I've been needing a network switch for a while now. My internet plan offers decent speeds, but I was tired of devices fighting for bandwidth, especially during peak hours. After some research, I decided to go with the TP-Link 5 Port 10/100 Mbps Fast Ethernet Switch, and I'm happy to report that it's been a great addition to my home network.
**Setup was a breeze.** The switch is truly plug-and-play. I simply connected it to my router and then plugged in my devices (computers, gaming consoles, smart TV) to the switch's five ports. No configuration was needed, and everything worked seamlessly right out of the box.
**Performance has been noticeably improved.** Downloads are faster, online gaming is smoother, and video streaming is uninterrupted. The 100 Mbps speed might not be the latest gigabit technology, but it's a significant upgrade from my previous setup and more than enough for my needs.
**I also appreciate the compact design.** The switch is small and lightweight, so it fits easily on my desk without taking up too much space. It also runs silently, which is a plus since it's located in my living room.
**Here are some additional points that I like:**
* **Auto-MDI/MDIX:** This means I don't need to worry about using crossover cables, which simplifies things even further.
* **Energy-efficient:** The switch uses less power than traditional unmanaged switches, which is good for the environment and my wallet.
* **Affordable:** I found the TP-Link switch to be very budget-friendly, especially considering its performance and ease of use.
**Overall, I'm very pleased with the TP-Link 5 Port 10/100 Mbps Fast Ethernet Switch.** If you're looking for a simple and affordable way to expand your home network and improve your internet speeds, I highly recommend this product. It's been a reliable and hassle-free solution for me.
**Just a few things to keep in mind:**
* This switch only offers 10/100 Mbps speeds, so if you have a gigabit internet plan, you'll need a different model.
* It's an unmanaged switch, which means you don't have any advanced configuration options. If you need more control over your network, you'll need a managed switch.
But for most home users, this TP-Link switch is a great option. It's easy to use, delivers noticeable performance improvements, and is very affordable.

Received heavily used item with smudges, but it works fine.
I needed a basic cheap network switch for a back room. When I opened the box, I could see it had been opened before with dirty smudges on the case. I was concerned it would be defective. I plugged it in and it seems to work okay, so I kept it. The product works as advertised, but I'm upset that I paid for a new item and got a very used and dirty item instead, so I took off one star for the vendor. It's very obvious the seller did not examine the product before selling it as a new item.

Fácil de instalar solo conectas tu conexión que sale de tu router principal en el puerto 1 y los puertos restantes ya son para conectar tus dispositivos conectas a la corriente eléctrica y ya no tienes que configurar nada adicional, automáticamente ya inicia a trabajar.
