5 Port Gigabit Desktop Switch

Good

best quality

自宅の回線を10Gbps対応にしたタイミングでルーターを交換し、有線機器を増やすためにこちらのスイッチングハブを導入しました。ルーターもTP-Link製なので、メーカーを揃えてみました。 まず、金属筐体なので安っぽさがなく、手に取るとしっかりした作りです。放熱性も良さそうで、ファンレスながら発熱も気になりません。 設定は一切不要で、LANケーブルを挿すだけですぐ使えるのも便利。PCやNAS、ゲーム機など複数の機器を接続していますが、通信が不安定になったり速度低下を感じたりすることもなく、非常に安定しています。 以前は他メーカーのネットワーク機器で接続不良や不具合に悩まされたことがありましたが、最近はルーターもハブもTP-Link製で揃えてからトラブルがほとんどなくなりました。 5ポートあれば一般家庭なら十分使いやすく、金属筐体で耐久性も期待できます。特にこだわりがなければ、ネットワーク機器はTP-Linkを選んでおけば安心感があると感じています。 「余計な設定をしたくない」「安定して使えるギガビットハブが欲しい」という方にはおすすめできる製品です。価格も手頃で、購入して正解でした。

Said it before; excellent products, great value for money, always work. Easy to set up.

Werkt goed, compleet, degelijk en goede prijs

Edit 11/21/2025: I periodically like to perform check-ins on my previous reviews. Over 3 years later I am happy to say this thing still works flawlessly. Haven't encountered a single hiccup. Very consumer friendly and is truly "set it and forget it". ----------------- First off I need to mention that Amazon asked me to rate 3 "features": 'WiFi signal', 'Tech Support', and the 'User Interface'. Let me be clear that this device does not use WiFi and it does not have it's own local IP address to let you log into a "User Interface". Just wanted to point this out in case you come across other reviews that have these two "features" rated that could be misleading you. I recently built a house and had it wired for Cat 6 Ethernet, with there being 1 wall port in each room. One room in particular I have a desktop PC and an Xbox that I wanted both to have a wired internet connection to which is what required the purchase of this device. It is extremely easy to set up, and with it being "unmanaged", there was no portal I needed to sign into that would require me to mess with settings. It's a very simple "plug-and-play" set up, you simply need to connect an incoming ethernet cable from your router/modem (in any port) and then you can now share that internet connection to 4 other wired devices - that's all there is to it. One important note is this: if you have a modem-only device (these devices usually only have a single ethernet port on the back) then you are probably needing a router - not a switch. A router is capable of assigning your devices their own internal IP addresses via DHCP - which is important if you don't know how to assign them yourself. It's also what manages your NAT for situations your devices may need to use the same internet port number. While you don't necessarily need to know what all of this means, you need to understand that a switch is not a replacement for a router. If you are a consumer (as opposed to a business) then you're likely considering this switch to extend/add more ports than what your router has (they usually have around 4 or 5). Even the devices that are connected directly to this switch will still be getting their local IP addresses assigned from your router. The benefit of this switch over a "hub" is that it knows how to route your internet traffic to your devices. So even though it's not responsible for assigning IP addresses to your devices, it knows how to route specific traffic to the devices that require it. It does so lightning-fast - I notice absolutely no additional latency (which is great for gaming) and no compromise in speed either. If you're on the market for a small unmanaged switch, then this is an affordable and excellent choice... A hub, on the other hand, will route all traffic it receives to all devices that are connected to it (they do not 'switch' traffic to specific devices), which essentially requires the devices themselves to ignore the traffic it doesn't want. It adds additional overhead and can potentially cause dropped packets and they just essentially add additional network congestion. I could see a hub being used for something like printers or IoT devices where latency isn't critical, but I think it's ultimately beneficial to just not use them at all even though they might look similar to a switch. And as I've said above, this device does not contain WiFi. You cannot connect this wirelessly to any device. You would be able to purchase a separate device that would connect to this to transmit a wifi signal, but this will not do it on its own.

a good quality switch for cheapest price, you can't ask for more for the quality this offers for the price.
