- Owner's manual
- Power cord
A: Yes that's what I use it for my TP.
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.
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
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.
A: Yes, you can segment the network (set up a VLAN). See the TPLink website for the instructions on how to do it.
