Since I have been working from home as part of the Covid-19 pandemic response, I have been using my work lap-top and a separate screen in addition to my home computer. I run both from the same Ethernet cable, but quickly grew tired of physically switching the cable between the two. There are also times when I want both to be on at the same time. Unaware that it wouldn't solve my problem, I tried a couple of cheap cable splitters before buying this Ethernet switch. Although the splitters allow both devices to be plugged in, only one can work at a time which didn't help much. However, buying this Ethernet switch has solved my problem completely. I can now have both devices running simultaneously, with no dip in performance at all, and there is still room for three more devices if I need it. It comes on each time I power up, and it just works. There was no setting up required, other than plugging the cables in and plugging it into the power supply, and for the money, I can't fault it. I'm no expert, and I don't need the levels of performance that gamers do, but as far as I can see, if you have a need to run more than one device off one Ethernet cable, then this is the device for you. I bought another TP-Link device recently and that has been perfect too, so from my experience of the company, I would recommend them and their products to anyone. The items all seem easy to set up, and they just work (and work very well). Read full review

I bought this to replace one that had failed. It was not the same as the one that failed; it is a smaller, white plastic job. My fault for not paying close attention. I was looking for a TL-SF1005D - this is not it. This has LS1005 on the box. It has an external power supply, as per the failed one. However, it does the same job and have used it to replace another one that I cannot see. I am a little concerned about the stress 3 round network cables are putting on it and may replace those with flat cables that are more flexible also use a colour one for the input (socket on wall) and grey for outgoing. 3 year warranty is says on the box so made a note in the calendar on the PC, along with a copy of the order, on the day it expires. I should have written the purchase date on the item. I have been advised that TP Link equipment does not last long. I have only had one of these switches fail so I am quite happy to use another TP Link device.Read full review

it works very well. you just need any ethernet cable & connect it into this tiny box, from there you connect the other end in to your router box. plug in the mains cable in to box, plug in other end to any plug/extension cable, etc. then you need a second ethernet cable which you plug in to any of the other 4 ports on box, & run this cable to your extra intended device, tv computer, laptop, etc. it really is simple to connect & it does work well with no loss of speed or internet connection which you can/do get without the wired connection sometimes. This is a great gadget & I fully recommend that you buy it...it really is all you need & you don't need to look elsewhere for anything else. I have 2 tv's & a PC connected to my TP-LINK5 SWITCH BOX, & they all work beautifully. no lagging on the bbc i player or itv hub at all, or on PC, whereas before it was hit & miss, & very annoying.

This Unit is as good as you get, it leaves nothing to wonder. the term plug & play is all you can say, just plug in the tranformer wire and then use any of the 5 ethernet for input or output Ethernet cables. coloured lights on each port to show a conection. simple powerfull.

I bought this switch to increase the number of network ports next to my tv as I needed to connect 4 devices to the internet. My Sky router is not in the same room as my TV so bought a TP-Link TL-WPA4220T to extend the network into my lounge via the ring main electrical wiring. I installed an old Belkin switch to increase the number of ports but this proved problematic and continually dropping connections. As soon as I plugged up the new TP-Link switch everything burst into life and has been stable without a single issue. Very pleased with my new set up and especially with the ease of installation.
