Plug and play
Got this as part of upgrading my home network to support multi-gig speeds. I have the switch downstream from a Eero Max 7. The switch worked as expected. Quickly negotiated the correct speeds and seems stable so far. I have Cat 5E cabling throughout my home and worried it may not support 10Gbps but wasnât an issue.

Works Great!
Needed to make an upgrade and this product looked highly rated here. Easy install and all ports are working as intended. I expect this switch to last several years. It feels sturdy and doesnât get too warm with over half the ports in use. Good deal.

Really solid quality, works exactly as expected.
One caveat to my review which is that I have not had it more than a month. However, in that limited time I can confidently say this is exactly what I was looking for. A genuine 10gbe switch for every port made with quality, reliable hardware. Yes it may cost a little more than some of the random Chinese brands on Amazon (ie âNICGIGAâ) but the cost in the long run is immaterial for the quality that you are getting. I happened to get it while it was on sale for about $240 (vs current price of $299). I do think 299 is probably a bit high, so I would wait for it to drop from that level. Apart from that, this is exactly what you want. You will not be disappointed!

Works good, and a metal case
Bought to replace an 8-port switch for my home’s main network concentration point after outgrowing the old one. No need for a managed switch in my simple home environment, so this one does the job. What I like about this switch is the metal case (vs. plastic for many desktop switches) and holes for wall mounting. It has been in place for a couple of years now and has had zero issues. Of course, home only has about three dozen devices so the switch isn’t being pushed too hard. Many of those devices are connecting via WiFi mesh pods (half a dozen hung off the switch) and three sub-switches in rooms that have multiple hard-wired devices.The only issue I’ve ever had is a packet storm from a malfunctioning device. The switch has no way to detect and block this type of event so one device flooding its connection can shutdown the entire network. Most likely, no unmanaged switch will handle this type of event though.

Plugged and worked immediately
No issues so far.

Unit Dead Awesome support from TP-Link
My unit and the TP unit it was connected to both stopped functioning. Both light up, but no one is home.I sent a message to support and they are sending me a replacement at no cost.

Finally, An Easy Way to Get More Than 1 Gigabit
Upgraded my home Internet to 2 gigabit fiber, and home fileserver with SSD storage, so I bought the TP-Link 8-port TL-SG108-M2 and 5-port TL-SG105-M2 to upgrade my home network to multi-gigabit speed. It was easy to swap my old gigabit switches with these TP-Link 2.5 giggers, using my existing ethernet cables.Per-port lights made it obvious which ports run at 2.5 gigabit, 1 gigabit, and 100 megabit. I loved the fan-less design – zero noise coming from these TP-Link switches. I will never buy a fan-based switch again – they collect dust, and eventually die unless kept clean.Speed:Tested throughput extensively using iperf3 on the local network, and speedtest.net for Internet speed.LAN (local network) bandwidth tests reliably 2.3 gigabit average between two computers. Same speed when 2 computers are on the same switch, and when they are connected switch-to-switch. This was a HUGE improvement over a gigabit network which maxed out at about 0.95 gigabits.Was worried whether my investment would actually get close to 2.5 gigabit, especially switch-to-switch, but they did! Two TP-Link switches are linked with a 40-foot in-wall Cat-6 cable, and computers can get 2.3 gigabit between the two switches.Internet speed tested at 2.0 gigabit download and 910 megabit upload with Google Fiber 2 Gig!The TP-Links were fully backward compatible with 1 gigabit and 100 megabit devices and switches. Connected various slower devices including a gigabit switch (1gig), a Ubiquiti AC Lite AP (1gig), a printer (100meg), and voice-over-IP box (100meg).Heat: These TP-Link switches get slightly warm but never hot.Ethernet Adapters: Using Sabrent 2.5 Gigabit NT-S25G USB 3.0 adapters on all my computers, since none of my computers came with 2.5 gigabit as of mid-2021. I had some auto-negotiation issues on bootup, where the adapter would sync at 100 mbit or 1 gbit (not 2.5gig) when the adapter powered on. After boot, I would manually adjust the driver’s speed setting from auto-negotiate to 2.5 gigabit, or 2.5 gigabit to auto-negotiate, which would re-sync at 2.5-gig with the switch. Contacted Sabrent support who also believed the issue was with the latest Realtek driver, a fix may be coming soon.Another reviewer here believed the TP-Links are responsible for auto-negotiate issues, it may be a TP-Link issue but I’m not sure. When I connected my TP-Link 2.5 gig switches to each other, they always synced at 2.5 gig. Same with the Google Fiber router’s 1/2.5/5/10 port which always auto-negotiated at 2.5 gig. Only my Realtek-chip adapters would sync at lower speed on initial power-on. I figured out that by plugging my 2.5gig adapters into always-on USB 3.0 ports via USB 3.0 hub, kept the adapters locked at 2.5 gigabit even after the PC rebooted.When my adapters did sync at lower speed, a quick re-sync of the driver would fix it. On Windows, Network Connections (Control Panel), double-click the adapter, Configure, Advanced tab, Speed & Duplex, switch it to “2.5 gig full” or “auto-negotiate”, either will trigger the adapter to re-try its link to the TP-Link. On Linux, after boot, run: ethtool -s enx002341234567 autoneg on advertise 0x80000000002f (replacing the enx002… with your device name)Ethernet Cables: My rooms have Jadaol flat Cat-6 cables that range in length from 1-foot to 25-feet, all worked with 2.5 gigabit. My home had professionally-installed Cat-6 in-wall cabling, with some cable lengths up to 40 feet long, all worked with 2.5 gigabit.Is this worth the price:If your Internet speed is more than 1 gigabit, then yes! If you transfer files between computers that have SSDs capable of more than 125 megabytes per second, then yes! Otherwise, no. One gigabit is plenty fast for nearly everyone’s needs. If you do buy one, you can keep your existing 1 gig switch for your gigabit devices, and plug your multi-gigabit devices into one of these TP-Link 2.5 giggers.

Well made, dependable name
I ordered 2 of these after having some issues with older equipment.I like that they are made in a metal housing, not the plastic some use. After buying 2 of their 8 port models, I decided to go with this 16 port model. My one 8 port was already filled and felt it just made sense for expansion as I prefer hardwired device speeds over the WiFi type and no interference from all the wireless signals I have.Not a ding as I don’t believe it’s the ports vs older cables had hardened over time and therefore hard to get the cable locks to set. Hence why I swapped out the old cables for newer Cat8’s as well.Overall, yes, my speed went back up into the range I expected. Decent price on these unmanaged 16 port switches. Do the connections, power em up and nothing more to be done short of a speed test

Yes this switch running hot, top surface measure at 44 degree Celsius. However, I didn’t experience any problem so far and speed is fast. Great buy.

This 2.5gb switch replaces an existing 1gb hub. Installation was trivial. Using 2.5gb USB dongles on my M1 MacBook Pro and synology NAS Iâm getting 2.35gb throughput over old Cat 5 wiring which meets expectations. All in all, a painless upgrade.

The switch device performed as expected despite running hot at 55 degrees Celsius. I put a cooling fan on top of it and turn it on and off at intervals.
