I use one for my small Home network server setup, definitely a good switch, not to mention TP link sells others with 8 and even 16 ports with the same design
Yeah, I have the 8-port model. I'm going to upgrade to a 2.5GB version with 16 ports and redo my entire security camera system with 4K cameras... so I'm gonna have quite a bit of bandwidth being used. I haven't picked out any cameras, yet, nor do I know exactly how much bandwidth they may require. I mean, 1Gbit may handle several of them just fine, but since my motherboard has 2.5GB Ethernet, I say "Why not?" That means I get to upgrade my router to a model with 2.5GB Ethernet and Wi-Fi 6e so I can have a little fun with the stuff I have. That or build a new PC and go with 10GBit Ethernet and Wi-Fi 7. I just enjoy tech. I also like that Wi-Fi 6e is very short range so that's more secure. My closest neighbor is probably 300+ yards away and I know they aren't computer savvy. And Wi-Fi 6e isn't going to reach their house, especially considering that I live in a brick house. But all my cameras will be required to be ran on Ethernet. IP cameras are the easiest things to hack since they all use Port 80. I could sit next to someone's house with wireless IP cameras and grab all the data packets from them and then decrypt them with a program I have that uses my GPU and literally see each frame. Luckily, I'm an ethical hacker. A penetration tester if you will. I hacked my own network without being connected to the Wi-Fi or anything. Just from capturing packets via wireless radiotapping and grabbing the eapol (handshakes) and decrypting them. That gave me the Wi-Fi password to my own network. That's when I said "Oh H no.." and turned my Wi-Fi off and went fully Ethernet. To be fair, though, Ethernet is even easier to hack if you can get to an Ethernet cable. Then I don't even need a password.. I just plug it in and I'm on your network. So, yeah, gotta be thoughtful on how you set things up. It's not people like me you have to worry about. It's the police. They have stingrays EVERYWHERE. IMSI devices. They can fit in the trunk of a car. They act as cell towers and everything you text goes through their stingray box and then to the real tower. They set them up to do drug busts or whatever, but they still gather EVERYONE's data in the area. It's why me and my family use apps with end-to-end encryption over data. I can detect Stingrays and even know where they are. Eh, I'm in the wrong place to be getting this deep into technical jargon. No offense, but it gets lonely being a network/PC god and having no one to talk to about it that understands what I'm talking about. Lastly, though, I keep up with all the towers in my area and their PCI numbers and always can tell when a fake tower pops up. They don't know how to hide them well enough... and I'm not gonna give any advice on that on here. I'll just keep watching them set up and then driving by and checking them out lmao. It's a complete violation of people's privacy.
@@PeteyPablo408 The SF1005P is 10/100 and the SG1005P is 10/100/1000, so definitely go with the SG model. EDIT: That's also if you need PoE. You can cut the price in half if you go with one that doesn't end in "P". I have the TL-SG1008, myself. PoE is for powering hardware through the Ethernet cable. Maybe you know that. All of my cameras have power adapters. The 8-port model is less than half the price of the 5 port PoE model. But if you have some PoE cameras, then ya gotta go with what ya gotta go with.
I have the version 5 or 6 of TP-Link TL-SG1005D switch, it has worked flawless for years and it still going strong. I would imagine a metal case would have better heat dissipation compared to plastic, but they really don't run hot in my experience. My switch is using roughly 2 watts of power, nothing that can melt plastic :) Also if you are paying for *over* 1gbit, you need a 2gbit switch.
