TP-Link 10/100 Mbps Switch is a plain unmanaged desktop switch in 5-port and 8-port versions — the simplest way to turn one Ethernet point into several.

It does one job. Your router has four LAN ports and you have six things to plug in; or a single network point serves a room that now needs a desktop, a printer and a TV. A switch splits that one connection into five or eight, with no configuration, no login and nothing to go wrong.

It is worth being clear about what it does not do. There is no PoE, so it will not power cameras or access points — every connected device needs its own power supply. And ports run at 10/100 Mbps, not Gigabit, which is fine for internet browsing, printers, and streaming, but a real constraint for large file transfers across a local network.

Technical Specifications

5-Port or 8-Port?

Remember that one port is used by the incoming cable, so a 5-port switch connects four devices and an 8-port connects seven. If you are close to the limit, take the larger one.

1) Will this speed up my internet?

No. A switch adds ports, it does not add speed. Your internet speed is set by your connection. What it does prevent is running out of places to plug things in.

2) Can it power a CCTV camera?

No — there is no PoE on these models. Every connected device needs its own power supply. For powering cameras over the network cable, you need a PoE switch such as the LS105GP or LS110P.

3) Is 10/100 Mbps fast enough?

For internet browsing, streaming, printers and IP cameras, yes — typical home broadband and camera streams sit well within it. For moving large files between computers on your own network, Gigabit is noticeably faster. The LS1005G and LS1008G are the Gigabit equivalents.

4) How many devices can I actually connect?

One port less than the port count, because the incoming cable from your router uses one. So four devices on the LS1005, seven on the LS1008.

5) Do I need to set it up?

No. Plug the incoming cable into any port and your devices into the rest. Auto MDI/MDIX means any standard Ethernet cable works.
