TP-LinkTL-SG105S-M2 | 5-Port Multi-Gigabit 2.5G Ethernet Switch | Unmanaged Network Switch | Ethernet Splitter | Plug & Play | Desktop/Wall Mount | Silent Operation

This little powerhouse has streamlined my home setup far better than expected. The TP-Link TL-SG105 is truly plug-and-play—no software, just hook up your devices and go. It’s also quiet and without any heat issues.Solid performance thus far as I'm running a smart TV, two gaming consoles and a PC off this and all are getting solid, consistent speeds.If you’re looking to expand your network for work-from-home, gaming, or just keeping smart devices connected, this unmanaged switch checks all the boxes. For the price and reliability, you can’t go wrong here.

This switch is super helpful for opening more Ethernet ports. My wife and I are gamers and we need light speed connections. We ordered 2 eero 6+ routers but they came with only 2 Ethernet slots in the back, so 4 in total, but 1 slot is taken by the modem connection, one is taken up by our TV, and the other router is in the back of our apartment (but we don’t have long enough Ethernet cord) so our 2 gaming PCs are Ethernet less.I looked on Amazon and saw this switch and the raving reviews. Decided to try it and am back to say it is as functional and great as others have noted. It was super easy to set up out of the box, literally just plug and play. It is very lightweight too and not heavy like our modem. It delivers the exact speed that our ISP provides which is 500 Mbps, and we achieve over that sometimes using the Ookla internet speed test. Its performance is top notch with good signal. It does not get hot, we’re using almost all the ports and it’s cool and is still as powerful as one. Haven’t had any blips or issues so far and our games has been running smoothly. I highly recommend this cost effective switch and won’t be afraid to order more when I move to my own home.

I needed a second gigabit switch for my small network and this fit the bill, both price-wise and performance-wise. It is truly PnP without any setup at all. The five ports are great to have as well. The metal case helps with cooling, even though there is not much heat buildup anyway.All in all, it's a great little switch and I highly recommend it.

I’ve been using the TP-Link for a while now and it works flawlessly. Setup was truly plug and play — just connect your devices and you're good to go. No configuration needed.The build quality is excellent with a sturdy metal case, and it runs completely silent since it’s fanless. Speeds are consistent and fast across all ports. It’s perfect for expanding a home or office network.

Works as basic 8 port switch out of the box. No issues. In order to manage the switch the info sheet directs you to a Tp link website to download a switch discovery program. That webpage says the program works on windows/mac/linux. As of late April 2025 it is only a windows program which had no provision for setting the LAN scan range rendering the program useless. You need to connect it a DCHP router and scan that LAN for the switch address. Use that address to log into the switch webpage to manage it. If you are trying to set up an 802.x VLAN with tagged frames make certain that your router supports them. My T-Mobile gateway does not so the switch was reset to basic switching and another router was added to create a separate sub net LAN. My mistake. Overall the management features are easily configured and are competitive in this price range.

Great quality and made from aluminum, I believe. Has a dedicated power cord and many different usages. Fairly easy setup. Plug router into single ethernet that is then split to 4-5 ethernet ports. Very handy for router extentions and other wifi output devices with single ethernet ports. Compact size. Very quiet.

This is my second time purchasing this switch to expand my home network. I bought the first one back in 2020, and it has performed flawlessly ever since. I haven't had any connection issues. It now includes a loop prevention switch near the power port, which my original unit didn’t have. While this model is unmanaged, it’s truly plug-and-play, perfect for users who just need a simple, effective solution to expand their wired network without configuring settings. It uses minimal power and runs cool even under continuous use. The metal housing feels durable and well-built, making it perfect for both home and small office setups. It can be easily mounted with two nails. Speeds are consistent and stable across all ports, with no drop in performance even during large file transfers or streaming Plex from Synology NAS. This switch is excellent value for the price. Highly recommended this to anyone looking for 5 Port Gigabit Unmanaged Ethernet Switch.

Build quality is great, not plastic. Easy to use, just needs 1 ethernet cable going to the router and all the rest are open for devices. No performance issues, getting expected speeds.The only issue I have is the wording/labeling used across the entire market for ethernet switches. Generally, consumers see "oh ok, I get 5 more ports I can use" when in reality, it is only 4 ports because 1 port is required for the input or connection to router. I think ethically it would be better if this wording was changed- or adding an input port on the back that is not counted. This just IMO though, I'm sure theres other usecases for a ethernet switch than just adding more available ports to use.
