TP Link 5 Port Gigabit Switch TL-SG105S  

Thank you for actually showing hot to hook it up! All the other videos never show how....they only say it's great!! Great job in showing all of the connections!

The biggest benefit is wifi is a contention based media. Devices compete for airtime and only 1 station can transmit at 1 time. With a switch, you get full duplex with access to the media whenever you need it. I prefer hard wire everytime.

Hi, you have said correct in video.....though my router was having gigabit lan ports ..I purchased this item.....Benefit of using this tp link switch is that, network speed increases much, It never fluctuates, gives constant fixed maximum speed...

I really like your transparency for the affiliate links

Love your humor throughout! Lovely video. It is on sale right now over here in Germany and my wifi mesh extension only has 2 ports even though I need 3, so this is perfect! Thanks!

Good video liked seeing the actual set up!!

I imagine you would start to see bigger differences when you use wifi from another room.

I bought two of these units, thanks for the video!

Thank you mate! Answered all my questions. Great video!

Just bought one because i use deco mesh tower as my router. Only 3 ports. Was a handy little upgrade. I had to turn off loopback prevention because i have an ethernet running to a tplink archer c80 as a smart wifi as sometimes the smart devices dont connect to the smart dual band on the mesh

Thanks for the video, it made my mind up to go out and get one of these useful devices, my finding are exactly what's in the video, more than pleased.

Your tests were limited by your Internet connection. If you had my connection, over 900 Mb down, I bet you'd see much different results, as my WiFi beats all your connections, but it doesn't come close to a wired connection. Also, when you wall mount a switch, do not put the connectors on the top side. They're great at collecting dust, which can interfere with the connection.

Great video sir. Thank you for sharing.

Good, nice to see a Real world test, so we know the difference, not just what we are told reading a magazine 👍👍

I have the same one this is simply the best one i have ever used, internet speed is faster no drop outs, highly recommended..

This is relative on how far away the device is from the wireless router. For example my router is in the basement and , my network TV is upstairs. Over wifi6 2.4 ghz I was getting a transfer of 56 mbps down and 2 mbps up, after hooking a switch in, my TV was receiving 356 mbps down and 12 mbps up.

You want to be testing the ping mate. The wifi & Lan speed are going to look the same to the naked eye on a test like that. LAN is better in every way possible

Very helpful, thanks

You know what would have been very helpful. Having a proper speed test. For your speed test. Primarily one that shows your Ping.!!! But I guess it was helpful for demonstrating that there's no loss in performance for bandwidth under 200 MB. Which for most people. Would be enough. But will it actually perform a Gigabit.??? And how does the latency change for each of those configurations.? All questions that could have been answered. Had you chosen a proper speed test location. I mean there are plenty you can choose from. I don't know how you landed on this uninformative piece of software. Anyway. And otherwise informative video. Cheers.🍻

Thank you for an awesome review!

Does it has surge protection? I wouldn't dare to plug the cable (it's placed outdoor) from the router directly into my laptop since it'll go kaboom

NICE VIDEO THANKS FOR SHOWING!!!!!

Thank you very much

Really good video. Thanks!

Does the green light stay on when the device/console is turned off

Why do these companies put mounting screw holes on these things BUT THEN THEY DON'T GIVE YOU A TEMPLATE OR EVEN MEASUREMENTS FOR WHERE YOUR SCREWS SHOULD GO?! NOWHERE?! *Sigh* OK, I'm better now.

use standard cat6 cables and try to do wifi from another room

How much do wall plates affect the speed? Is it better to go right from switch to the pc or is a wall plate installed slow things down even more?

Thanks for this

I connected it to my router Xiaomi Router A4 it’s not connecting to router I don’t understand please answer 🙏🏾

great video thank you

Awesome vid. Appreciate showing the speeds. Can I connect the switch to another router?

my main reason to use hard wires are wireless interference

You need to list your equipment when doing tests like this. You appear to have very slow wired Ethernet. Then you should run one more test using link aggregation on the wired connection.

any idea why via this switch im getting 90mb but wifi 400 ?

Cool. Thanks for the video! I have heard in some reviews, that power adapter sounds a bit disturbing. Though, this video is one year old, maybe you do remember something. Did you notice anything? And was load any how?

Is it norm for 16-s 2 mp ip cams? Looks like its have only 3.6 mbit speed -mb not anough?

Long E, please. EEthernet. As in ether.

I have Alexa so all the stuff associated with that runs on 2.4ghz. My router like most modern ones, has duel band, and I take advantage of that by having my computer on the 5ghz band. Will this 2.4ghz/5ghz split effect performance with the switch in anyway?

Have a look for the MX pro tv boxes ?so meany about 😘

I have 3 wifi routers, can I use that as a splitter? Thanks in advance,

It would be good if you tested 4 divorces simultaneously.. Would that have put a strain on the bandwidth?

Thanks. What is the dc input voltage please?

you don't need to plug any of those ports into a router to use this. even if you do, it's still not a fib

In the 3rd config i am seeing a noticeable drop in speed. Is that just me?

What is the point of this "test" if you "tested" only with one computer connected, show me the comparison how it work with 4 clients by wifi and by cable with full load using some tools like iperf3.

Hello, I recently bought this device but I have the problem that my connection is not the same. If I connect a cable from my router to the PC, it gives a higher speed than if I connect it from the device. please I need help

Can you wire a wall Ethernet jack from a switch ?

How do you connect to the router? There is no plug

did you find any drop in speed when having multiple devices plugged into the switch?

Its also not showing ping. Thats more important

ACT = activity

does it have command line capabilities?

Great vid mate are you x army?

It's a router, not a rooter.

Cable cat5 wan a ont mal tiene que ser cat6,7y el resto cat6 puertos ethernet de lo contrario nunca alcanzarás velocidades altas según ISP

It's not a fib when you know you are going to use one of the ports for your router. That's a odd thing to think.

You internet is so slow you will never see a difference! Duh!

Router port 100 mbps????

Wifi is Problematic its affect by walls ceilings and especially thick stone walls! but is also affected your neighbor's wifi interfering with yours and yours with theirs ethernet is more stable but wifi is more convenient! Mesh wifi can help but is best conected together with ethernet!!!

speed is less important , would rather you show the ping and packet loss

If you had 2 or 3 devices plugged into the switch would it slow the signal to each device?

all good but don't like the scummy thumbnail :(

Test don't prove anything with your slow broadband...

is this comedy? you have zero idea

This is a terrible test. Everything is so close together. Your wifi and switch connection should be far away from your computer.
