The TP link TL-SG105S offers great value for money but can it match my Wi-Fi speeds?

Hi, you have said correct in video.....though my router was having gigabit lan ports ..I purchased this item.....Benefit of using this tp link switch is that, network speed increases much, It never fluctuates, gives constant fixed maximum speed...

The biggest benefit is wifi is a contention based media. Devices compete for airtime and only 1 station can transmit at 1 time. With a switch, you get full duplex with access to the media whenever you need it. I prefer hard wire everytime.

Your tests were limited by your Internet connection. If you had my connection, over 900 Mb down, I bet you'd see much different results, as my WiFi beats all your connections, but it doesn't come close to a wired connection. Also, when you wall mount a switch, do not put the connectors on the top side. They're great at collecting dust, which can interfere with the connection.

This is relative on how far away the device is from the wireless router. For example my router is in the basement and , my network TV is upstairs. Over wifi6 2.4 ghz I was getting a transfer of 56 mbps down and 2 mbps up, after hooking a switch in, my TV was receiving 356 mbps down and 12 mbps up.

You know what would have been very helpful. Having a proper speed test. For your speed test. Primarily one that shows your Ping.!!! But I guess it was helpful for demonstrating that there's no loss in performance for bandwidth under 200 MB. Which for most people. Would be enough. But will it actually perform a Gigabit.??? And how does the latency change for each of those configurations.? All questions that could have been answered. Had you chosen a proper speed test location. I mean there are plenty you can choose from. I don't know how you landed on this uninformative piece of software. Anyway. And otherwise informative video. Cheers.🍻

That depends on what you're doing. Each port supports 1 Gb. If more than one connection is going through a port than the bandwidth will be divided, according to traffic. This would happen on the port connected to the router. Of course, the Internet bandwidth could also be a limiting factor.

If you merely wanted to inform your audience that they need to buy enough ports for their individual situation, you could have just done so without accusing the manufacturer of lying. Everyone who buys one of these CAN use all 5 ports. If one of those is a router then that's wonderful.
