TP-Link TL-SG1005D 5-Port Unmanaged Gigabit Desktop Switch – Product Review
I decided to get this switch because, IMHO, you can never have enough of these devices if you have a decently wired home. Prior to this switch I had bought two Linksys switches, and they had worked fine. So far I have not noticed any less of a performance from this somewhat cheaper switch. I also use a Linksys WiFi router, and have been very satisfied with all of these products. The switch has worked flawlessly and immediately right out of the box. I daisy-chained this switch to another one and have not noticed any signal degradation or network slowdown. I use this switch to connect various media devices in my living room: HDTV, Blu-ray player and Windows Media Center PC. The video streaming on all of those devices has been of a very high quality and smoothness. The same holds for web surfing. The switch is also very compact, which comes in handy if you want to install it in a place where you already have to deal with cable and device clutter.
These have been my observations thus far. If I discover anything else about this switch in the upcoming days and months, I’ll update this review.
