## Description

From the manufacturer What This Product Does The TP-LINK 8 10/100/1000Mbps Desktop Switch TL-SG108 provides you an easy way to make the transition to gigabit Ethernet. Increase the speed of your network server and backbone connections, or make gigabit to the desktop a reality. Moreover, TL-SG108 adopts lower power consumption design. With the innovative energy-efficient technology, the TL-SG108 can save up to 82 per cent of the power consumption, making it an best solution for your home or office network. Gigabit switch Featured with 8 10/100/1000Mbps ports, TL-SG108 greatly expands your network capacity, enabling instant large files transferring. So，power users in the home, office, workgroup, or creative production environment can now move large, bandwidth-intensive files faster. Transfer graphics, CGI, CAD, or multimedia files across the network instantly. Go green with your ethernet You now have the choice to go green when upgrading to a gigabit network! This new generation TL-SG108 features the latest innovative energy-efficient technologies that can greatly expand your network capacity with much less power. It automatically adjusts power consumption according to the link status and cable length to limit the carbon footprint of your network. Traffic optimization 802.1p and DSCP QoS1 enable smooth latency-sensitive traffic such as voice and video, and IGMP Snooping1 optimizes the Multicast data stream. Easy to use The auto features of this gigabit switch make installation plug and play and hassle-free. No configuring is required. Auto MDI/MDIX eliminate the need for crossover cables. Auto-negotiation on each port senses the link speed of a network device (either 10, 100, or 1000 Mbps) and intelligently adjusts for compatibility and optimal performance.

Review: Easy set up, and great performance - This AC1200 is amazingly good for the price point. Straight out the box it's ready to go via the WPS set-up (which is an absolute doddle). Brought this to solve a dead zone we had upstairs - broadband router on the ground floor (at the front of the house), smart TV in the loft conversion, so 3rd floor (at the back of the house). Previously the signal strength wasn't strong/stable enough to run video streaming services on the TV. AC1200 therefore purchased, and plugged into a power socket in the hallway of the 2nd floor. Result: perfect strong signal in the entire upstairs floors, no drop-outs or degradation of signal experienced. Ample speed and stability to access streaming services. Very happy as it solved our problem.
Review: Simple, small, functional, what more do we need? - The metal cased TP-Link 8 port Gigabit TL-SG108 1000/100/10 switch works perfectly straight out of the box. No set-up is required. It auto-senses the cable connection and interfaces correctly to both T568A and T568B wiring of the cables, so there is no need for 'crossover' leads. The power supply is a small 9V plug-top unit that barely thinks about getting warm. Measured current from a 9V bench power supply was 85mA (765mW) with no ports connected, rising to 120mA (1080mW) all ports connected but no traffic, during a 7GByte 1000Mb/s backup between two long-wire ports the current peaked at roughly 230mA (~2W) but varied. Much, much better than the old 100/10 hub it replaces which always took about 350mA (~2.6W) at 7.5V 24/7 and also had an inefficient hot mains brick. The LED lights on the front edge, two adjacent to each of the eight sockets indicate activity in the normal way; solid for connected and flashing for data transfer, the green LED for 1000Mb/s and the yellow LED for 100/10Mb/s. There is also a separate green LED showing when the power is correct. I would have preferred the lights to be on the other side from all of the leads as with the version (9.0) of the TP-Link SF1005D (not shown on Az now) I bought in 2012, or on the top as with this version TP-Link SF1005D I bought in 2011, but I understand why it was done here. A couple of keyhole slots in the base of the metal box enable one to mount it on a pair of no6 countersink-head woodscrews to allow tidy routing of the cables. The four rubber feet help to prevent it from sliding off the screws. The 8 port box is 100mm x 160mm x 28mm. My house usually has no wi-fi; the CAT5E LAN is all hard-wired and this new switch living next to the big PC, a media server and the network printer, replaces a previous and out-of-date 100/10Mb/s generic unit from Maplin. The network is mixed traffic, mostly Gigabit, but still some old 100Mb/s Ethernet. The new switch handles it all at full duplex with no problems, and I have noticed a slight increase in the speed of the 100Mb/s transfers as well. I bought this after several months of positive experience with its little brother the TL-SG105 and the TD-W8970 router . As usual, I took the lid off to have a look inside (my work used to include designing high speed electronics) and it is nicely made with good quality components and proper attention to screening and track layout. Recommended. Addendum. Be aware that on this product page either Az or TP-Link has stupidly mixed up all the reviews for all the different varieties of TP Link switches, 24, 16, 8 and 5 port, Gigabit or not, metal and several versions of plastic cases, even for switches no longer available, and they have different performance and best uses. But cut to the chase, and simply go for the latest versions of the metal boxed Gigabit switches.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this the v2 version?**
A: I know this is late answering this question, however for others who are currently interested in which version is supplied: 
Just ordered this and received - June 2018 and have been supplied the V3 version.

**Q: Has anyone ordered an 8 port recently and actually received the easy smart (v5) as opposed to the unmanaged pro (v4)?**
A: Yes, mine is V5, and I manage it with TP link smart config utility.

**Q: Can this be mounted on the underside of a desk, and if so: How?**
A: It can be mounted by using 2 small screws almost the same as hanging up a clock. The corresponding holes are on the bottom of the device. My personal view is that the v6 can be left on the desk top with no issues as it looks quite smart.

**Q: For connecting two tp-link tl-sg108 switches do we need crossover ethernet cable?**
A: No, just a straight cable.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good, easily disguisable, functional wifi extender - easy'ish to install.
*by J***E on 1 November 2022*

Purchased to extend signal in a traditional built house, where wifi just did not extend to all parts. I'd choosen this extender as it was smaller and less intrusive than others. Due to be placed in socket on the wall of my hall landing i didn't want anything that 'stood out like a sore thumb'. This sits neatly and non obviously to the extent you wouldn't know it was there unless you really looked. Exactly what i was looking for Install is easy enough, however found it did take a little time. Once complete, up and running with ease This product certainly does extend the signal, to those areas it did not do before. On occasion, the signal does drop despite no obvious reason. I don't find it a major issue though, when it drops, it back up and running with a second or 2. Overall it's a great product, easily disguisable yet functional, for a good price.
