Good speed across all devices. WiFi router to be connected to this and not the other way around.

Good product

Good switch from TP-Link

Go for it, if ur planing to buy, u can create vlans and also pass through vlans without tagging it too, it just passes through without stripping it out when not configured

More convenient way to setup small network speed with utmost speed.

Easy and quick

VLAN) and a Draytek Vigor 2860 Router to play nicely with each other in terms of VLANs and tagged/untagged traffic. The Vigor seems to have a few issues with tagged and untagged traffic on the same port, including some embarrasing routing leaks that are being looked at by their support team. This switch does the job perfectly and I now have the general WiFi going to a standard hub and internal VMs on an ESXi host. Guest Wifi is routed direct to internet, and test WiFi going to test VMs via the Vigor and a second NIC on the ESXi host. The switch can work as normal without any VLAN config just fine, or can be configured for one of three different VLAN modes. After initial check out in port mode with ports 1-4 in one VLAN and 5-8 in another I dived in to the wonderful world of tagged VLANs which I thought I understood. I do now... With hindsight it's actually easy to configure. Give an ID and friendly name to a VLAN, select which ports will connect to it and if they should leave tags in place or not for outbound traffic, save and repeat for next VLAN. Each port can have multiple tagged VLANs connected. Easy. I had three issues. Sorry, I mean learning experiences: The management functions of the WiFi router are only accessible via VLAN 1 (undocumented) which is nothing to do with this switch of course, but it means you need to have VLAN 1 defined between the router, switch and tagging set up so you can still reach it from a management PC. At least 1 port on the switch must also be assigned to VLAN 1. I'm thinking this is a TP-Link thing and kinda makes sense. At least its mentioned in switch documentation, and since I need VLAN 1 for the Wifi it's no big deal. There's 4094 other IDs to chose from after all. For untagged traffic entering the switch from a normal PC or hub, you need to configure the default VLAN for that port *on a separate config screen" if you want the traffic to go on a VLAN. Really obvious in hindsight, but took me a little while to figure out what was going on. Maybe the lesson is not to try doing this late in the evening after a long day, nice dinner and couple of glasses of wine. Although it's only been in use for a couple of weeks it's doing the job very nicely. I'm using this for a home office & lab but I'd have no issues using in a "proper" commercial environment either.

This thing is all it needs to be in a tiny, low power package. Already have 5 devices using it religiously with 3 of them being 24/7 servers with port forwarding. Zero hiccups and everything I needed it to do was straightforward and just worked. Recovery from power outages is very fast. Boots up in no time. Having the ability to hang it on the wall was also great and helped save space. No brainer purchase for my setup. Highly recommend.
