Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

Bought to replace an 8-port switch for my home's main network concentration point after outgrowing the old one. Then plug everything into the switch. Wired the whole office. And it powers some really long cat6 runs, upto 50 feet of wire.

Cons

Tp-link warranty says it covers the device until 3020. First and last tp-link device, replacing with a netgear. The two ports work fine, so long as they remain as individual ports (ethernet 1 and 2), but i get zero connectivity if i attempt to bond th... Read More

Packaging/appearance
