  1. Rated 5 out of 5

    Randy – June 3, 2015

    Worked perfectly for my home application. I used the 16-port TL-SG1016DE Easy Smart for my rack and while the switch is a bit heavy in the rear for the rackmount extensions to handle, it still works decently if you push the rear up to bend the brackets and make it level. I suppose it’s due to the fact that the L-shaped rackmount brackets are long and not very thick, so they warp a bit under the weight of the switch pulling down in the rear. Also, unless you have a 90 degree power adapter, you’ll need approximately 8 inches of room, from front to rear of your rack, to allow for the power cable (this was installed in a small patch panel rack for my application).As far as how the switch works, I have had no issues so far. I’m using 12 of the 16 ports at any given time and the thing barely emits any heat. The software was pretty simple to install, just had to assign it an IP address that wasn’t in range with the switches default, login and all settings were simple to configure. The default subnet is 192.168.*.* while my router uses the 10.8.*.* range, so other than giving it a compatible IP address, it would work strait out of the box with no configuration needed.To sum things up, I would definitely buy again and most likely will buy another as my network grows — simple setup, quality appearance, high quality ports and leds, very low heat generation and most importantly: half the price of competitors!

    Matt – September 5, 2015

    I recently bought a new Arris Surfboard modem from Costco which says it supports up to a 384 Mbps connection. Because of my old Asus WL-520GC router, I was only getting about 38Mbps on a good day. Now with this new TL-R600VPN router, I am getting 177Mbps download speeds because of the higher wan-to-lan throughput.So as of day one, I’m very impressed.

    Basic switch that is VLAN aware and all 1gig ports! Comes with rack mount ears and fits nicely in standard racks.

  4. Rated 5 out of 5

    Steve Sedlmayr – April 7, 2016

    These switches fit the bill perfectly: unmanaged, no fan, lots of ports, 2 Gbps per port. Also, although there are no photos or text to suggest this on the product page, they do come with an excellent pair of rack ears powder coated to match the slate gray of the switch itself.I bought two of these to replace several 5-port Netgear switches I had scattered around the house, often daisy-chained. I’ve been having issues with my network, some of which have been cleared up by these switches; mainly not obtaining proper IP addresses, or machines connected to them not obtaining proper IP addresses. This TP-Link switch is incredibly fast and I’ve never had IP issues with them to date. After you turn them on, they only take a second or two to initialize and obtain an IP address; in other words, almost instantly. I’ve never seen a switch come online that quickly before. The Netgears often would take 30 seconds or more, and sometimes even then, as I mentioned, would fail to connect properly to the router if I turned them on too soon. This TP-Link switch doesn’t seem to have any of those issues. You can power it on or off any time you like relative to your router; as soon as a link is available, it will connect. It works like a switch should, meaning hassle-free; you turn it on and it switches packets.Something else I noticed, which I’ve also noticed when upgrading other network equipment like my wifi router, is that it makes everything on the network snappier. I’m talking about LAN, of course. For WAN, obviously it isn’t going to speed up your Internet connection; but you will notice less latency, resulting in faster loading web pages, and shorter times for connecting to a VPN server, or any other WAN activity that requires establishing a connection. Just as your CPU will affect web-speeds, so will the equipment you use on your internal LAN. Everything from switches to the NIC, CPU, RAM and drive on your computer, to your router to your modem will affect your ‘Internet’ speed. None of this, again, will improve the speed of your Internet service; but the better your equipment in each of these categories, the snappier things will connect, cache, load, route, switch, et cetera. It all adds up – or subtracts if you have poor equipment.I purchased two; one is in my garage server cabinet and feeds the house from the main router; the other is in my home office and disseminates connections to the various computers and devices in the office. My old Netgear switches were always full; now I have more ports than I will probably ever need for expansion.These offer a big improvement over the small 5-port switches given the 2 Gbps dedicated to each port. I can do Steam in-home streaming from my home office PC to the livingroom while my wife streams videos from the wifi router and neither will affect the other; as they shouldn’t, since one is a WAN activity and the other is a LAN-only activity. However, in the past, the smaller switches acted as a bottle-neck in the LAN, with the result that heavy LAN use could affect WAN use and visa versa. If you have these issues, this switch will probably clear them up for you.I also opened these switches up to look inside. I’m no electrical engineer, but they appear to be quite well built: clean traces, good quality capacitors, solid components overall and well laid-out. They also didn’t over-engineer the case: just a handful of screws to open it up. The case is well-ventilated and solid. The powder-coating is well done and the color is quite attractive. I know this is a minor detail, but I really like the LEDs on the front as well: they are small, rectangular and quite bright, and organized into both 10/100 and Gigabit categories so you can differentiate traffic quite easily at a glance.

