Review: The Best 5-Port Gigabit Unmanaged Switch? - I knew nothing about switches other than that I needed two of them. I have a Draytek router which, like most routers, has a built in 4 port switch. The problem with mine, a 2820n, is that only one of these LAN ports is gigabit, and I needed three at the router location, and four more in another room where various items are connected to a Devolo dLAN 1200+ WiFi, which only has two gigabit LAN ports for wired connections. Having put a lot of effort and expense into having PCs, Macs, iPads and home entertainment boxes working just the way I want them, I didn't want everything messed up by probably the cheapest bit of electronics in the system, so I started googling (actually DuckDuckGo-ing) switches to find out what was available and well considered. Most tech sites advised that, these days, almost any unmanaged switch will do the job perfectly well, with the only common advice being to consider getting one with a metal case for extra durability. All that was left was to sort the available switches by average customer review on desertcart, and look at people's real life experiences.This TRENDnet was by no means the only choice, but was well liked by network engineers and people who obviously understood switches, which I certainly didn't. It also makes much of its GREENnet technology for which it claims 70% power savings, reducing power supplied to unused ports, ports with equipment that's turned off, and to shorter cable lengths. It looked like a good choice, and I ordered two. I'd noted some reviews saying how small the units are, but I was unprepared for the tiny little thing nestling in its much larger cardboard box. People have also commented on which hardware revision they were supplied: mine were UK models V3.1R. There is now a V4.0R, but the main difference seems to be the front panel, which now has one row of multi purpose LEDs instead of two rows, one for connection and one for gigabit speed, on V3.1R. Apart from the switch, the box contained a UK power supply, an instruction booklet, and a pad of rubber feet. The box itself has a mass of technical information for those who understand it, and the welcome if surprising statement that this cheap little switch comes with a 3 year warranty and 24/7 tech support! The back panel has the power socket, and five gigabit ports. I connected a short Cat6A patch cable from the router's gigabit port to the TRENDnet's port #1, and then, to begin with, my main PC to port #2, the Devolo 1200+ Powerline to #3, and then plugged it into the mains. The switch is Plug & Play, and no configuration is needed or possible. It was immediately obvious that something wasn't right. I had both green lights on for the router and Devolo connections, indicating that both were connected at gigabit speeds, but only one green light for the PC, meaning that it was connected but only at Fast Ethernet speed. I unplugged the PC from #2 and transferred it to #4 and promptly got the two green lights. Given the price of the switch, and the fact I didn't need all five ports at the moment, I was tempted to just carry on with the configuration that worked, but having seen the offer of a 24/7 helpline, I thought I'd give it a go. I went to the UK website, and the first pleasant surprise was an 0800 phone number! The call was answered straight away, and after being routed through a couple of options to get me to the right person, I found myself speaking to a very polite tech person within 60 seconds of dialing. Of course, I might have just got lucky and phoned at a quiet time, but even so! The tech gentleman apologized for needing to take some details, and then asked for the problem. He asked me to plug the PC into the as yet unused port #5, which worked as it should, and then back into the original port #2. Embarrassingly this port now also worked perfectly. It was my turn to apologize for wasting his time, but he couldn't have been nicer, gave me a tech support ticket number and told me to phone back with any further questions or problems. I then unpacked the second switch, and, long story short, everything worked perfectly first time. I've only just bought these switches, so I can't comment on how long they will keep working, but with a 3 year warranty that shouldn't be a problem. Apart from that, I can't imagine how an unmanaged gigabit switch could be any better. You need to use cables that are at least Cat5e, and as with all 5 port switches, one port is used to connect to the source of the signal, the router, other switch etc, so you will have four expansion ports. If this isn't enough, consider an 8 port switch, a bit bigger and a bit more expensive. Your network devices will need to support gigabit speeds, sometimes written as 1000 Mbit/s, to take advantage of the best possible speed, but if they are the slower Fast Ethernet standard, sometimes 10/100 Mbit/s, such as a Sky box, most Blu Ray players etc, they will still work but no faster than their own lower maximum speed. So, thoroughly recommended, a genuine 5 star buy.
Review: Perfect for my needs - These little gigabit switches are great. They are practically plug and play. They are metal which in today's standard of plastic everything is a ray of light. I bought two of these little beauties to connect a xbox one, PVR, desertcart Fire TV and Router via a Gigabit powerline plug to the top floor of my 3 storey house to also connect my Desktop pc, Xbox 360 , Home media server, Smart Tv so they can all see each other and stream from the internet or media server without issue and I can happily say it works fantastic without issue. I know the brand name is relatively unknown but all brands need to start somewhere and at least this one is stepping out of the norm to deliver a quality little item at a great price.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can I plug wireless router to add wireless options ?**
A: That is how people generally use switches...connected to a router. Consider a switch like adding another hand to your body to increase usable fingers. A hand (switch) without a brain (router) to actually determine ip addresses is not very useful.

**Q: Does this have 2 LED's per port or 1? The one I just received (V4.0R hardware) only has 1 (without a speed indicator).**
A: The TEG-S50g 5 port model has 1 led per port.  The color of the LED specifies the speed and blinking represents traffic.  Two values using one LED.

**Q: Is a 5 foot cable really the minimum length as per the manual? Anyone test for packet loss with jumpers?**
A: I'm using 2 ft jumpers to connect from a Patch Panel to the TrendNet switch . . .    I didn't see anything in the manual about min. 5 feet cable, but I wasn't reading word-for-word   --   I'm guessing that is the length needed for the Switch to detect a short cable and lower transmission to be more power "green."

**Q: Can the power supply of this switch able to handle 230V/50Hz AC input i.e. is it a universal power supply?**
A: I have two of these and power supply was 120v only .. output 7.5v

These little gigabit switches are great. They are practically plug and play. They are metal which in today's standard of plastic everything is a ray of light. I bought two of these little beauties to connect a xbox one, PVR, Amazon Fire TV and Router via a Gigabit powerline plug to the top floor of my 3 storey house to also connect my Desktop pc, Xbox 360 , Home media server, Smart Tv so they can all see each other and stream from the internet or media server without issue and I can happily say it works fantastic without issue.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works great
*by N***W on 2 September 2014*

This is the first network switch that I have bought for myself, and I am very happy with it, I have an Internet connection going in one port and three other devices connected to use the connection and it works great, don't get interference between packets and had no problems at all. A nice thing I would like to add is this switch can run 24/7 and not even get warm at all, very good product. Another nice thing is the metal chassis feels great to the touch be a long way compared to a plastic product, very much worth the little extra (or less sometimes thanks to Amazon price changes all the time XD). Highly recommend to anyone, I use it as a networking hub for my room at home and works perfectly had no issues yet and doubt I will.
