We love TP-Link Switch products from the 5 port, 8 port, to the 10 port switch. These switches are reliable and plug and play. Thanks for watching.
This is a great switch, I have had it for a year, no issues ever. The metal case is solid, and looks good. This switch just works, good quality product for the money. I use it in my little home theater.
I have 2 of these switches and never had an issue. Just plug and play.
@@UltimateTechHub I have a TP Link router too... I use to use NetGear, they are junk in comparison. Love my TP link gear. They do something others cannot, they work. And so far, flawlessly. Knock on wood. ;-)
I once daisy chained 2 5-ports switches because I feel so bad to throw them away and get an 8 port one
Man you gotta watch out, the place behind the table is a mess and can cause fire easily especially during hot days while left on for long periods of time. Regarding the video itself, it's excellent and very informative. I bought the TP-Link Switch after watching this video. Thanks mate.
Yes I need to clean up all the wires and get organized that's for sure. Its a huge mess....Lol. Enjoy the new switch and thanks for watching!!!
@@UltimateTechHub how do you clean up the wires?
@@iishyxvietxboyii1 Watch this video to find out!!
ruclips.net/video/M29rUnKi_p4/видео.html
@@UltimateTechHub I sure need cleaning up my wires too, lol. Thanks a lot!
My guy, you need to do something about that cable management.
I did . Here is the video link- ruclips.net/video/M29rUnKi_p4/видео.html
@@UltimateTechHub Nice. Anyways thanks for the video
One question, which port do you plug the Ethernet cord from the internet?
Any port will do. I usually plug it into the first port but it really doesn't matter. Thank you for watching.
Can I go router to switch to switch to device?
For example, router is in hallway, plug into a switch, plug 1 of those connections to a remote room. In that remote room can I then plug that connection Into another switch and have 3/4 things connected back?
Yes absolutely. Thank you for watching and if you subscribed thank you as well.
very nice summary, i will follow you after that :D
Thank you for watching I appreciate it.
This switch reduced the Internet speed to the two routers they are connected to, I have 3 tp link deco x20 and in the first level is the main one that gets the 250 mbps of the contract but in the second level the two routers only receive 90 mbps with this switch.
You connected 2 routers to your switch? That's not the proper way to set up a network. It's always router to switch. Switch to router will not work.
@@UltimateTechHub even if I connect only 1 router, which if I have tried, I still get the same speed of 90 mbps. I did a test in which I disconnected everything from the switch and only left the Internet cable and 1 router and it continued to give 90 mbps
@@UltimateTechHub They are mesh wifi routers and in the router application they recommend doing it this way as I have it to connect 2 routers to the main router via ethernet.
Yea not the only comment on here with the same issue, I've also had speeds limited by this switch, people didn't speed check their reviews.
I have oneof these but need more ports. can I get another one,? patch it into the filled up one and get 7 more ports or should I get the 16 port switch which is more money I would like not to spend.
Yes use a crossover cable from one switch to the other. Thank you for watching I really appreciate it.
So does it not matter which port you plug the ethernet coming IN into? The rest automatically act as outs?
Exactly!
very nice, thank you
can i connect WI-FI RANGE EXTENDER to this switch ?
Do i need both cables( router to switch and switch to pc) to be gigabit capable?? Or is it ok to use a basic cable from router to switch?
Thanks for the video..
Cat5e is perfect its 1 gig speeds. Thank you for watching I really appreciate it!
Sorry guys I'm finding it hard to figure out how to install this. In this video you completely removed your router and replaced it with this. How is the switch getting internet if it's not connected to a internet router
@@ianwarren2444that’s not a router, that’s another switch (the net gear one)
Quick question. Do you have to connect it to your router with an Ethernet cable or is it connected via Bluetooth?
Ethernet cable like cat5e or cat6.
@@UltimateTechHub so I need that plugged in to my router?
@@Akhi_pali Yes. From a LAN port on your router to any port on the switch. I usually plug it in to the first port just for organizing my wires better.
@@UltimateTechHub alright
Quick question.. so basically 1 ethernet cable will be connected from router to switch which will supply the internet to switch in one of the slots and the remaining ports will be used to get internet out to the devices via ethernet cable correct ? I was trying to find where the " IN " and " OUT " are..
