Hi. The "Link/Act" text on the fifth port means Link/Activity, and not Link/Account, and it refers to the indicator led on all the ports. It's only placed on top of port5 because of lack of space above the other ports

Sorry for bumping this comment but does that mean the 5th port is totally equal to other ones unlike what's being said in the video?

It functions like all the others. By convention, it is the one you use for uplink. I'm not sure if this has more capacity (it is a separate module after all), and therefore better suited for uplink. The module seperation is likely just because the port modules comes in 4-port and 1-port configurations. You'll see this in any switch and router

Link = Solid Activity = Flashing They just so happen to put it over the last port's led. And the last port isn't joined with the rest since they're not grouped in 5's. All the ports are equal. It just appears to stand out because of these reasons.

I have 4 ports on my router that are already wired to rooms and devices, but seeing this I will now be able to wire up every room in the house, and If it does drop a little , who cares? at 900 Mbps I could drop 200Mbps and still be getting more than enough, but more importantly with this little switch I will be getting to use the Internet Bandwith that I have already paid for in each room .

"Link Account port" LOL. that is just the label of all the LEDs (link/activity). On a domestic unmanaged switch all ports are the same, you just create the habit to use the first or last port to use as uplink to a router, sort of mimicking what you do on an enterprise switch that usually uses the last port as uplink, some models even have a separate uplink port.

Thank you for the video. I was really puzzled though about your findings on the performance tests you ran. I mean, I would expect there to be some impact on adding a switch to the mix, but the drop from 219Mbps to 166Mbps seems way too much. That's a loss of roughly 25%! Are you sure one of the cables used in your test was in perfect working condition? Thank you.

It was a older cable, it also could vary based on network congestion.

Any port on the tp-link here can be used as an input or an output.

Great write up thank you. My only gripe with tp-link is that they didn't include a network cable. which adding this we will need. my only questions that were unanswered is that i use a mix of static and dynamic ips and wondered how this router handles that.

In truth I'm not entirely sure. I do not run a setup like that at my house. However this particular tp-link is an unmanaged solution so anything that you have set up this should just act as a pass-through.

That just happened to all be on the same wall. If you have any advice please send it my way. I haven’t gotten the cat8 cable but I was thinking for future proof that would be the way to go.

@@thatkidhector You should be fine with a Cat 6 cable. Cat8 is expansive for the speed you get from it. Based on the speed you are getting from your router Cat6 is more then enough.

I’ve connected my wire in the wall to the Link port on this switch. The four remaining ports I have a Ethernet running from the switch to my laptop, all working fine. In another port on the switch, I have a mesh device connected. Problem here is the mesh device isn’t working. I’m trying to figure this out and all the technical guides are confusing to understand.

Is this the main mesh hub that you have plugged into this? Do you have a mesh device that is a modem/router in one? If not you would need to come off the modem first then into this which could be linked to your mesh device.

Thanks for your response, I appreciate it. I am not sure if its the main mesh hub. I live in a shared house with 4 floors. On each floor there are these mesh devices plugged in from the network wires in the wall. The routers are locked away in storage, so I have no idea of telling. If it helps, I am using a TP-Link SG105S switch and the mesh devices are UniFi 6 Lite devices. @@Wanderer001_Reviews

If this switch is connected to the router on the mesh network, will it see or exceed the speeds you were getting? I get about 380 Mbps down from my ISP. I was only going to connect my desktop to it. Modem/router combo (in bridge mode) > TP-Link Deco X20 mesh router > switch > PC. I'm assuming I'll get the full speed. Thoughts?

If it is part of a mesh you should get very close to full ISP speeds.

Idk if you’re here but my house already has a router but my room is too far to connect an ethernet cord to my laptop, would I be able to buy this to be able to increase my ping? How would it work?

Well this would still connect to your computer via either net. It plugs into your router to give you more ports, then you would attache something to this box via either net. Sound like you might do better with a wifi mesh network. If you did that you could have one of the mesh nodes in your room and run either net right off of that.

I have data cabling throughout the house coming from my router connected to the fiber optic Australian Nation Broadband Network box. I plugged it into one of my ethernet ports and nothing. I am returning this crap. I also did not come with an ethernet cable appropriate for this device to plug into either a modem or data cabling port.
