Great product! Worked as advertised! Delivered as committed! Will come back here again!

Fits right in the PCIE Slot can confirm it does do the multi gig internet that it advertises very much worth the buy

Power supply has sideways orientation which helps it to not block other outlets. The thick metal case is very sturdy. It feels industrial. It would be a good choice for a rough environment like an auto shop. The added strength doesn't add to the size. I have three 8 port switches, two are plastic, and this one is the middle size. The ethernet port location on the opposite side of the power port is a nice feature. It would work well at a workstation where people need to plug in frequently and don't need to hide the cables. It has two LEDs for the connection status, one for 10/100 speed and the other for 1000 speed. Not all switches have two LEDs like this. I really appreciate knowing the connection speed. I tested a single 10GB file transfer on this switch against one of my other gigabit switches. This one was 3 seconds faster, taking 1 minute 33 seconds. I tested a transfer of 8012 files which totalled 10GB against one of my other switches. This one was a whopping 27 seconds faster, at 3 minutes 00 seconds.

Used to be you’d have to spend a few hundred bucks for a managed 8 port gigabit switch. Do you need a managed switch? At this price, why not get one. I think most home users probably don’t need a managed switch, so you can use it as a dumb switch, hook it up, don’t do any setup, and don’t worry about it until you find yourself needing the extra capabilities. What can you do with a managed switch? Plenty. -- See Other Thoughts. TP-Link has several marketing terms for its 8-Port managed switches. “Easy Smart Switch” is this model. “Smart Switch” is the next level up model – the TL-SG2008 – at about twice the price. Moving up from there are the professional “Jetstream” L2 and the scalable “Jetsream” L3 models which have features like SFP slots to attach things like fiber interface modules. The main difference between the SG108E and the SG2008 is that management of this model switch is done through a Windows utility running on a Windows computer attached to the network. The SG2008 is managed via a browser based utility running on the switch and has a few more configurable features. The SG2008 also has a 4MB buffer vs. 2MB for the SG108E. They both have the same switching capacity (16 Gbps), forwarding rate (11Mpps), and Mac address capacity (8K). I think the SG108E is easier to configure. This switch is small, solid, has a metal case, and does not require a fan. There is an external power supply. Inside the metal enclosure I found a Realtek RTL8370N Layer 2 Managed 10/100/1000 Switch controller with a heat sink and 1MB attached Flash memory. Included in the retail box are also a quick set-up sheet and a Mini CD that contains a detailed 40 page pdf manual and the Configuration utility installer. The configuration utility is organized into System, Switching, Monitoring, VLAN, and QoS sections. The switch supports up to 32 port-based and tagged VLANs. It has a loop prevention feature. It supports port and 802.1p based QoS with 4 priority settings. You can do in/out bandwidth control per port. You can specify a storm control limit and apply it to one or more ports. Static LAG groups are supported. There is automatic power saving that can shut down idle ports and adjust power depending on cable lengths. Port Mirroring is supported on one port at a time. Packet counts can be monitored by interface.

Simple setup. Great speeds. Fast delivery.

It worksit's small

Easy setup, configuration and clean looking.

Plug n play, no need for drivers, win 7 picked it right up. decent price

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