Q: Is this an "Unmanaged" Switch device?

A: I'm just using it in default mode but I know it can be configured to do things like add or strip VLAN tags on the ports, etc, because I know someone else who is using one that way.

Q: Does it matter what brand you get of port extender

A: If you are looking for a simple, unmanaged network switch that supports Gigabit Ethernet connectivity, this model will work just fine and is universally compatible with routers that provide Ethernet connections.

Q: Can I run a line from my modem to this and then run another line out of this to run 2 devices ?

A: If by modem you mean combo modem/router then yes, that is what this device is for. If you're trying to split the signal before it gets to a router, this device isn't going to work for you.

Q: I have a modem and router combo from Century Link. Can I plug this in one of the modem router ports and get extra ports out of that setup?

A: Absolutely! Simply connect the switch to one of the LAN ports on your CenturyLink gateway to provide additional Ethernet connectivity to your home. Regards, TP-Link Support

Q: I got this because I want to have more speed to my computer, but I also have wifi. Is is router>wifi>switch>PC or router>switch>wifi&PC?

A: Both will work. More speed is possible only if you can get wired connection from the switch and True speed depends on the internet plan.

Q: Can this switch provide power over ethernet?

A: Hi! No, the TL-SG105E is not a PoE switch. For a PoE alternative, please consider our TL-SG105PE model instead.

    Simple - It Works

    I have a single Ethernet cable near my TV & XBOX. I wanted both to use a cable rather than wifi - for performance reasons. (I wanted to see 4K Netflix on TV) I bought this. When I read the directions there were several options that sounded complex. I finally decided to just plug everything in and see what happens. It worked perfectly. I now have that single cable supporting 3 devices. Performance is perfect, installation is simple.