Worth buying the 8-port imo, but yeah, these things are great. My router has 4x ports + a WAN port. I decided to do away with Wi-Fi and go 100% Ethernet so I got the TL-SG108. My router has a cable going to it, one to my PC, one to a TV and one to an adapter for my cellphone. Then I have a bunch of cameras on my switch for my home security system, another one going to a TV and I dunno, it's been awhile. It's been 100% stable. Cameras get 100% identical bitrates as they did when connected directly to the router. Ping times are the same @ 1ms. It's an amazing switch. I just want to find a video that's different than all these videos on YT. Everyone is just showing their switch. Okay... that's fine. But where's the bandwidth tests? Where's the guys showing a few PCs and/or laptops transferring large files while streaming a Blu-Ray quality video at the same time? I wanna see how it performs under extreme circumstances. I have a lot of stuff plugged into mine, but there's not a lot of data throughput. I can't wait to upgrade my home security system. My PC (custom built) has a 2.5G Ethernet port in it. I'm gonna buy a new router and a 2.5Gbit switch and around 8 or so 4K security cameras so I am really putting my LAN to use. Probably gonna build another PC and turn this one into something neat that can double as a home theater PC for streaming vids, too. I love tech and I love putting loads on hardware. Don't ask because I dunno why. My mobo also has Wi-Fi 6e and BT 5.3 built in, so maybe I'll set up Wi-Fi 6e. The reason I'm against Wi-Fi is because I can hack anyone's Wi-Fi without being on their network. I can capture every packet because the waves are sent in all directions. Wi-Fi 6e would have a shorter range, at least. I dunno, maybe I'll play around with it. Still, though, you can not beat Ethernet. It's faster, more responsive.. everything is better. And I can't sit outside your house and wireless radiotap all your wi-fi packets haha and then decrypt everything with my GPU. I'm an ethical hacker, but I hacked my own home network. That's when I said "time to go 100% Ethernet." Then, again, the chances of you having a neighbor with the networking knowledge that I have is close to zero.
The biggest reason is many people in the US have cable internet running over legacy coaxial networks. There's limited bandwidth on that cable so they prioritize download speeds.
@@StolenJoker84 also cable companies are cheap and they like to advertise download speeds since that’s where the majority of the traffic happens; the new docsis 3.1 and 4.0 though will allow symmetrical 10 gig up and down when they all start adopting it and existing hardware and they upgrade their facilities to handle that speed for multiple users.
@@socialmedia5534 We have fiber where I live too, and have close to Gigabit speeds (even on WiFI). I haven’t lived in the US for 7 years now, but even before I moved, it always baffled me how download speeds were always heavily prioritized. Sure, download is the majority of the traffic, but if you can get Gigabit downloads, it doesn’t make sense why you can’t get 500Mb down and 500Mb up. That’s still insanely fast download speeds that will be good enough for 99.999% of your internet usage, while providing useable upload speeds for things like cloud storage, gaming, and streaming (as a content creator, not a viewer).
i just ran several throughput tests with iperf3 and it failed to get above 100mbps. tested on multiple devices attached to the switch. dont know what the issue is but i dont advise the use of this switch as it is limiting me to 100mbps
I use this on my cottage, with mikrotik router and 40 mbps internet, its good, but when can i set up qos and mangle rules in each rooms, its hard to set up, switch also dont have vlans. So in each rooms i have full speed, what is not very good but ... I should probably have bought a mikrotik ap or another router.
On router i have 2 dhcp servers, 1 is for tv ( this have 8 mbps ), and second is for switch/lan - this have 27 mbps, and on this ( lan ) dhcp server i have also mangles like quic and http.
I have one that is pretty much a basic one with 3 outlets and it kinda sucks, I got 1Gb when I plug the cable into my PC but when I plug that thing and 2 PCs on it both get like 5Mbs. Is this just a product problem or would you say this would happen with any other thing? Bear in mind the one I got is like 5 buck splitter not considered a switch, thanks for helping c:
products marketed as "ethernet hubs" or "splitters" connect the cables directly on an electrical level, which plays hell with the signal integrity and causes some additional loss if two devices try to send at the same time. For that reason they aren't really used for anything above 10mbit ethernet. They are a scam. A switch is a totally different story -- there is 0 degradation.
I just recently bought this same device and love it! I use mine [combined with a NETGEAR MR 6500 M6 Pro] to power two GMRS network nodes, my laptop, Roku STREAMBAR, iPad Pro M1, and, Vizio tv internet via Ethernet … both the router/hotspot and the TP-Link SG105 being combined never miss a beat and speed tests are similar to what you got! Can’t say enough good about both! Great video! ~Jim~ ruclips.net/user/TOTALLYRELAXED ?sub_confirmation=1
TL-SG105 I have one of these and it makes me lose 80mbps and when I used the model TL-SG1055 the lose I experience went. So if ur gonna buy something buy the TL-SG105S

No. Gaming doesn't require a lot of speed. Latency is more important. You'll be just fine with basically any ethernet based solution.