Is there QoS in this model and how can you access the settings if available?
No Qos in this switch. You need a managed switch for that. I have a few videos on managed switches.
Can u use all devices for internet at the same time? Up to 4 or 8? Idk sorry am bad at tech news. Lol
No that's too much data for a 1gig switch. Tp-Link makes 2.5 gig switches and 10gig as well. At a minimum use 2.5 switches and also what is your ISP max speeds and what router do you use?
Is that instead of broadband or do you still have to have broadband
So My question with these is, I'm using a router to connect to my stuff but limited to 100Mbps. Will this help me reach my full speed that I have contracted with my ISP?
No this will not improve your speeds. Your routers speed is determined by your ISP. The switch connects to the router and therefore the switch may get less speed than the router. But the speed of the switch is not noticeable its only minor difference.
@@UltimateTechHub I should properly re-explain. My ISP provided modem is connected to a seperate router and my pc is connected to said router. My actual speeds are about 500mbps (more or less) and my router is limiting my speeds to 100.
how many devices can I add? it seems to me that it should be 7 but i'm not sure. Can you advise?
If the switch is 8 ports then you have 1 port needed for the connection to the router and then 7 ports on the switch are available. 5 port switch would be 4 ports available. 10 port would be 9 ports available. I recently uploaded some videos on switches some make sure to check them out.
Question. My router has 1 extra port. Can I connect this to my router to give it extra ports?
Yes absolutely!
I bought the same TL-SG1008D. When power is plugged in, no LED light at the front panel. Does that mean the switch is faulty? my Intention was to replace the 5 port router with this switch as i hv now got a TP link Deco M4 mesh wifi system. Can someone assist?
Mine has the green LED light when it's plugged in. Does the switch work? When devices are plugged in does it get a network connection?
hey.. nice video.. do you need lan card for pc?
Yes
Do u have to plug it in the modem or router
Modem to router to switch.
@@UltimateTechHub does that mean ONE of the eight ports will be used for ROUTER TO SWITCH connection?
@@kennyowz yes any port will be fine.
question, my internet speed is close to 310, can pass it completely?
Can this be used as a modem for my router
No only as a switch! Thank you for watching!
hey ultimate tech hub, give me some info if you want to.
I have an older tp link switcher working fine, i connect only two devices with lan cables.
a ps4 and a android tv box. My router gives the switcher a steady 100mbps connection.
However both the ps4 and the tv box get each 90mbps steady of course. What is the reason i am having a 10mbps deficit on these devices?is it the switcher or something else?thanks for your time.
The 90 mbps is pretty normal. You really don't need more than that for gaming or streaming movies. My PS5 gets the same 90 mbps amd i have 1gig fiber. I play call of duty cold War online and it plays perfectly. Hope this clears things up for you. Thanks for watching!!
@@UltimateTechHub dear friend thanks for the interest and the quick reply!! It really is all I need but the question is a bit technical, as to why both devices don't get the maximum mbps!! The switcher i have gives a max of 100mbps for its 5 ports!!
can u use all ports at the same time?
Yes absolutely
What is your seagate hdd used for in the media center? Curious of using my 4tb usb hdd which is just hooked to a pc and not being used as much as I thought.
The 5tb Seagate is used as extra hard drive space for my PS4. I did a video on how to add extra hard drive space to a PS4 check it out if you get a chance. Thanks for watching!
Can i connect internet straight switch and share to router and other devices?
No, you need to go router then switch.
This one or the 105 Which one is better, I’m using it for gaming mostly hope you answer fast
This one i use for gaming and its very fast and no issues. Thanks for watching and good luck!
i have issue with this switch,i have a 500mbps internet speed from my ISP. Connection directly from router to laptop is 500mbps, but whenever i use this switch, it limits to 100mbps. I've tried buying two new cables for connection between Router>switch>laptop, but the problem still remains. I even tried both setting the duplex to auto configuration and also 1gbps configuration. Any idea how to solve this?
