Review: Affordable and does the job - I've been needing a network switch for a while now. My internet plan offers decent speeds, but I was tired of devices fighting for bandwidth, especially during peak hours. After some research, I decided to go with the TP-Link 5 Port 10/100 Mbps Fast Ethernet Switch, and I'm happy to report that it's been a great addition to my home network. **Setup was a breeze.** The switch is truly plug-and-play. I simply connected it to my router and then plugged in my devices (computers, gaming consoles, smart TV) to the switch's five ports. No configuration was needed, and everything worked seamlessly right out of the box. **Performance has been noticeably improved.** Downloads are faster, online gaming is smoother, and video streaming is uninterrupted. The 100 Mbps speed might not be the latest gigabit technology, but it's a significant upgrade from my previous setup and more than enough for my needs. **I also appreciate the compact design.** The switch is small and lightweight, so it fits easily on my desk without taking up too much space. It also runs silently, which is a plus since it's located in my living room. **Here are some additional points that I like:** * **Auto-MDI/MDIX:** This means I don't need to worry about using crossover cables, which simplifies things even further. * **Energy-efficient:** The switch uses less power than traditional unmanaged switches, which is good for the environment and my wallet. * **Affordable:** I found the TP-Link switch to be very budget-friendly, especially considering its performance and ease of use. **Overall, I'm very pleased with the TP-Link 5 Port 10/100 Mbps Fast Ethernet Switch.** If you're looking for a simple and affordable way to expand your home network and improve your internet speeds, I highly recommend this product. It's been a reliable and hassle-free solution for me. **Just a few things to keep in mind:** * This switch only offers 10/100 Mbps speeds, so if you have a gigabit internet plan, you'll need a different model. * It's an unmanaged switch, which means you don't have any advanced configuration options. If you need more control over your network, you'll need a managed switch. But for most home users, this TP-Link switch is a great option. It's easy to use, delivers noticeable performance improvements, and is very affordable.
Review: Just flip the switch... - I decided to upgrade my router to allow me to add additional computers to my network with no changes to my existing installation and network configuration. This product was the ideal solution and works well as described. Connectivity is excellent and is truly plug and play to operate. I can now connect four additional computers to my router using this device. A good value.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: So how do i use this device? Do i plug an ethernet cable from my router into the splitter, and then i can use other ethernet cables for other devices?**
A: Yes, simply connect an Ethernet cable from your router into the switch, and the remaining ports can be used to expand your network's Ethernet connectivity.

Regards,
TP-Link Support

**Q: Does this enable multiple devices to be using internet at the same time?**
A: The switch is not a router and cannot replace a router; but it can be used to expand the Ethernet connectivity of your home network. As long as you already have a routed network setup, you can add more, or multiple Ethernet devices using the switch by connecting it to your router.

Regards,
TP-Link Support

**Q: So it says 5 and has five in the picture but is that one input and 4 out put or an input on the side and 5 outputs on the front?**
A: The switch has a total of 5 ports, one of which must be used for input, allowing for 4 output ports.

Regards,
TP-Link Support

**Q: Is this wall mountable?**
A: The 8-port variant determinately is wall-mountable.  There are slots on the underside that allow the switch to slide onto screw heads.  This is typical for soho equipment.  I have a cable modem, 3 routers, and this TP-Link 8-port switch wall-mounted in this manner.
