I needed more wired Ethernet ports in my home setup, and the TP-Link LiteWave 5-Port Gigabit Desktop Switch delivered exactly what I expected. It was truly plug-and-play — I connected it to my router and instantly had five additional Gigabit ports ready to use, with no configuration required. The connections feel stable and fast whether I’m streaming, gaming, or transferring files. The fanless design keeps it silent, and its compact size fits easily on a shelf or desk without getting in the way. If you want a no-nonsense way to expand wired network ports with gigabit speeds, this switch is a dependable and affordable solution. ✔ Simple setup, reliable performance, and ideal for home or small office networking.

I picked up the TP‑Link LiteWave 5‑Port Gigabit Ethernet Switch on sale for about $10, and even though I haven’t needed to use it yet, I decided to keep it because of how well‑built it feels. The unit looks professional and solid, with a sturdy metal exterior that doesn’t feel cheap at all. I haven’t plugged it into my home network long‑term, but from what I’ve seen and what many other users note, this switch does exactly what it’s supposed to do — expand wired network ports with reliable Gigabit speeds, without needing any configuration. It’s plug‑and‑play, so you can connect devices and expect consistent performance right away. Reviews from other buyers commonly highlight that: • It performs reliably as a basic unmanaged switch. • It stays cool and quiet even with multiple devices connected. • It’s perfect for adding extra Ethernet ports for consoles, PCs, routers, cameras, or smart home gear. For the price I paid (~$10), this is an excellent deal. You won’t get advanced features like managed switching, VLANs, or Power‑over‑Ethernet (PoE), but for a simple, dependable unmanaged switch, it’s exactly what most people need. TP‑Link has a solid reputation for networking gear, and this switch reflects that — it’s straightforward, efficient, and built to last without any fuss. If you’re just looking to add a few extra Ethernet ports without spending much, I’d recommend this as a no‑nonsense, good‑quality option.

Great switch for the price. It hasn't been in place long, but it works well for what we are using it for.

Of course this works perfect when you need more WLAN connections..

This TP-Link 5-port switch is plug and play and runs without issues. All ports hit gigabit speeds, no dropouts, no noise, and no setup needed. Small, quiet, and easy to tuck behind a desk. If you need extra Ethernet ports and don’t want to mess with settings, this one does exactly what it should.

Very light (solid plastic) and nice simple design. >>> (Under all reserve), THE PERFORMANCES of this HUB (splitter) totally depend on your internet or network speed and also on the quality of your adsl-ethernet cables. It will work without difficulty with adsl cables CAT8-7..., going down (see the difference on the Internet). - Forward your ADSL (ethernet-internet CABLES) destinations from your home internet source (or network), to; the desktop computer, a laptop computer, another wifi modem (with a switch for example), an android box or a tv, etc., all of whom can then use the same broadband modem in turn or at the same time. > It's not like a (more expensive) self-managed router that contribute ALSO protects your IP address from being intrusion. It's a splitter with electrical amplification (3.7W, 1000mb per second) that keeps (all) your connections at HIGH SPEED and maximum performance. (PERSONAL OPINION*) The use of a WIRED INSTALLATION lDOES NOT CONTRIBUTE to adding a surplus of WIFI waves in an environment OFTEN ALREADY TOO full of various waves, and often even the WIFI of others. * In the end, it can only be MORE BENEFICIAL FOR GENERAL HEALTH AND AMBIENT MORALE, whatever some propaganda may say. (TIP) When looking for a modem (or an Internet distributor), try to find a WIFI modem with an ON-OFF switch. Routers with a (native) switch closing only the WIFI antenna of the rest of the dispatch are unfortunately as rare as internet provider modems without a wifi antenna that must be provided (with or without ADSL wiring). Otherwise, consider getting another modem without an antenna (help yourself from a technician if its possible or necessary) and a second one with WIFI (connect to this kind of HUB...). There exist also some model of integrated switches on AC extension cords (or the multiplugs), all for always having the possibility of manually switching off the WIFI router between uses and possibly the HUB and the rest of your installation at night. > This HUB dont have a native switch ON-OFF (like the most part) QUALITY-PRICE: At this price (-20$) it is a VERY INTERESTING high-performance choice that does not have much competition in recognized brands. Hope this unbiased review can contribute in your own decision.

This switch is really plug and play, I just connected to the power, put in slot 5 the internet going in, and then I used the other slots for my PCs, I didn't have to configure anything on my PC or internet modem. I connected this to a line directly to an extender, but the WIFI in that area was very poor, I solve that issue with this. The cover is plastic and it doesn't seem to have a heat sink visible, I also bought the other version that has metal case, but so far this item has been working very well, it is definitely smaller than the metal version of it.

Works perfectly, simple and maintained GB speeds, with a sleek compact design. I will buy another if needed in the future.
