no need driver installation, my W10 pro auto identify it after plug into USB 3.0 port.

I'll be comparing this product to a Netgear GS108 switch as that is what I currently use. The build of this unit is nearly identical to my Netgear switch. This device is more gray than Netgear’s blue and lacks the branding on the top that the Netgear series displays. Beyond those minor aesthetics, they are hard to tell apart; even TP-Link's model numbers are suspiciously similar to those of Netgear. Both use sturdy, compact, utilitarian metal designs. It may not fit the bill for a family home living room, but being a business class product this will feel right at home in a server closet or networking rack of a small business. Everything about this product is simple. The box is a tiny cube, barely big enough to hold the tiny switch, slim power adapter and user guide with the mass equivalent of a business card. While all that might normally be a con for most products, I actually prefer it in this instance. This is a business class device which gets straight to business and wastes no time on unnecessary flare and packaging. The device itself, just like the box it comes in, is small and only consists of 90 degree angles. There's no bubbly plastic shell here, in fact there's hardly any plastic at all. It implements an all metal design which speaks quality and durability. The switch comes with four stick-on rubber feet in a separate plastic bag. This is a thoughtful way of ensuring they don't need to be pulled off by those who don't want to use them. This unit uses indicator lights built into the ports just like similar Netgear models. While some might not like the lights and ports being on the same side, I'm a fan of this approach as it's very easy to see which cables are doing what and at what speed they are doing it. Blinking lights indicate activity; yellow lights indicate 10/100Mbps connections and green lights are 1000Mbps. Very simple and very effective. I performed throughput tests using 4 wired devices. A 5GB HD video file was transferred between two devices and an identical 5GB file between the other two. The four storage devices involved are a 250GB Samsung 840 PRO SSD, a set of 4 500GB WD V-Raptors in RAID 0, a set of 4 2TB WD Green drives in RAID 10, and 4 WD 1TB Black drives in RAID 10. Each of these disk configurations can read and write reliably over 200MB/s. A 1000mbps wired connection has a theoretical transfer speed of 125MB/s so none of these drives can be considered a bottleneck for this test. I started both transfers at the same time and both presented nearly identical results. The minimum transfer rate recorded was 92MB/s, with a maximum of 118MB/s. Both transfers completed within 3 seconds of each other at roughly 45 seconds.

great product, works as advertised Easy install

It's really fast when configured right. Use the same SSID, and password for 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz on your router, and it just flies.

Easy to set up. No driver needed. Great

Setup is very quick and easy Covers the whole house Port on device able to get pc without WiFi6 card able to get great speeds on third floor of our house

Really gives a massive boost! Easy to install.

built tough clear LEDs, gigabit(although I only pay for 100 Mbps), Plug and play, Lifetime Warranty, next business day replacement so they say, 8 ports, wall mountable, On/off switch

Metal housing, nice power supply, seems well made, works perfectly for my Media Center and internet needs.
