TP-Link 24 Port Gigabit Ethernet Switch | Plug and Play | Sturdy Metal w/Shielded Ports | Rackmount | Fanless | Limited Lifetime Protection | Unmanaged (TL-SG1024)

I replaced my 2004 24 1024 port TP-link with this newer version TP-link 1024.. not because it was defective but to troubleshoot connection issues. It turns out that the old 2004 is still very good. I will still keep this one as it is more efficient and the specs are much better than my 21 year old one. So the question is do these TP-link switches last..? it would appear as a big yes from me.

Have used this to upgrade from a 10/100 switch...It works like a charm... Luv the network speed post upgradation

Muy bueno

I've been building and maintaining enterprise, SoHo, and residential networks for over 15 years. I used to think of TP-LINK as a low quality brand, but I have used their gear for low-budget installations many, many times over the years. I recently returned to service a professionally installed home network I had set up many years ago. The network terminates in an outdoor "shed" where a patch panel and a TP-LINK switch live, as well as some other networking gear. The structure is not climate controlled, so temperature and humidity are all over the place throughout the day and throughout the seasons. 5 years in those conditions and the TP-LINK switch was still just humming along, never had a single issue. That experience showed me that this company makes quality networking gear at excellent prices. Now I don't hesitate to buy TP-LINK switches when I need an unmanaged solution, and in the past 3 months I have done two installations using this model. It's a perfect option at a great price when you just need a gigabit switch that you can plug in and connect your nodes to. Very easy, very simple. Don't bother paying higher prices for other brands if all you need is a basic network switch. TP-LINK will perform just as well, and will last just as long. * Solid build quality. * Excellent performance (I've seen these things under very heavy load with no slowdowns on layers 2 or 3. * Great value! One reason to look for a different model is if you plan to add more switches later - this model doesn't have a fiberoptic port, which is ideal for connecting additional switches.

First time trying a TP Link network rack switch. It went together really easy putting on the rack ears and mounted just fine. It runs 24/7 and has not given any issues. I like that it is fanless. It replaced a switch with a fan that had gotten really noisy and was only a 10/100. This with the shielded gigabit ports has really increased the network speed which was really needed.
