TP-Link 8-Port Gigabit Ethernet Switch, Desktop/Wall-Mount, Steel Case(TL-SG108)

Product Information

Then I have 3x cameras connected to the TL-SG108 Switch. So, so far, 4x connections. 1 from the router, 3x from cameras.

Reliable and Quiet IEEE 802.3X flow control provides reliable data transfer and Fanless design ensures quiet operation Gigabit that Saves Energy Latest innovative energy-efficient technology greatly expands your network capacity with much less power consumption and helps save money, Dimensions ( W x D x H ) - 6.2 x 4.0 x 1.0 in. (158 x 101 x 25 mm) Zero set up other than plugging in the power adapter into it and then the wall. Then just plug your ethernet cable from your router to it. Now... any ethernet devices plugged into the switch will show up on your router and, as such, your home network. I'd buy more. I WANT 2.5Gbps so I'm ready to a 2.5Gbps router, but really, I'll probably have 10Gbps Ethernet on my motherboard by then. While the switch won't identify devices, all other options in the manage software work great, with some extras I wasn't expecting.it is. Plus, it was way cheaper, anyways. I can't believe how cheap it is. It feels SOLID. Heavy for its size. That is ALWAYS a positive sign in the electronics world. Light electronics are cheaply made. This is not cheap. It doesn't even get warm to the touch. I have an 8 foot ( I think ) Cat8 (don't ask haha, family member had one) Ethernet cable going from my PC to router. That's port 1. Then I have port 2 going from my router to the TP-Link TL-SG108 8 Port Gigabit Switch. I bought it over the 5 port because... why not? The price was there to just go for the 8 port imo. Plus, I'm gonna fill it up eventually. Then I have the other two 1Gbps ports on my router going out to a camera.

Update: I've now added another Ethernet cable to this TL-SG108 and plugged it into my Samsung SmartTV. Again, zero issues. It's handling everything I throw at it. I'll stop here... because I'm pretty much saying "I love it" over and over. DEFINITELY recommend it or whichever model you need with the amount of ports you need. I'd recommend future-proofing and going with the 8-port over the 5 port since you will be down 1 port from the get go since you have to plug your router into it. The price is not much more and you don't want to regret not getting the 8 port over the 5 port.Als een computer of netwerkapparaat uit staat, blijft de bijbehorende aansluiting van een traditionele switch aanzienlijke hoeveelheden stroom verbruiken De TL-SG108 kan de verbindingsstatus van elke aansluiting controleren en het stroomverbruik van aansluitingen die niet actief zijn verlagen, waardoor tot 72% minder stroom wordt verbruikt. U hebt nu de keuze om voor groen te gaan bij het upgraden naar een gigabit netwerk! De nieuwe generatie van de TL-SG108 10/100/1000 Mbps desktop switch met 5 aansluitingen is uitgerust met de allernieuwste energiezuinige technieken, die uw netwerkcapaciteit vergroten en het stroomverbruik aanzienlijk reduceren. Het energieverbruik wordt automatisch aangepast aan de verbindingsstatus en kabellengte, om de CO2-voetafdruk van uw netwerk te beperken.

Operating Temperature: 0 degree Celsius -40 degree Celsius (32 degree Fahrenheit -104 degree Fahrenheit) I decided to change my wireless home camera set up to wired. Well, my router only has 4x 1Gbps LAN ports and I have my PC + 5 cameras at the moment. My motherboard has 2.5Gbps Ethernet, so I would have liked to have went with a 2.5Gbps switch, but then I'd also need a 2.5Gbps Ethernet router... so yeah..

Advanced Software Features Prioritize your traffic and guarantee high quality of video or voice data transmission with Port-based 802.1p/DSCP QoS and IGMP Snooping So, after having more and more neighbors move in nearby (ughhh), and knowing that I could see everything about their wireless networks, (I am a computer tech guy, I'm not naming software, but I can see who has Ring door bells, smart appliances, cameras and which routers they go to and which extenders are on that LAN). I bought this to replace a 3M 1Gbps 16 port switch that died after more than 10 years of use. I wanted to get a managed switch that I hoped would also give me device ideas to which port it was hooked up to. Bevor ich mit meiner Leidensgeschichte bezüglich dieses Switches anfange, zuerst mal die positiven Dinge:Dieser Switch ist für das was er kann (oder können will) sehr günstig. Produkte mit LAG (okay, in der offiziellen Dokumentation findet man leider aktuell nichts dazu, um welchen LAG-Typ es sich konkret handelt und es gibt auch keine weiteren Einstellungen dazu) und VLAN in dieser Preisklasse sind nicht einfach zu finden. Dieser Punkt wiegt bei allen anderen Problemen, die folgen, am schwersten. You now have the choice to go green when upgrading to a gigabit network! This new generation TL-SG108 features the latest innovative energy-efficient technologies that can greatly expand your network capacity with much less power. It automatically adjusts power consumption according to the link status and cable length to limit the carbon footprint of your network. Das Sytem ist Fan-Less/passiv gekühlt (oder welche Bezeichnung man auch immer dafür wählen möchte) - es hat auf jeden Fall keinen Lüfter und macht keinen Lärm. Damit eignet sich sich perfekt als Desktopswitch oder auch in Umgebungen, wo man vielleicht doch etwas mehr Probleme mit dem sonoren Rauschen von Ventilatoren haben könnte.
