TP-Link 16 Port Gigabit Ethernet Network Switch, Desktop/ Wall-Mount, Fanless, Sturdy Metal w/ Shielded Ports, Traffic Optimization, Unmanaged, Limited Lifetime Protection (TL-SG116) Black

It's in our basement, right under our stairs, and it supplies water to the rest of the house. Two children's rooms, a master bedroom and living room, and soon our garage and office. br>Test speeds are exactly where they should be, and temperatures are perfect. br>br>*** update**
Almost a year of ownership, and the ports have been slowly dying over the last few months, starting from the right. One at a time. We're down to nine operational ports now. br>Won't be buying from them again.

For 14 months, this was perfect. We installed it in the heart of our house, downstream from the ATT modem/router, and plugged it into a UPS for 14 months. It was never turned off and always functioned as expected. Then, one year, two months, and eight days after the purchase, all traffic came to a complete stop. All of the lights were on, but there was no one around. After a 95-minute support chat, they determined that the switch was the source of the problem. They required that I connect to the ATT router directly - Yes, the PC is functional. They then had me connect two PCs to the switch, each with a static IP address, and have them pinge each other - Nope, that didn't work either. Support was clearly assisting with other tickets, as each response was delayed by up to 5 minutes. Finally, customer service acknowledged that the switch was faulty and authorized a return. TP- is the most basic return. It cost $14 for Link to send you a unit right away. It would cost $49. 00 to have it expedited. Seriously, it's 99 (OR MORE THAN A NEW UNIT) I'm going to throw this out and get something else. It is not worth the time and effort to fix and troubleshoot core switches that die so quickly. So go find a unit that will last longer.

I bought this unit with the intention of mounting it in a rack, and I read in the review that "Q: Is there a wall mounting bracket included?br>br>Answer this questionbr>A: It includes two "L"-shaped brackets as well as screws for installation. The brackets can be used in a standard rack mount system, or they can be rotated and attached to the bottom of the switch to mount it to a wall. Both are done with the same brackets. Aaron H. , br>br>Aaron H. , br>Aaron H. , br>Aaron H 1 year ago"br>br>However, it is not rack mountable and lacks rack mounting provisions (such as screw holes on the side for attaching rack brackets). A 16 port switch is typically used in a rack and comes with brackets or the ability to add more later. This unit is not one of them. Tp- This isn't an issue because Link is a good product, but if you have a rack, you'll need a shelf or pass on this one.

This is an excellent switch. It's a perfect match for the Omada ecosystem TP- Link is the result of his work. This is the switch I have, the TL- Two EAP225 wireless access points and an ER605 gateway Now that I have a single point of administration for my network, it's fantastic. I have VPN access to my home network, and the analytics they provide allow me to diagnose problems early. I also like that there is a local web-based administration and an app, unlike many new systems that only have an app and appear to be more controlled by the makers than by the purchasers.

I was already in the attic running CAT5E cable for some POE cameras and had plenty of extra, so I decided to add ethernet ports to each room. I have a Netgear (non-wireless) router. mesh) to cover an area of about 2200 sq. ft. It simply does not reach the back office, and my Plex server in the living room does not like Wifi either. I received some TP-bags about 2 years ago. I've been using Link Powerline Adapters for a while now, and they've been great. The first speed tests after the office was wired up were very promising. Improved speed by 234%. That's not shabby at all! The switch is in the garage attic, where I'm attempting to cut down on the length of my runs. So far, it's been a wonderful experience.

I bought it one year and ten days ago, and it died exactly one year and ten days later. For a little more than a year, the unit functioned flawlessly. Today, I noticed that I couldn't connect to my NASs or other equipment on the other side of the house. After some network troubleshooting, I returned to find it sat there with about half of the status LEDs lit but not flashing. I unplugged the power for about 30 seconds before plugging it back in, and all of the LEDs flashed four times. That was the end of the conversation. As if you were dead. whatever. It had spent its entire life in a very cool environment, so I know it wasn't overheating. In addition, no storms or other electrical events have occurred in the last few weeks. Even though it worked fine when it did, I wasn't happy with it.
