TP-Link TL-SG105-M2 | 5 Port Multi-Gigabit Unmanaged Network Switch, Ethernet Splitter | 2.5G Bandwidth | Plug & Play | Desktop/Wall-Mount | Fanless Metal Design | Limited Lifetime Protection

Product Information

To be clear I did nothing with the provided software to be able to hook up the box and use it. I did need to open

Upgraded my home Internet to 2 gigabit fiber, and home fileserver with SSD storage, so I bought the TP-Link 8-port TL-SG108-M2 and 5-port TL-SG105-M2 to upgrade my home network to multi-gigabit speed. It was easy to swap my old gigabit switches with these TP-Link 2.5 giggers, using my existing ethernet cables. When it comes to 8-port network switches for the home or small office network, it’s hard to beat the TP-Link TL-SG108. It’s compact, has a fanless metal enclosure, plus dimmer-and-less-distracting LEDs than some of its competitors (Don’t worry; there are still two per port, each informative based on color and/or blinking pattern). The TL-SG108 also features traffic-prioritizing QoS, full duplex flow control, auto-negotiating ports for choosing transfer speed up to a gigabit, and simple, plug-and-play setup. This best network switch performed at rough parity with other 8-port switches we tested and ran cool.Number of Ports: You can get anywhere from four all the way up to 48 or more Ethernet ports. Some also have USB ports. This switch was made for the home office, or small business, but I decided to use it for a home network because not a web-based graphical interface (GUI) but a software interface on this particular model (TL-SG108E). The I looked at the Configuration Utility software, after installation, to see what information would be available. This is Maximale draadloze signaalfrequentie op basis van specificaties van de IEEE 802.11-standaard. De vermelde draadloze snelheden zijn de maximale theoretische gegevenssnelheden. De werkelijke draadloze gegevensdoorvoer en het draadloos bereik kunnen niet gegarandeerd worden en variëren op basis van 1) omgevingsfactoren, met inbegrip van bouwmaterialen, fysieke objecten en obstakels, 2) netwerkomstandigheden, met inbegrip van lokale interferentie, omvang en dichtheid van het verkeer, locatie van het product, complexiteit van het netwerk en overhead, en 3) clientbeperkingen, met inbegrip van nominaal vermogen, locatie, verbinding, kwaliteit en toestand van de client.

Tested throughput extensively using iperf3 on the local network, and speedtest.net for Internet speed. Ethernet Cables: My rooms have Jadaol flat Cat-6 cables that range in length from 1-foot to 25-feet, all worked with 2.5 gigabit. My home had professionally-installed Cat-6 in-wall cabling, with some cable lengths up to 40 feet long, all worked with 2.5 gigabit.

Klaar voor een directe netwerkupgrade naar 2.5G?

Stars for TP-Link Easy Smart switch’s plug and play set-up, ease of use by its intended user-gamers, sturdy

Managed or Unmanaged: If you just need to get wired internet access to a few devices, then you’ll want an unmanaged network switch, which we recommend for most users. This doesn’t mean the switch has no features -- unmanaged switches can often do plenty of fancy things, from traffic prioritizing QoS to loop detection.

In between 8-and-16-port switches, you have some funky units like this ZyXel XGS1010-12. It’s billed on the box as a desktop switch with 8 gigabit ports and four bonus ports in the form of two 2.5 GbE and two 10 GbE SFT+ uplink ports. The latter fiber Internet customers would recognize as the data port on a fiber ONT (Optical Network Terminator -- think of it like a Fiber modem for customers without last-mile copper). The one notable omission from this network switch is loop detection, which prevents your network being slowed to a crawl or disabled entirely by looped network traffic. This can be a very important troubleshooting tool in a complicated network, with visual indicators on a switch that tell you which Ethernet ports to investigate for issues. in the next room. (The entire length from the router to the switch should be less than 328 feet). That's one port or Yellow) and activity indicators for each port. The box sits just under the edge of my TV set for easy access. It Along with its 8-port sibling - the TL-SG108-M2 - the TL-SG105-M2 is low-profile, easy to set up, and features a fanless design and metal enclosure that will keep it as quiet as it is fast. And because it’s a 2.5 GbE switch, you might not need to buy new cabling; as long as you’re already using Cat 5e cabling in your network, you’re good to take advantage of the 802.3bz network protocol, which promises 2.5 GbE or 5 GbE connections over 100 meters of cable. In testing, this bore out, with super fast file transfers that didn’t even blink when we loaded the network down with as much traffic as we could muster. The switch ran a little warm though, topping out at about 115 degrees Fahrenheit.

and I have heard of no problems so far. Well, except for a tangle of Ethernet cables. Watch your step in the living Schattingen voor video-overdracht zijn gebaseerd op de maximale benodigde tijd van apparaten om op de mogelijke maximale capaciteit te presteren. De werkelijke overdrachtstijd kan niet worden gegarandeerd en kan variëren op basis van omgevingsfactoren, netwerkomstandigheden en beperkingen van de client. The switch did well in testing, putting up numbers slightly better than the QNAP on its 2.5 Gb ports, while its gigabit ports performed very well. Under heavy traffic, we saw no performance loss, which is to be expected given its total bandwidth of 66 Gbps. The ZyXel was the second-hottest of the switches tested, peaking at 100 degrees Fahrenheit under load - which is definitely going to be warm to the touch, but not concerningly so. Just make sure the box has a bit of ventilation. InvalidError said:2.5GbE and 5GbE were created because most people and companies with in-wall/ceiling wiring don't want to replace wiring for 10GBase-T. When you set up the switch box you use one of the 8 ports to take the Ethernet cable from the router and useConversely, a good wired connection can cut out these and other shortcomings of an over-the-air signal, while providing faster speeds and a reliable, stable connection. But with most mainstream routers only offering just four Ethernet ports -- or sometimes fewer -- the best network switches step in to fill the gap, giving you more ports to plug your wired devices into. Not only that, they can also spread out some of the load on your network, freeing your router up to carry out its primary mission of getting internet service to all the wireless devices on your network that need it.
