Pros & Cons
Pros
Great way to get multiple lan supply from 1 cable from the router. Using this to give n/w connection to sky box and smart tv from 1 n/w point. Great little hub, we use its as we have the router on one side of the room where tv and xbox is an on the ot... Read More
These fit the job pervert. One little downfall is that it is lightweight.
Cons
Direct connection 25mbps, via the switch only 9mbps so useless for streaming 4k. Re-booting solves the issue temporarily but then connection drops happen and it's back to 100mb again. Though my ethernet cables are cat 8, overkill for the gigabit ether... Read More
Cheap rubbish. I pave had 4 to link network products and they’ve all failed within a year. After 20 years in networking i cannot believe what i am reading, these products are utter rubbish.
Highlights
Quality

It’s got a very light plastic covering and super quiet.
After plugging in this tp-link 5-port switch, my internet finally stopped ghosting me!
Price
Less than £10 when bought and does the job perfectly.
Great simple product from a reputable brand at a great price
For the money, this does the job completely adequately.
However, for the price, it’s an effective, affordable choice for anyone needing a basic, reliable network switch.
Shipping
Was slow on dispatch, arrived a week after placing order.
Packaging/appearance
Despite the dimensions being clearly listed on the page i was (positively) surprised at how small the box was!
A tiny little box that neatly sits on my table.
Arrived well packages the cables had no excess flash and were neatly coiled.

When i first connected up i was disappointed only to be getting 100mbs and one of the reviews i later read seems to imply this but it is wrong
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
I changed one of the cables and all was good at 1000mbps so just in case it helps anyone with a similar problem try a different cable
