This is a great gigbit network switch. I have two of the 5 port models as well and they have been up and running without flaw for 2 years now. I like the ability to be able to log into the switch interface and set certain controls such as VLAN, QOS, bandwidth limits and port priority, and the network cabling check feature is also nice. The metal housing of the switch is very sturdy and also serves to dissipate any heat the device produces. A well built and well designed product. I would certainly buy again.

Exactly as advertised. It has plenty of ports, it's made of metal, dead easy to set up (just plug in your network cable from your router and network cables from your other devices) and it's a great value at the price for extending the number of ethernet ports in your house.

Great for what I'm using it for. We have an upstairs office and the main router is downstairs. So we are running our ethernet to our computers/other devices through a single ethernet cable ran from our WiFi extender. We both get speeds around 500 Mbps using CAT6. Can't complain. Great deal!

Great, inexpensive managed switch. It was only a few bucks more than the unmanaged version I bought on Amazon and this one works way better.

The TP link is a nice switch. It runs all ports with no speed degradation for home usage. This connects into a Linksys router with no problem. I don't see significant heat problems.

Very useful when you own a company or ran out of space in your router. You can plug this one and you would have more space for new devices to connect the wifi or regular data

I've had this switch now for a couple of months. It works great and has allowed me to attach my server to my network. So far no problems.
