I have been using this switches unmanaged cousin, the TP-Link TL-SG105 since July of 2013. It has functioned wonderfully extending my rather large wired home network. I can honestly say, this "Easy Smart" version makes a great addition to my network, right alongside it's cousin. Some of my opinions on this version directly mirror the other. The build quality is great with an all metal housing. Internal board is securely mounted, as are the RJ45 ports, they do not flex or give. Internal "processor" is cooled by a heatsink. It's also wall mountable, a huge plus in my book. All like it's unmanaged cousin. This is a great little switch. Same as before, I dropped it into my network and saw absolutely no performance loss what so ever, and my home network is often under heavy load, see "Other thoughts" for more details. Online gaming, LAN gaming, local game and VOIP servers, HD streaming with tools like Open Broadcaster and XSplit, and HD media such a Netflix and Hulu, none of it was hindered being behind this switch with 4 devices connected and running simultaneously. What makes this switch stand out is the fact it can be managed. The "Easy Smart Configuration Utility" is simple, intuitive, and lets you setup the switch to best fit your specific needs. - Manual or DHCP. - Individual port control, switching, and monitoring. (Monitoring includes link status, Tx / Rx good and back packets.) - Port Mirroring. - Cable Testing. - Loop Prevention. - IGMP Snooping. - Port Trunking - Virtual LAN. - Port QoS - Port Bandwidth Control. - Storm Control (Protects against broadcast, multicast, and unknown unicast storms) You can save and backup your configs for different situations as well, a feature I liked seeing. The TP-Link TL-SG105E really is a great switch. Easily integrating into most any network where more control is needed or desired than with an unmanaged switch.

* Nice compact form factor * Included power adapter option is nice * Even nicer is being able to power it off PoE - one less wire/plug socket to deal with * Integrates well with the UniFi Network app, showing what devices are connected to it

Worked as advertised, easy install.

Super easy setup. Plenty of POE ports.




-Whisper quite -Many Features -Web GUI or phone app to manage it -You have to know what your doing or at least read the manual.


The MS305 (pay attention to the model number when purchasing) is a fine addition to a home network, especially with moving moderately large amounts of data between devices (pictures, streaming, archives) internally or via the Internet.

Silent and cool with plenty of room for power requirements with my PoE network cameras.

- Full 2.5gbps speed on all ports! - It does the job without any compromise. I've saturated the 2.5gb ports many times and it performs well.



2.5Gbs speed from my router to the rest of my home network.

I really like this switch. It has all the great management features you would want, the GUI makes sense, VLANs work as expected, it has POE, and it's got a great slim form factor for wall mounting and getting it out of the way. Comes with the screws necessary to wall mount as well.

Great product with upgradeable POE settings. Has 3 settings that can be adjusted for your needs when paired with a larger (same voltage) power supply.
