TP-Link LS1008G 8-Port Gigabit Network Switch, Ethernet Splitter

I needed some extra ports to expand my router and this is just the ticket. It offers plenty of extra space and it worked first time, without any "setting up" or messing about. All I had to do was unplug cables from the router, plug them into this switch, switch everything on and watch it all light up. Great expansion unit for the router - and I still have a few spare ports for further devices as and when the system grows. None of the broadband speed has been lost, and my desktop still operates at top whack. The price was great (compared with other sources I have seen online). All in all, a good purchase.

Like: * inexpensive 8 port gigabit switch *10gb switching capacity * very slim! * lightweight * super compact power supply Dislike: * so light it does seem to move about quite easily, but like most small TP link switches ive had in the past, they are reliable and robust, regardless of material. Im using this to run virtual machines from an SSD on another machine and the speed is actually a lot better than i was expecting. Despite the warnings from VMWare, it runs just as well if not very similar to a VM stored on a local spinning drive.

Brilliant desktop splitter , great price

Runs amazingly, looks good and has incredible signal strength. The setup was just plugging in the device and plugging in the inbound ethernet cable and the outbound cable, the box isnt too bright to be noticeable but reflects light due to its design. 4 stars because of the lack of a normal power option (USB C), it requires a barrel jack to setup.

I bought this as an upgrade from an old 100Mb switch after moving to super duper high speed internet. It is used simply to provide more ethernet ports for gadgets near the router, i.e TV, NAS, Xbox, Nvidia Shield, etc rather than using WiFi. It is sturdy, lightweight and has excellent build quality. It is plug and play so simply connect one port to your router and the rest to your "gadgets" and it just works. In terms of value for money it is excellent.

Was forced into buying this as the TP-link DECO mesh devices require a communication channel on hardwire to deal with backhaul communications, that exist on only a few switches at moment but all TP links seem to do now. Took <30 sec from box arriving to me having it plugged in and working. Took more time for the deco mesh system to realise it now had a backhaul although I think the technical term is handshaking. 5min after plug in all was working as expected and now have a gig backbone on the mesh rather than the mesh having to use the WiFi itself to create backbone. Had it now for over 2 months and not a issue with it at all even though one day the room it’s in got to roughly 46c in temp it still worked flawlessly. Honestly though it might melt it hot so hot in that room!

Compact and fast. Ideal for home or office networks. Plug-and-play simplicity at its best.

Solid 10/10 mo fales at all and easy to use and 1Gb uploaded and downloaded light. No preambles at all tplink as good as always

Value for money
