TP-Link TL-SG108-M2 8 Port Gigabit Network Switch, 8x 2.5G Ethernet Switch, Metal Case, Power Saving, Plug & Play, Ethernet Splitter, Silent Operation, Desktop or Wall Mount

Brilliant switch — plug and play, no hassle. All 8 ports deliver full 2.5G speeds with zero dropouts. Feels really sturdy thanks to the metal case, and it runs silently. Perfect upgrade for anyone looking to boost their home or office network.

Does what is expected it

This switch absolutely crushes it. After running extensive iperf3 tests between my Ubuntu server and Windows workstation, I'm getting a rock-solid 2.35-2.36 Gbps - that's 94% of the theoretical maximum! What impressed me most? Zero dropped connections, zero retransmissions, and performance stays consistent whether I'm running one stream or hammering it with eight parallel connections. My file transfers now fly compared to my old gigabit setup. **Power draw is fantastic**: Only 2.8W sitting idle and 4.2W under full load. My UPS barely notices it. **The build feels solid** - no cheap plastic creaking, and it runs completely silent. After stress testing it for hours, it stayed cool and never hiccupped. This is exactly what I needed for my home lab without paying enterprise prices. If you're on the fence about upgrading from gigabit, just do it - you won't regret it. **Verified Purchase** - Tested the hell out of it so you don't have to!

This switch has been very reliable, doesn't make any noise at all, doesn't get very hot either. Would recommend.

Great, helped me tidy up my home office. Just wish there was some kind of cable management bracket fitted to help control the jungle of ethernet cables this inevitably leads to. Recommended though.

My NAS has a 2.5gb port, and now my new Deco Mesh units do too. Decided to get an adapter for my laptop to USB C to upgrade the transfer speeds on my local network back and forth to my NAS. I bought two of these switches and they were a doddle to install. One next to my Router serving all my devices downstairs that are wired (TV, PS5, etc etc) downgrading the connections to gigabit and one upstairs hardwired to the downstairs switch and interconnecting my Deco units that feeds my laptop and my NAS etc. Full 2.5gb speed connection to compatible devices and auto speed switching on the ports for the gigabit devices. Future proofed my home Network for a long time to come. Good brand, never had any trouble with my gigabit switches, so fingers crossed for these units. Says lifetime warranty on the box, so that's something else to bear in mind.

Though most consumer devices are limited to 10/100/1000M, I have several devices in my home which run 2.5/5/10G so I decided to buy this switch and see what kind of improvement I would see and instantly I saw a big improvement as the 2 main devices I purchased this for are connected at 2.5G and communicating at much faster rates than the gigabit switches I have. The data throughput is higher and sustained data transfer rate is also, the speeds are sustained longer and fluctuate less. I would recommend this switch to anyone with more than one 2.5G device in their household if they do transfer data locally among those devices or run NAS drives with 2.5/5/10G ethernet ports.

Should know by now to avoid TP-Link. Price is ok, product is decent quality. It does the job but the performance is not great and not what you would expect from a 2.5GB switch. Not much faster than my gigabit switch.

Le produit fonctionne bien mais il est livré avec une prise secteur qui n’est pas à la norme FR 😬 => inutilisable en l'état.

after about 10 months of use, the ports are no longer working

Worked great with my BE9300 mesh system to use as a backhaul to each satellite. Would buy again!

very good

Leider nur ein UK Netzteil dabei … aber ich hatte noch ein passendes
