At a glance
The TP-LINK 8-Port Gigabit Desktop Switch is a simple wired networking upgrade for home offices and small workspaces that need to connect multiple Ethernet devices without fuss. Its strengths are plug-and-play setup, silent fanless operation and eight Gigabit ports for smooth file transfers. The main limitation is that it is an unmanaged switch, so it lacks advanced network controls found on premium models.

Things to consider
This is an unmanaged switch, so it does not offer advanced features like VLAN management, PoE or deeper traffic controls that business-grade or specialist models may provide.
Compatibility with major brands
Works with standard Ethernet-enabled devices from major brands including Windows PCs, Apple MacBooks, printers, NAS units, smart TVs and game consoles.
Ease of setup score
10/10 - true plug-and-play unmanaged switch with auto-negotiation and Auto-MDI/MDIX support.
Home office suitability
9/10 - compact, silent and easy to use, making it a strong fit for desks, study spaces and small home work areas.
Upgrade flexibility
7/10 - a practical step up for adding more wired Gigabit ports, but limited if you later need PoE or managed networking features.
Durability vs category average
8/10 - steel housing and fanless design give it a sturdier feel than many lightweight entry desktop switches.
Key benefits
- 8 Gigabit Ports: Connect up to eight Ethernet devices at up to 1000 Mb/s for smoother large file transfers and high-definition media streaming.
- Plug-and-Play Operation: Get a wired network running quickly with no software installation or configuration required.
- Auto-Negotiation Ports: Each port automatically matches the best available link speed to simplify setup with mixed devices.
- Auto-MDI/MDIX Support: Removes the need for crossover cables, making installation easier with standard Ethernet leads.
- Fanless Design: Passive cooling keeps operation silent, which suits desks, study areas and shared workspaces.
- IEEE 802.3X Flow Control: Helps maintain reliable data transfer during everyday wired networking tasks.
- Compact Desktop Footprint: The 15.8 cm x 9.91 cm x 2.5 cm size fits neatly on a desk or shelf without taking much space.
- Low Power Use: Maximum power consumption is 3.7 W at 220V/50Hz, helping keep ongoing energy use low for an always-on network accessory.
Q: Does this switch need a router to share internet access?
A: No. The LS108G expands wired ports on an existing network, but it does not replace a modem or router. Connect one port to your router, then use the remaining ports for PCs, printers, NAS drives, TVs or consoles.
Q: Can the LS108G power devices over Ethernet or PoE?
A: No. LS108G is a data switch only, so it is for network traffic rather than power delivery. Devices that need Power over Ethernet, such as some access points or IP cameras, will need separate power or a PoE-capable switch.
Q: Will older 10 or 100Mbps devices work on this switch?
A: Yes. Each RJ45 port supports 10, 100 and 1000Mbps auto-negotiation, so older Ethernet devices can connect alongside Gigabit gear. Slower devices will run at their own link speed rather than forcing every port down to that speed.
Q: Can I use this switch for VLANs or network management?
A: No. LS108G is an unmanaged switch with no web interface or app for VLANs, port rules or traffic monitoring. It suits simple network expansion, not setups that need separate staff, guest or IoT network segments.
Q: Do I need crossover cables with the TP-Link LS108G?
A: No. LS108G supports Auto-MDI/MDIX, so standard Ethernet cables can be used for each connection. That makes it simpler to add devices or link it back to a router without choosing a special crossover cable.
Q: Can this switch sit in a quiet study or bedroom?
A: Yes. LS108G is fanless, so it runs without the constant fan noise some larger switches make. It is better suited to desks, studies and home offices than rack-style networking gear that relies on active cooling.
