TP-Link LS1005G, Litewave 5 Port Gigabit Ethernet Unmanaged Switch

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.

No complaints! This is very light, considerably smaller than my previous 5 port switch yet sturdy. Cables pop in securely. Lights not obnoxious. Price is right. Would buy again! (I've bought 2 so far)

Great product. I have ethernet through the house and the proliferation of devices (printers, desktop, hub, docking station for laptop, cable tv box, tv itself, roku, PS5, Xbox, Sonos Connect Amp, Denon receiver, plus replicated portions upstairs and downstairs with ethernet backhaul satellites. Could never have done it without these Gigabit switches. They were simple to connect, they've lasted over a year so far, they look unobtrusive, and they were reasonably priced.

great little switch to keep on hand. only bummer on my end is they dont take the typical size 12v coaxial adapter so they aren't compatible with the 12v UPS units that I use for my modem and router.

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.

Beautiful looking and simple setup, this is my second time buying one of these units and my first has worked flawlessly within my network for the past 2 years so i returned for a second when my setup required more AP

Very easy to use and gives all my devices good speeds. Very good value. Doesn't seem to get that warm either.

I plugged everything in and works well, very satisfied so far.

ممتاز

I'm surprised at how small this is, and it's very light, so you have to anchor it with something because if you accidentally pull on a wire, it may just fall of whatever it's sitting on. Works great, no issues there!

Never disappointed when you buy a good and famous brand

Muy bueno y sencillo de conectar, llevo 2 meses con la caja y sigue funcionando. Es buena calidad/precio, corresponde a lo que pagas funciona y listo, no se complica mucho.

Musste leider das Netzteil wechseln und den Stecker umlöten. Aber sonst alles gut. Die Kiste läuft wie sie soll.