    ValdiNet – July 13, 2016

    I purchased this unit because the TP-LINK Archer C2 AC750 Dual Band Wireless AC Gigabit Router, 2.4GHz 300Mbps+5Ghz 433Mbps, 1 USB Port, IPv6, Guest Network I had went sideways after a year of very hard use. I decided to replace it with something a smidgen closer to an enterprise router (this router) and a TP-Link TL-WA901ND 300Mbps Advanced Wireless N Access Point with Three 4dBi Detachable Antenna, 2.4 to 2.48GHz Frequency for non-Guest Wifi access and bringing the old (now broken router) back into service by disabling DHCP and re-configuring it as an LAN-isolated (guest) Wifi access point. This new setup has proven (so far) well up to the high-volume traffic demands.

    SweeeeeetAs – February 4, 2017

    This switch is perfect if you want something that just works, where you don’t have to tweak QOS/Routing/VLans/Link Aggregation/SNMP/Port Mirroring etc. It requires no setup. Just plug in your cables and you are ready to go!Since this is a fanless design, it is also very, very silent. Another advantage of not having a fan is that it is less likely to suffer from dust build up that can lead to overheating. Though not mentioned on the box or product description, this has an internal power supply (no cable bricks or large wall plugs).This can easily be used for a 24×7 setup, and can be completely neglected in a closet/desktop/rack mounting. I can’t say yet how well it will hold up over the long term, but I’m not too worried since it comes with a lifetime warranty too. So far I have had zero issues with downtime, speeds, latency, heat, etc. This switched replaced multiple smaller switches, and every device that was working on the original switches, immediately came up at 1Gb on the new switch.As an added bonus, this switch came with an excellent pair of rack ears for rack-mounting, and also some rubber feet stickers in case you decide to use this on a desktop. This is great forward thinking from TP-Link as in my experience all desktop placed switches scratch and ruin the tabletops.

    Brandy – January 3, 2018

    Seeing RxBadPkt errors on VLAN interfaces, no errors on other interfaces. Found other people having same issue, with no resolution. Cleared errors, they just keep coming in. Found some info on the TP link forums stating this in normal and to ignore it. I have 2 of these switches, and they both have the same problem, both are Version 3 with the latest firmware.

    It just works. No problems at all.Had a client that needed to upgrade from an old 10/100 switch to Gigabit. This worked great.

    kari – January 23, 2018

    Working like a champ. Hardwired Ethernet in my house and this switch was plug and play. Doing its job and providing high speed. Hope I don’t have to mess with it for a long time.Update: For rookies like me that aren’t IT guys, have to put a router in-between the cable company supplied modem if it doesn’t have router capability and this switch. I used my wifi router and system has been running flawless since, knock on wood.

    I have been using many cheap products for small businesses and this is the one that fits my requirement. What I like the most is that its stability for internet and IPsec VPN. I strongly recommend this device to those who is considering to use for less than 20 members of organizations.

    Elad – January 31, 2020

    I bought this for it’s VLAN functionality, and for me, it works great. I was originally using a few 8 port HP Switches to manage my network of: HDMI over Ethernet, Tivo BOLT with 2 mini-bolts, 4 IP security camera’s, NAS for network storage and NVR, 2 Dell Servers for Database & Web development, and my desktop, plus all TV’s that connect to Internet Streaming via Ethernet. It could be a bit chatty at times, and we noticed it on occasion. I have my setup isolating a few items while giving access to the internet on port 24.I’m not sure why people have an issue with VLAN 1, yes it’s the default for all ports but, if you configure all your ports to a new VLAN, then each port will only see data on it’s VLAN setup. Yes, VLAN 1 does get all traffic, but if a port is not configured to access VLAN 1, it does not see any of that traffic. My IP video distribution is a good example, it is setup to be isolated from any other port. Those ports assigned to that VLAN don’t see any other port traffic. And because all my other ports are assigned to other VLAN’s except VLAN 1, nothing else can access those video feeds. This is far from an Enterprise Switch with VLAN support, but it’s also far less expensive too. For a home office or small business, I think this is a great smart switch.

    TechShopper34684 – May 16, 2020

    Looking to replace an ancient but mid-tier SonicWall with something simple but business-class. SonicWall registered 97MB down / 28MB up. This Tp-Link did 300MB down / 28MB up – nice improvement there. However, if you have multiple static IPs and need to carefully expose certain services online this is not the right fit. This would be an excellent modem for a home office or simple business location. The configuration PDF is crazy long but haphazard with examples and is quite repetitive offering mediocre guidance. Anyway, spent about 3 hours in the office Saturday morning and had to roll-back to SonicWall.
