Review: A very capable little 24-port switch - These switches fit the bill perfectly: unmanaged, no fan, lots of ports, 2 Gbps per port. Also, although there are no photos or text to suggest this on the product page, they do come with an excellent pair of rack ears powder coated to match the slate gray of the switch itself. I bought two of these to replace several 5-port Netgear switches I had scattered around the house, often daisy-chained. I've been having issues with my network, some of which have been cleared up by these switches; mainly not obtaining proper IP addresses, or machines connected to them not obtaining proper IP addresses. This TP-Link switch is incredibly fast and I've never had IP issues with them to date. After you turn them on, they only take a second or two to initialize and obtain an IP address; in other words, almost instantly. I've never seen a switch come online that quickly before. The Netgears often would take 30 seconds or more, and sometimes even then, as I mentioned, would fail to connect properly to the router if I turned them on too soon. This TP-Link switch doesn't seem to have any of those issues. You can power it on or off any time you like relative to your router; as soon as a link is available, it will connect. It works like a switch should, meaning hassle-free; you turn it on and it switches packets. Something else I noticed, which I've also noticed when upgrading other network equipment like my wifi router, is that it makes everything on the network snappier. I'm talking about LAN, of course. For WAN, obviously it isn't going to speed up your Internet connection; but you will notice less latency, resulting in faster loading web pages, and shorter times for connecting to a VPN server, or any other WAN activity that requires establishing a connection. Just as your CPU will affect web-speeds, so will the equipment you use on your internal LAN. Everything from switches to the NIC, CPU, RAM and drive on your computer, to your router to your modem will affect your 'Internet' speed. None of this, again, will improve the speed of your Internet service; but the better your equipment in each of these categories, the snappier things will connect, cache, load, route, switch, et cetera. It all adds up - or subtracts if you have poor equipment. I purchased two; one is in my garage server cabinet and feeds the house from the main router; the other is in my home office and disseminates connections to the various computers and devices in the office. My old Netgear switches were always full; now I have more ports than I will probably ever need for expansion. These offer a big improvement over the small 5-port switches given the 2 Gbps dedicated to each port. I can do Steam in-home streaming from my home office PC to the livingroom while my wife streams videos from the wifi router and neither will affect the other; as they shouldn't, since one is a WAN activity and the other is a LAN-only activity. However, in the past, the smaller switches acted as a bottle-neck in the LAN, with the result that heavy LAN use could affect WAN use and visa versa. If you have these issues, this switch will probably clear them up for you. I also opened these switches up to look inside. I'm no electrical engineer, but they appear to be quite well built: clean traces, good quality capacitors, solid components overall and well laid-out. They also didn't over-engineer the case: just a handful of screws to open it up. The case is well-ventilated and solid. The powder-coating is well done and the color is quite attractive. I know this is a minor detail, but I really like the LEDs on the front as well: they are small, rectangular and quite bright, and organized into both 10/100 and Gigabit categories so you can differentiate traffic quite easily at a glance.
Review: Works fantastic and flexible - This was purchased to link poe cameras and to run ethernet in the house with a converted garage into a mfg area for our products. Their is also a home office with 2 workstations doing video for our business posted on our website and youtube. Lots of data going through this when u consider 4k video theater room with 4 ports running in that room and 4 ports to the MB. Those are to tie in the apple 4k tvs fire tvs and directv with the actual smart tvs maybe overkill but the more hardwired the better. I get the internet to this via a tp link dual wan router running cable internet and currently using Starlink as the back up i had uverse but was slow and wanted the satellite backup since its the future. This baby works the whole system has lots of redundancy since plugged into this switch is the tplink wifi 6 wireless router and far out back 1 repeater. I can live with low cost cable internet package because of the redundancy and load balancing so 200mbps and Starlink is running around 125 mbps nothing buffers ever and we get 1gb transfer on direct file and media server. All for under 80$ For this device the dual band one was 60 and the wifi was 80$ i think crazy value my cable just doubled the download for same price 40$ So total 600 mpbs internet with my solar and battery back up even in a storm my business is up and everyone is online. Starlink is 99$ but i just love not being tied into telecom company rn if that comcast goes up i can just cancel it

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Literally plug-n-play. No fan noise. Great piece of equipment!
*by D***T on August 10, 2019*

I liked this switch so well, I purchased two of them. I upgraded from an old 100mb switch. Immediately, all my devices that support 1GB transfer rate came on line at the higher speed. There is an indicator light for each port to let you know what speed the switch detected. So, the older 100mb devices run fine. My old switches had cooling fans. This unit is silent. No noise at all. The case is cool to the touch with no indication of heat. TP-Link is a great product. The packaging was the best it could be. A box within a box. And even though USPS was a bit rough with the box, it came through unscathed. The inside box was not damaged. The delivery time was as promised. An excellent transaction from start to finish.
