TP-LINK TL-SG116 network switch Unmanaged L2 Gigabit Ethernet (10/100/1000) Black

Very satisfying, it was easy to install and deliver a great experience, highly recommend

I purchased this 16-port unmanaged switch to replace an assortment of smaller switches I was using in my home office. The price seemed reasonable for a brand-name 16 port 1GB switch. When it arrived, I connected all of my office devices to it with CAT6 cable and took it for a spin. All I can say is "wow." This switch is a great example of plug-and-play. I powered it on, connected my ISP cable into port one and then plugged in all of the cables from my desktop computers, printers, scanner and notebook computer, plus the home wireless router. Everything worked flawlessly. I used the browser on my desktop to run a download/upload speed test and the switch was definitely delivering the 1GB advertised throughput. The switch has to be plugged into a power outlet but there is no fan inside. I have not noticed it heating up at all and I appreciate the absence of yet another fan whirring faintly in the background. The unit is a little over 11 inches wide, so before you order one, make sure you have enough space for it in your workplace. It can also be mounted on the wall. As a final test, I plugged enough equipment into the switch to use up 15 of the 16 ports. I wanted to see if there would be any traffic collision issues. Success. Performance didn't appear to be degraded on any of the devices connected to it. I am more than pleased with this purchase. My home office network runs much faster than it did with my older switches. The large number of ports on this new switch allowed me to reduce some of the cable clutter around my workspace. The quality of the metal case is excellent. It's a good day when you can purchase a network computing device that comes out of the box, plugs in and just plain works. I highly recommend this product if you're running out of ports on a 4 or 8-port switch. If you are standing up a wired home network for the first time, spend a few extra dollars for this switch if you have four or five devices to connect. That will leave a lot of unused ports on your switch but you won't have to worry about buying another switch if you expand your network in the future.

Todo en orden, llevo dos meses usándolo y funciona excelente.

I replaced a 24 port managed Cisco 100 MB switch with this 16 port unmanaged switch and I'm happy. I debated buying the managed 16 port version, but it sounded like it came with some flaws/issues. I ended up thinking about my situation and how much time I have and decided to just skip the managed part. Regardless, my transfer speeds across the home network are faster and ultimately, that's what I cared about most. Speeds are true gigabit. It's been up and running for almost a month and no issues yet. I don't hear any AC adapter whine like some people mentioned and if I do, I'll just install one I have lying around that matches the same spec as the one it came with. This box sits in my basement anyways. Don't have to look at the lights, care about which side the power plug is on and other things that some of the negative reviews mention. The only thing I suggest is to label your cables so that if you ever do have to troubleshoot something, it's quicker to determine which cable leads to specific devices in your house.

Works great, nice price
