Review: Finally, An Easy Way to Get More Than 1 Gigabit - Upgraded my home Internet to 2 gigabit fiber, and home fileserver with SSD storage, so I bought the TP-Link 8-port TL-SG108-M2 and 5-port TL-SG105-M2 to upgrade my home network to multi-gigabit speed. It was easy to swap my old gigabit switches with these TP-Link 2.5 giggers, using my existing ethernet cables. Per-port lights made it obvious which ports run at 2.5 gigabit, 1 gigabit, and 100 megabit. I loved the fan-less design - zero noise coming from these TP-Link switches. I will never buy a fan-based switch again - they collect dust, and eventually die unless kept clean. Speed: Tested throughput extensively using iperf3 on the local network, and speedtest.net for Internet speed. LAN (local network) bandwidth tests reliably 2.3 gigabit average between two computers. Same speed when 2 computers are on the same switch, and when they are connected switch-to-switch. This was a HUGE improvement over a gigabit network which maxed out at about 0.95 gigabits. Was worried whether my investment would actually get close to 2.5 gigabit, especially switch-to-switch, but they did! Two TP-Link switches are linked with a 40-foot in-wall Cat-6 cable, and computers can get 2.3 gigabit between the two switches. Internet speed tested at 2.0 gigabit download and 910 megabit upload with Google Fiber 2 Gig! The TP-Links were fully backward compatible with 1 gigabit and 100 megabit devices and switches. Connected various slower devices including a gigabit switch (1gig), a Ubiquiti AC Lite AP (1gig), a printer (100meg), and voice-over-IP box (100meg). Heat: These TP-Link switches get slightly warm but never hot. Ethernet Adapters: Using Sabrent 2.5 Gigabit NT-S25G USB 3.0 adapters on all my computers, since none of my computers came with 2.5 gigabit as of mid-2021. I had some auto-negotiation issues on bootup, where the adapter would sync at 100 mbit or 1 gbit (not 2.5gig) when the adapter powered on. After boot, I would manually adjust the driver's speed setting from auto-negotiate to 2.5 gigabit, or 2.5 gigabit to auto-negotiate, which would re-sync at 2.5-gig with the switch. Contacted Sabrent support who also believed the issue was with the latest Realtek driver, a fix may be coming soon. Another reviewer here believed the TP-Links are responsible for auto-negotiate issues, it may be a TP-Link issue but I'm not sure. When I connected my TP-Link 2.5 gig switches to each other, they always synced at 2.5 gig. Same with the Google Fiber router's 1/2.5/5/10 port which always auto-negotiated at 2.5 gig. Only my Realtek-chip adapters would sync at lower speed on initial power-on. I figured out that by plugging my 2.5gig adapters into always-on USB 3.0 ports via USB 3.0 hub, kept the adapters locked at 2.5 gigabit even after the PC rebooted. When my adapters did sync at lower speed, a quick re-sync of the driver would fix it. On Windows, Network Connections (Control Panel), double-click the adapter, Configure, Advanced tab, Speed & Duplex, switch it to "2.5 gig full" or "auto-negotiate", either will trigger the adapter to re-try its link to the TP-Link. On Linux, after boot, run: ethtool -s enx002341234567 autoneg on advertise 0x80000000002f (replacing the enx002... with your device name) Ethernet Cables: My rooms have Jadaol flat Cat-6 cables that range in length from 1-foot to 25-feet, all worked with 2.5 gigabit. My home had professionally-installed Cat-6 in-wall cabling, with some cable lengths up to 40 feet long, all worked with 2.5 gigabit. Is this worth the price: If your Internet speed is more than 1 gigabit, then yes! If you transfer files between computers that have SSDs capable of more than 125 megabytes per second, then yes! Otherwise, no. One gigabit is plenty fast for nearly everyone's needs. If you do buy one, you can keep your existing 1 gig switch for your gigabit devices, and plug your multi-gigabit devices into one of these TP-Link 2.5 giggers. Review: Works great for basic 2.5gb in the home! - Using this as a backbone switch in my new home to enable 2.5gb and it works great! No configuration so nothing to go wrong. It's living in the non climate controlled garage and has never gotten too hot. Made of metal and seems to be high build quality. The wall mounts make it really easy to tuck away in the home and it links up to both 2.5gb and 1gb easily! ## Features - ๐„๐ข๐ ๐ก๐ญ ๐Ÿ.