Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

Pros

Tp-link is a good brand for networking devices as i have a 16-port still online. Decent price on these unmanaged 16 port switches on my modem/router from eero. A gigabit multi-home router manages both connections and assures continuous service.

It seems at least subjectively a bit faster than other switches on my 1 gb home network. Somewhat surprisingly my old 1 gig devices seem to have faster throughput as well.

Four rubber feet with 3m adhesive are included. Remember that to utilize the full 2. G mesh, you need to have 4 rubber feet.

Gbe out of the box, which is expected since there is some overhead. Gb switches seem all over the map right now, possibly because the higher speed rating is relatively new.

G natively. G nics. G internet connection. G unmanaged switch. G as does my nas. G infrastructure, but won't be my last.

Cons

Woke up to no internet on both. Worked great, until a whole day power outage 5 mo later. In just under 10 months the unit is non-functional.

This is the first ethernet switch that loses connectivity between a week tops down to a few minutes. The switch costed me $6/month when you calculate it over the 560 days it served me. Also already rma'd an 8 port 2.

Ping' command to the printer fails every time, no matter which switch port i use. Intel proset tool thinks the cable integrity and quality are bad when any pc is connected to this switch. Have no idea why tp-link doesn't release a new firmware update ... Read More

Quality

Solid build and straight forward setup (like no setup).

Easy to setup and works great with all my gaming consoles and pc

Thanks to m4gr4th34 for the recommendation to change the cooler to a better quality noctua, now the switch is really inaudible,... Read More

Price

The speed is essential, and number of ports for the price.

I am so shocked, at this price, these fans are ridiculous!

This had a good sale on the big sale day so i was eager to get it.

It was on sale for black friday week.

Shipping

I sent a message to support and they are sending me a replacement at no cost.

Packaging/appearance

I had seen reviews the box gets hot.

Competitiveness

Collisions are managed well and overall throughput of this switch is comparable with competitor brands.

I have used similar desktop switches and this switch provides solid speeds, in a compact form factor.

This switch couldn’t have arrived at a better time since my old current (different brand) switch was having intermittent connection issues.

Yes it may cost a little more than some of the random chinese brands on amazon (ie “nicgiga”) but the cost in the long run is i... Read More
