This is the real deal. It comes with full and half height brackets.
You really can't go wrong with this network adapter. No problems with Windows 10 and AMD motherboard. Installed with Windows Update driver.
As advertised. Plugged it in a week ago, works without any issues.
Every Saturday I run full backups of 3 drives and a subvolume over 7 hours, beginning with a 4-hour backup-and-compare of a MacBook Pro over my LAN. For a period of 4 weeks earlier this summer, the Mac Pro "backup server" computer was getting a "network connection timeout" after about 2 hours of backup. With this pair of Gbps switches replacing my old Netgear Gbps switches, the LAN backup-and-compare runs to completion.
I was instantly able to take advantage of my new 2000mbps internet service.
Low Cost Plug n Play
Instant communication and detection between units (have 6 total upstairs and downstairs).
Quality build - in a full metal case the build quality is excellent. Size - at just over 11 inches long and a height of just under 1 inch it can be mounted underneath or on the back of your computer desk. No wasted space - the case is only slightly larger than the area for ports. Easy to mount - a couple of screws to mount it
Great Price for an 8 port gigabit ethernet switch.
Easy set up, fast speeds, easy Network management from one place
USB C Port speed seems good, I was only able to test with a M.2 USB C SSD enclosure I had laying around. Got read speeds up to 880 Megabytes per second (around 7000 Megabits per second)
When it comes to setup, companies like TP-Link have put in a lot of effort into making the setup seamless and as painless as possible. That being said to get this device setup and on my network, it took me about two minutes to do. You really can’t get much simpler than that. The web interface is the same as any other TP-Link smart switch which is nice that there is consistency there. What’s in the box: Manuals/Tec Information External power brick Software CD Rubber feet Usage: Using this device is very easy to do and if you don’t want to use the web interface you can use the easy smart configuration utility that comes on a cd. This switch supports all different kinds of features that make it idea for a small company or home user. Vlans,QoS, Gigabyte, PoE, and much more. One feature to note with this device is its ability to sense when its PoE ports are being overused or stressed too much. Then device can detect if too much power is being drawn and when this happens it will shut off the fourth PoE port to protect itself. This is a nice feature that I am glad they added in.
Provides power Looks Good Feels Solid
+ Nice sleek slim design + 12 v, 2.5 amp DC power provided for charging + Power On/Off button + Inlcuded interface cable + 2year TP-Link 24/7 Warranty
Just being able to test cables and see TX/RX stats alone is worth the extra couple bucks vs. unmanaged. The other features, particularly port mirroring, are icing on the cake.
