexpensive, fanless, and has a great, sturdy iron case with notches for wall mounting using the included screws and wall anchors. Apart from the very solid build quality an iron case imparts, the extra weight is incredibly helpful to keep the device firmly planted where you put it when you have Ethernet cables hanging from all of the ports.
Nice simple switch. Plug and play. Couldnt be easier.
The switch seems to be well constructed, with a good fit and finish. It's on the heavy side, when compared to my 5 port 1Gb Belkin and Netgear switches, though those switches have plastic casing and this one is metal. I did several file transfers of various sizes, from 3Mb to 100Gb, using each of the switches and they all performed similarly. Each port of the TP-Link was tested, and each performed comparably to the others.
Simple to use and small so it's easy to hide.
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.
No software setup - no software configuration required - plug and play.
Well built metal case. Easy to manage Switch with the software provided. value for the money
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.
* 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

It works as expected. No configuration needed, just plug stuff in and go. 8 outputs is better than 4
