TP-Link TL-SG1005D Gigabit Desktop Unmanaged Switch - 5x 10/100/1000 PortsItem#: T141-1040  |  Model#: TL-SG1005D

TP-Link Switch

I have always found TP LINK equipment very reasonable and trouble free. You can use any port as a up link, therefore technically it is a 4 port switch, not 5. I consider a 5 port switch to be 5 spare ports and one for the up link.I would have liked it to have a 1G indicator light on the switch but your lan network card will light will be green with a 100M and amber for a 1G signal. This switched worked fine for $20.

This thing rocks out!!

The transfer speed if F'ing phenomenal. Local file transfer is so fast I sometimes am done grabbing a file off my server before my workstation is finished booting uo. But seriously if you don't have gig connections it makes using your home network feel like work.

Good switch

Using to connect my lan which has a couple servers and several computers including a raspberry pi running xbmc and streaming from a samba share, as well as an internet connected TV running wired to the switch. The Gig speeds are nice for the wife who does a lot of work on files located on the Samba share. I gave it a 3 for Features because although its an unmanaged switch so there really aren't many features, most unmanaged switches at least have a different color link light for the interfaces to indicate whether its connected at 100 or 1000Mb. This one just has a single color link light so you need to check the Interface on the connected machine to ensure it has negotiated to 1000 Mb.

I did not know what I did not KNOW !!!!!

I thought that gigabit was over kill on an internet that could not take advantage of it. I thought that file transfer for residential OS versions just sucked any way and could not take advantage of the gigness. I am CORRECTED I say CORRECTED !!!Giga wholly schmolly zippity bing bang boom chak alaka !!!!1 (Ahem) Very nice to see an increase of speed in all areas.

Works good

Plug it in and it works.

Good Stuff!

I bought this to connect all my Internet capable devices in my Entertainment stand. Works perfectly and you can beat the price. :)

Excellent Product

Great product for extending our house network. Easy to setup, just plugged it in and it was ready to go. Does exactly what it said it does and what we needed it to do.

Exactly want I wanted

Needed an inexpensive switch to add a printer to my home network. It does just I wanted it to do and for very good price.

Can't beat it!

I picked this switch box up as an extension to my network, for my entertainment system. It works flawlessly, doesn't seem to have any lag. Great product for the cost!

No link speed lights?

The first thing I noticed when I plugged things in is that there's no way to tell at what speed things are working. I have another vendor's switch & if something is connected at 100Mbps the LED is amber, if it's connected at 1Gbps the LED is green. That way it's clear what the link speed is. This does not have that. I can see that things are connected, I just have no idea of the speed they're connected at without looking in the OS & checking the NIC settings. The wall wart cable should be longer & the cable comes out of the side, so it can't be plugged in to some outlets & it takes up the outlet next to it unless it's plugged into the outlet on the far right end. It's a basic switch. It seems to work fine so far.
