Questions & Answers

Does the 16 port model come with a fan?

A few of these were bought by me. This is not a fanless product. There is a lot of noise.

The question I have is whether or not this switch will be able to have dynamic IP address?

ISP is the method used for hookup It reaches &quot It is a router! It reaches &quot The switch(es) must be maintained It reaches &quot Whatever you want to do with a computer, NAS, etc. This method of negotiating IP addresses is done between your router and your ISP, so the switch has no bearing on this. The switches are designed to be perfectly transparent and to 'just work' right

Has it been designed to mount to racks?

Purchase of the TL-E3 in November of 2015 The rackmount brackets and screws necessary to attach them to the switch were included with the SG1016. The hardware, however, wasn't bundled with it There are screws/nuts) attached to the rack to hold it in place.

Can you tell me how much power this device uses? How much power? How many amps/volts?

In this case, the claim is I love the 240V power supply 0 Hz at 50/60 Hz Sixth A. There is an internal power supply, I think 12 volts or less. It is a very small power supply, so this thing is probably not using very much power given that all the ports are turned off when nothing is connected to them. Only when there is something connected to it does it feed power to it. We're talking about the green power supply here.

Selected User Reviews For TP-Link 16 Port Gigabit Ethernet Switch | Plug and Play | Sturdy Metal w/ Shielded Ports | Rackmount | Fanless | Limited Lifetime Protection | Unmanaged (TL-SG1016)

Switch mounted on a rack - nice It includes the rack you need - You need to mount hardware! There are 16 gigabit ports on this unmanaged switch and it includes all the features needed for a small home network (or maybe even All of the ports on the switch are fanless and thus do not produce any noise, and the ports detect what is plugged into them and The consequence of this is that not only do they auto-detect It is possible to negotiate with devices operating at other speed ranges, but the devices will also be able to detect which port is coming from your router (or another switch) without you having to specify I believe there is some confusion between this model (TL-) and the THL model (TL-1) Both the rackmount version (SG1016) and the tabletop version (TL-1016) have a switch for almost any room in the house
5/5

There are two types of switches available (SG1016D and SG1016DD) for both rackmount and desktop installation. In terms of functionality, there is little difference between the D and R versions however, the D version is only 13 inches wide and if you wish to rack mount it, you'll need the brackets that it comes with. It has rack mount ears that allow you to attach it to the rack itself. The version I purchased was 19" and did not have the "D" option. This version does not come with the rack mount hardware included with the "D" version, like there is some misinformation out there that implies it is missing. It does come with the rackmount ears and the screws necessary to mount the rackmount ears to the switch, but is missing the rackmount kit. not include the screws that are used to attach the switch to the rack, yet that represents at least part of the reason for this since there are multiple sizes of rack screws available. That means you are entirely on your own. In addition to being able to be rotated in four directions, the mounting ears are also designed so that they can be angled in three that you can simply rotate the mounting ears 90 degrees to mount the switch directly to a wall. Also, you can rotate them 180 degrees so that the switch is able to sit in front of the face of the rack, moving the mounting position by about Depending upon how much space you have, this unit may still be problematic if mounting without a rack. But remember that the power cord will exit directly at the rear, so use it only in shallow mounting brackets rather than full racks. Despite the fact that they use only four screws (which are also included), they are remarkably If you decide to set this up on a shelf, they also include some rubber feet. It doesn't get any more complicated than that. It is a good rackmount option if you are looking for Perhaps the "D" version is a better fit if you prefer to have something a little smaller that you could leave on a desk or shelf near your cable modem. There is only a physical difference between each case, and it relates to the amount of air space within.

There is one big annoyance, but the rest is good
3/5

Since I bought this switch a few years ago, it has been mostly good, but there is one annoyance that led me to come back and post Whenever I lose power, I have to restart my home network switch, even though all of my networking equipment is connected to a UPS/Battery Backup. Before the UPS switches over to battery when the power goes out, there is a brief moment (literally the length of time it takes for the relay to change over). Since the period is so short, this is generally ignored by hardware. Normally, hardware has enough power stored in its power supply to handle very brief brownouts or blackouts. However, the switch does not have that capability. Every time the UPS switches power sources, the switch will automatically restart while all of my other hardware continues to run. In addition, this happens when the UPS switches back to line power after power has been When the relay switches, it causes this switch to reboot, which will result in a complete loss of all network related activity. When the switch runs with continuous power, everything works fine, but you need to make sure your power does not even experience even the simplest interruption.

I've never encountered a product or customer support team as bad as Link's
4/5

In this case, the switch (TL-) The SG10116D had a 5-year warranty and has been working well until three years ago when it stopped working. Should your switch ever need to be replaced under warranty, you could be in for a very difficult time. I've never encountered a product or customer support team as bad as Link's. As of July 11, 2016, my ticket number has been issued, which will enable me to request an RMA by email. It is now July 24, 2016 and nothing has been done. The calls were not answered and the emails were not answered either. I have provided them with the correct information, but they cannot get me Visit these sites to read a review about their customer service It is true that they have good products, but don't buy thinking that you are covered by a warranty.

I would recommend it to anyone needing to network their home
5/5

My home network uses CAT6 Ethernet so I bought this. The Verizon FiOS device I have in my home is an older model and only has one coaxial input. The switch I used to change the settings was the one I needed. This switch was mounted in a rack in my basement and connected to a patch panel using my cabling. In order to connect my FiOS router, my NAS, and the switch, I patched the cables on my computer. Then I switched my computer over to my newly installed Ethernet jack (I had been using WiFi for a very long time) and moved the WiFi router to a central location in the house. I did everything the way it should have been done after I hooked it up. This is not a managed switch, so there is no configuration required (I didn't want a complexities type of switch). This switch noticed a significant improvement in my speed

I would highly recommend it.