๐Ÿ“๐†๐›๐ฉ๐ฌ ๐๐จ๐ซ๐ญ๐ฌ ๐Ÿ๐จ๐ซ ๐’๐ฎ๐ฉ๐ž๐ซ-๐…๐š๐ฌ๐ญ ๐‚๐จ๐ง๐ง๐ž๐œ๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง๐ฌ: 8ร— 2.5-Gigabit ports unlock the highest performance with Multi-Gig bandwidth and provide up to 40 Gbps of switching capacity. - ๐€๐ฎ๐ญ๐จ-๐๐ž๐ ๐จ๐ญ๐ข๐š๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง: Auto-negotiation intelligently senses the link speeds and adjusts between 3-speeds (100Mb/1G/2.5G) for compatibility and optimal performance for all your devices, including 2.5G WiFi 6 AP, 2.5G NAS, 2.5G PCIe Adapter, 2.5G Server, gaming computer, 4K video, and more. - ๐‡๐š๐ฌ๐ฌ๐ฅ๐ž-๐…๐ซ๐ž๐ž ๐‚๐š๐›๐ฅ๐ข๐ง๐ : Instantly upgrade to 2.5 Gbps performance without the need to upgrade to Cat6 wiring, reducing wiring costs and hassle.

The Easy Smart variation offers some basic management features such as QoS for a Lag-Free Experience, IGMP Snooping for Multicast Optimization, and VLAN for Security. **Q: Are all ports capable of 1000mbps?** A: Yes all ports are capable of 1000mbps. Ex: My home internet download speed is 400mbps, I use cat6a cable for all connections starting from modem to router to switch and finally to all wired devices. All ports have green lights when device is on indicating it is running anywhere from 101mbps to 1000mbps then when I go to speed net I can check my speed on each device and am getting my full 400mbps that I am paying for. When I turn device off lights turn orange indicating speeds lower than 100mbps because my port is off and inactive. **Q: can I connect with ethernet cable to my fire stick tv and my laptop and use them both at the same time?** A: Yes. You can plug an Ethernet cord from your modem into this box and then cables from it to 4 devices to share your connection. **Q: What port would you plug the lan cable coming from the router into on the 24 port gigaswitch ?** A: All the ports of an Unmanaged Ethernet Switch are plug and play. You can, therefore, plug into any of the 24 ports. ## Customer Reviews ### โญโญโญโญโญ Finally, An Easy Way to Get More Than 1 Gigabit *by A***D on June 14, 2021* Upgraded my home Internet to 2 gigabit fiber, and home fileserver with SSD storage, so I bought the TP-Link 8-port TL-SG108-M2 and 5-port TL-SG105-M2 to upgrade my home network to multi-gigabit speed.

I don't think it's worth the money. I woke up one morning and my network was down, and I looked at the switch, and the only light that was on was the power light. There were no activity lights on any of the ports. I had ethernet cables connected to... so my switch died. ## Frequently Bought Together - TP-Link TL-SG108-M2 - 8 Port Multi-Gigabit Unmanaged Network Switch, Ethernet Splitter, ๐Ÿฎ.๐Ÿฑ๐—š๐—ฏ Bandwidth, Plug & Play Desktop/Wall-Mount Fanless Metal Design - TP-Link 2.5GB PCIe Network Card (TX201) โ€“ PCIe to 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet Network Adapter, Supports Windows 11/10/8.1/8/7, Win Server 2022/2019/2016, Linux - TP-Link TL-SG105S-M2 | 5-Port Multi-Gigabit 2.5G Ethernet Switch | Unmanaged Network Switch | Ethernet Splitter | Plug & Play | Desktop/Wall Mount | Silent Operation --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - ๐Ÿ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** โ€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - ๐ŸŒ **Shop Globally** โ€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - ๐Ÿ’ฐ **No Hidden Fees** โ€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - ๐Ÿ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** โ€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - ๐Ÿ”’ **Secure Payments** โ€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - โญ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** โ€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.it/products/295075158-tl-sg108-m2-8-port-multi-gigabit-unmanaged-network-switch](https://www.desertcart.it/products/295075158-tl-sg108-m2-8-port-multi-gigabit-unmanaged-network-switch) --- *Product available on Desertcart Italy* *Store origin: IT* *Last updated: 2026-05-15*
