Some context: I'm a System Administrator and also a handyman. Currently renovating my basement and needed ethernet.
TL;DRL Got the job done, not using the smart switch capabilities as I have no need for it right now. Was able to utilize PoE for 2 access points and a camera, other ethernet ports were gigabit ready.
Effortless Setup and Management: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Setting up the TL-SG108PE was a breeze. Very user friendly. Plug your uplink (cable from router / switch) and then plug whatever else you want to it, and you will get ethernet.
Versatile Port Configuration: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
The 8 Gigabit Ethernet ports on this switch offer incredible versatility. I was able to connect various devices, including PCs, gaming consoles, and streaming devices, without breaking a sweat.
Smart Management Features: N/A
Did not utilize as of yet at the time of this review.
Reliable Performance: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Whether it's streaming high-definition content, online gaming, or large file transfers, this switch handles it all effortlessly. The Gigabit speeds ensure a smooth experience across all connected devices.

The solid build of the TL-SG108PE is immediately evident. Its metal housing not only adds durability but also aids in heat dissipation, ensuring reliable operation even during extended use. This level of quality gives me confidence that my network is in capable hands.
Energy-Efficient Design: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I appreciate the TL-SG108PE's commitment to energy efficiency. This not only benefits the environment but also translates to cost savings over time.

Great POE switch BUT...
I bought this switch to power 3 outdoor cameras and because it is mounted in an enclosure its size was a contributing factor in choosing it. It came in a big box and I thought "that was wasteful" until I opened it and saw the power brick. Holy smoke! The thing is huge! So I ended up getting a new enclosure. I am dinging TP-Link a star because they didn't supply a photo of the brick. Some surprises are not nice.I bench-tested the switch and it works as designed. If I run in to any problems with the unit I will update the review.

Reviewed in the United States on August 11, 2023
I use it to power a Unifi AP over POE, and the AP powered up immediately on plugging it in to one of the four POE ports. I just had to configure it in the Unifi management console and it worked. Later, I added additional wireless SSIDs with VLANs to separate networks by function. This required a bit of research to get the 802.1q settings right, because they don't tell you much of anything about how to set it up. But once I figured out how to set it, it is actually very simple. I the attached image, port 3 has the Unifi AP and port 8 connects to a pfSense firewall. In my setup, you have to configure the VLANs in 3 places (pfSense, Unifi, and this switch) so it's the VLAN IDs that make them work together. More work, less money, but it works fine.
I would recommend this if you want a GB switch with POE and don't care about VLAN settings, since it is really simple to plug-and-play in that case. Also recommended if you want a managed switch and don't mind having to configure the VLAN settings manually, and would rather save the money vs. buying a switch that is fully integrated with a management console like Unifi or Omada.

Performs great, basic VLAN management

I got this to experiment with VLANs and upgrade our home network to be more robust and secure. If you're willing to tinker, this is definitely worth the money. It's fast and has two features I needed, POE and VLAN support. I've been using it over a year, and have had no issues with it.Reviewed in the United States on August 11, 2023