No idea
same problem for me.. do you have any solution for that>
@@JAG_UAR unfortunately didnt find the solution. I just bought 30 meters long ethernet and connect directly to the router.
Sir I have a tenda router can this model like a router
its wifi? you dont need to cable from the router?
It's not wifi. And you need a cable from your router to the switch.
How come my wired Isn’t working
i have the 5th port with my internet cable in but cant seem too find where i plug my voip phone in i have this ethernet switch that ur showing can you help please light's flashing but no dial tone
VIOP needs a PoE switch. Here is my video on PoE switches and how they work.

Keep me posted and thank you for watching!
So I'm new to this Idk if this what I'm looking for I'm looking to hardwire my ps4 ps5 monitor so i have better connections but I didn't see it hook up to wifi router it hook up too plug so is this like built in wifi or something
You can connect both the PS4 and the PS5 with an ethernet cable to the switch. The switch needs to connect to a router to work.
@@UltimateTechHub ok thankyou
Need to work on wire management
I have its better now! Thanks for watching!
Can I connect this from my pc as the “router” by sharing the internet connection I have already wireless, then connect a ps4 to it etc, so from my main routher wirelessly to pc then lan cable to the swtich then cable to a ps4?
No that won't work. It goes from Router to switch to devices.
@@UltimateTechHub but I have already got a ps4 connected to my pc via Ethernet, the pc is sharing its Wi-Fi, so I can’t put this switch first then the ps4?
@@Wigglez69 Why isn't your PS4 connected using its own wifi? I've never plugged a switch into a PC ethernet port to share the wifi. It might work but it's no guarantee and the port connections may be very slow. Remember this switch uses MAC addresses to connect to other devices not IP addresses. You can give it a try and let ne know if it works.
@@UltimateTechHub it’s for FTP transfers, my ps4 is jailbroken!
It’s working I got the switch today!
no need to configure>?
Nope its a plug and play.
👍👍
This is not really a switch, more like a fancy ethernet splitter. Regardless of the names, it is great. I have used two to wire up my house
Hm po?
Can it use for wifi
Did you find a solution?
Hm po???
hello Ultimate Tech Hub, I am looking for 16 port ethernet Switch with LAN cable and power cord both behind the box. I don't know why they are many ethernet switch box with LAN cable in the front? I am use it for my Gaming and Home Theater room with ethernet switch LAN cable behind. I have my old ethernet switch port 5 with LAN cable behind that are full and I am looking online that I can find ethernet switch with port 16 LAN cable and power cord behind. can you help me?
16 port switch is probably going to be a managed switch like CISCO. You can get a 10 port switch and daisy chain another 10 port switch to it. Just use a cross over cable to connect both switches. That's my best advice.
@@UltimateTechHub I think I just found that I was looking for that is close enough to find another way ethernet port 16 that is attracts to the wall or behind my TV cabinet might be good enough. this is very close that I was looking for. NETGEAR 16-Port Gigabit Ethernet Smart Managed Plus Switch (GSS116E) check this out.
@@UltimateTechHub what do you think? will that work?ruclips.net/video/9vgHeIQS1fY/видео.html
@@matthewankrum2541 ok I will check it out. Good luck and keep me posted.
@@UltimateTechHub ok i will
Where is the configuration steps
There is no steps. Its a plug and play.
hi i have a question is this a router itself or i have connect this to my router because my ps4 is downstairs and my router is upstairs and my ps4 lagges alot so will this help it if i connect my etherent to this
You need to connect this to your router. Then from the switch connect to your PS4.
@@UltimateTechHub my problem is my router is upstairs and my ps4 is downstairs I want to connect Ethernet for my ps4 but my router and ps4 both far apart do you know wht i would have to buy for my ps4 to connect to Ethernet?
@@pavishan9413 The only way to connect it is to run an ethernet cable from upstairs to down stairs. It is possible to do but you may want to hire a low voltage installer to help you run the ethernet so its either in the wall or its run along the baseboards.
@@UltimateTechHub would a tp link wireless power adapter work?
@@pavishan9413 not sure it would make a difference with the download and upload speed. What are your wireless speeds on your PS4?
