Fast performance and PoE+/++ out of the box! Small footprint and overall a performance beast for my network




Does exactly what it is supposed to. Setup was as easy as any other networking card, except ten times the speed! We put one of these on our server, and on our video editing workstation. We have a Netgear 10gbe XS708E switch between them. They are all connected through shielded CAT7. In a realistic day-to-day use, it's usually around 300 to 500 MBps. In some specific scenarios (large ISO files, etc) it goes to over 700MBps. This easily maxes out the SSD on the workstation! We no longer have to copy video files locally at our studio, instead they can remain on the server. It was very easy to set up link aggregation. I managed a peak of roughly 1.8GBps transfers to the server in specific scenarios, like setting up a ramdrive, running ATTO, etc.


Lower cost than others of its kind. It's significantly smaller than I was expecting, and the heat sink covers every bit of usable space for exceptional cooling.

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.





I have been using this switches unmanaged cousin, the TP-Link TL-SG105 since July of 2013. It has functioned wonderfully extending my rather large wired home network. I can honestly say, this "Easy Smart" version makes a great addition to my network, right alongside it's cousin. Some of my opinions on this version directly mirror the other. The build quality is great with an all metal housing. Internal board is securely mounted, as are the RJ45 ports, they do not flex or give. Internal "processor" is cooled by a heatsink. It's also wall mountable, a huge plus in my book. All like it's unmanaged cousin. This is a great little switch. Same as before, I dropped it into my network and saw absolutely no performance loss what so ever, and my home network is often under heavy load, see "Other thoughts" for more details. Online gaming, LAN gaming, local game and VOIP servers, HD streaming with tools like Open Broadcaster and XSplit, and HD media such a Netflix and Hulu, none of it was hindered being behind this switch with 4 devices connected and running simultaneously. What makes this switch stand out is the fact it can be managed. The "Easy Smart Configuration Utility" is simple, intuitive, and lets you setup the switch to best fit your specific needs. - Manual or DHCP. - Individual port control, switching, and monitoring. (Monitoring includes link status, Tx / Rx good and back packets.) - Port Mirroring. - Cable Testing. - Loop Prevention. - IGMP Snooping. - Port Trunking - Virtual LAN. - Port QoS - Port Bandwidth Control. - Storm Control (Protects against broadcast, multicast, and unknown unicast storms) You can save and backup your configs for different situations as well, a feature I liked seeing. The TP-Link TL-SG105E really is a great switch. Easily integrating into most any network where more control is needed or desired than with an unmanaged switch.

Super easy setup. Plenty of POE ports.
