The only problem I encountered is that the network port lights are on the same side as the ports, so it is not clear which port is in use and which is not.

Having an amazing image from the 24-port, which is truly amazing, I thought of getting the 8-port for home. Initially, I liked the menu, which was similar to the 24-port. However, this one has a tragic problem. Ping ranges from 1ms to 3500ms, truly tragic. It opens web pages on the internet without freezing or any issues, LAN is okay. But if you try to play online, you simply forget about it... Tragic.

Sturdy construction. Lifetime replacement warranty.
Professional tool. I replaced all my switches with this one at home, in the store, and in the office.
It's worth its money.

Excellent switch. Heavy construction, suitable for a business environment (although I use it at home with many connected devices) and Lifetime warranty (as stated on the box).

Very good switch, very sturdy construction (weighs half a kilo) and it is all metal. It's worth its money even though 30 euros is not a lot for it. It is plug and play, you plug in the cables and it works. There are 2 lights on each port, the orange one indicating that the device is running at 10/100, while the green one indicates 1000. I have connected 6 devices to it and the connection is absolutely stable. With the old switch, which was an old Tenda, I constantly had issues. The speed on the PC was usually 10-12, while now it's consistently 12.4.
Finally, it has many settings that you can configure, either through its IP or with a program you download from TP Link. It also has QoS and you can adjust the speed on each port.
The only negative is that it takes the ethernet cables from the front and the power from the back, so it doesn't have a "good" side to place it on a desk to be visible.
