## Description

TP-Link 8 Port Gigabit Ethernet Network Switch

Review: Plug and Play... that's all there is to it. - I decided to change my wireless home camera set up to wired. Well, my router only has 4x 1Gbps LAN ports and I have my PC + 5 cameras at the moment. I wanted to just turn Wi-Fi off. I mean, Wi-Fi cams are so easy to hack. I've hacked my own and got my credentials + password. So, after having more and more neighbors move in nearby (ughhh), and knowing that I could see everything about their wireless networks, (I am a computer tech guy, I'm not naming software, but I can see who has Ring door bells, smart appliances, cameras and which routers they go to and which extenders are on that LAN). I didn't want anyone seeing me. So, wired, here I come. I have an 8 foot ( I think ) Cat8 (don't ask haha, family member had one) Ethernet cable going from my PC to router. That's port 1. Then I have port 2 going from my router to the TP-Link TL-SG108 8 Port Gigabit Switch. I bought it over the 5 port because... why not? The price was there to just go for the 8 port imo. Plus, I'm gonna fill it up eventually. Then I have the other two 1Gbps ports on my router going out to a camera. Then I have 3x cameras connected to the TL-SG108 Switch. So, so far, 4x connections. 1 from the router, 3x from cameras. Ping to cameras are still <1ms, just like the ones connected directly to the router. I'm using several 30ft and a 50ft Cat 7 ethernet cables from desertcart Basics. They work perfectly. My motherboard has 2.5Gbps Ethernet, so I would have liked to have went with a 2.5Gbps switch, but then I'd also need a 2.5Gbps Ethernet router... so yeah.. 1Gbps it is. Plus, it was way cheaper, anyways. I can't believe how cheap it is. It feels SOLID. Heavy for its size. That is ALWAYS a positive sign in the electronics world. Light electronics are cheaply made. This is not cheap. It doesn't even get warm to the touch. I'm excited and looking for more cameras to add to it haha. Oh, and yes, it's literally plug and play. It's as if all you're doing is adding more ports to your router. There is no other set up involved. To see the devices connected to the switch, you go to your router's admin page as normal. Zero set up other than plugging in the power adapter into it and then the wall. Then just plug your ethernet cable from your router to it. Now... any ethernet devices plugged into the switch will show up on your router and, as such, your home network. I'd buy more. I WANT 2.5Gbps so I'm ready to a 2.5Gbps router, but really, I'll probably have 10Gbps Ethernet on my motherboard by then. Ya can't keep up with the latest and greatest. Besides, my cameras don't come close at all to touching 1Gbps. I use H.264 encoding and they're older. For fun, I used "jpeg" encoding to hit 70Mbps, but it handled it fine. So I went back to H.264 and only run at 15Mbps combined speed. Update: I've now added another Ethernet cable to this TL-SG108 and plugged it into my Samsung SmartTV. Again, zero issues. It's handling everything I throw at it. 110% satisfied with this purchase. If I'm not careful, I'm gonna fill up all 8 ports and have to buy another one haha. Good thing my router is also powerful enough to handle all this (DIR-878). It's nothing special, but it, too, is part of the equation in handling so much data coming through the Ethernet cable that's going to the TL-SG108. I'll stop here... because I'm pretty much saying "I love it" over and over. DEFINITELY recommend it or whichever model you need with the amount of ports you need. I'd recommend future-proofing and going with the 8-port over the 5 port since you will be down 1 port from the get go since you have to plug your router into it. The price is not much more and you don't want to regret not getting the 8 port over the 5 port. BUT that depends on your needs. You may need a 5 port on one side of your house and another 5 port on the other end, I dunno. That's why I went with the 8 port... and then got some 35ft and 50ft Cat7 cables from desertcart Basics. LOVE IT!
Review: SImple, functional, inexpensive, and cool-running switch - Nice Gigabit upgrade for my old D-Link switches. The D-Links don't support a special protocol needed for ethernet backhaul between components of my wireless Mesh network, and the TP-Link switches do.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: I don't see any ports labeled uplink for connection to my other switch does this mean it no capable of being connected as an expansion switch.**
A: The question is vague. Everyone else has answered the base question, but what might be implied is that a high end server-rack quality switch will have a port that is generally the next step up from the other ports, so in this case there would be a 10Gb port for the "uplink" so as to not bottleneck the other devices trying to make full use of the 1 Gb ports.  The REALLY high end switches has a Fiber "uplink" port to completely eliminate such bottlenecks, but again, that is the realm of rack quality switches.
But yes, as everyone else stated, any port can be the uplink, usually it is the one closest to where that uplink goes. At work, I have an 8 port Gb switch. Port 8 is closest to the wall so I use that for the uplink and I use 1-7 for all my re-imaging tasks or users that need to connect to sort out a problem. For non-rack switches, you will always give up one port to the machine-gods and the rest to connect as you wish, so when shopping, always keep in mind your total ports needed equals "# of devices +1 (uplink)".

**Q: Does this switch support link aggregation ? Looking to hook up a decent Synology NAS which has two Ethernet ports to utilize the higher throughput.**
A: he TL-SG108E does support Link Aggregation. For more information on how to use this feature, please visit our official website to find the User Guide.

Regards,
TP-Link Support

**Q: I have a modem router combo and am out of ports, can I use the switch on this type of box? And if so, how do I hook it up?**
A: Yes you can. It is real easy to hook up. Hook a NIC (network) cable into one of the ports of the router and the other end plugs into the last port on the switch. You now have the rest of the ports to run other computers/smart printers or such to.

**Q: Does the TL-SG108 mount on a wall?**
A: Yes, it can be wall mounted or under a desk.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Reliable, Stable, and Feature-Rich Networking Gear
*by J***N on July 6, 2025*

Before switching to the TP-Link ER605 V2, I was restarting my cable company’s modem/router combo once or twice a week due to constant dropouts and poor Wi-Fi performance. Since installing the ER605 and putting the modem in bridge mode, it has been running flawlessly for over 3 years—the only reboot I’ve done was after making configuration changes myself. At home, I use the ER605 with a TP-Link EAP610 for Wi-Fi, managed via the OC200 controller. At another property I manage, it’s paired with a TP-Link EAP225, controlled through the Omada software running on Proxmox. The entire Omada ecosystem—covering load balancing, firewall, VPN, and network management—is stable, intuitive, and enterprise-grade yet budget-friendly. If you need more ports with VLAN control and Omada integration, the TP-Link TL-SG2008 is an excellent choice. This smart managed PoE-in switch supports VLANs, L2/L3/L4 QoS, static routing, IGMP snooping, and link aggregation. It integrates seamlessly with the ER605 and is perfect for home labs or small business networks requiring flexibility and control. If you don’t need advanced management features, the TP-Link TL-SG108 is a simple, plug-and-play option. It’s unmanaged, fanless, built tough, and just works right out of the box—ideal for quickly expanding your wired network without fuss.
