Over 3 years later I am happy to say this thing still works flawlessly. Haven't encountered a single hiccup. Very consumer friendly and is truly "set it and forget it". ----------------- First off I need to mention that desertcart asked me to rate 3 "features": 'WiFi signal', 'Tech Support', and the 'User Interface'. Let me be clear that this device does not use WiFi and it does not have it's own local IP address to let you log into a "User Interface". Just wanted to point this out in case you come across other reviews that have these two "features" rated that could be misleading you. I recently built a house and had it wired for Cat 6 Ethernet, with there being 1 wall port in each room. One room in particular I have a desktop PC and an Xbox that I wanted both to have a wired internet connection to which is what required the purchase of this device. It is extremely easy to set up, and with it being "unmanaged", there was no portal I needed to sign into that would require me to mess with settings. It's a very simple "plug-and-play" set up, you simply need to connect an incoming ethernet cable from your router/modem (in any port) and then you can now share that internet connection to 4 other wired devices - that's all there is to it. One important note is this: if you have a modem-only device (these devices usually only have a single ethernet port on the back) then you are probably needing a router - not a switch. A router is capable of assigning your devices their own internal IP addresses via DHCP - which is important if you don't know how to assign them yourself. It's also what manages your NAT for situations your devices may need to use the same internet port number. While you don't necessarily need to know what all of this means, you need to understand that a switch is not a replacement for a router. If you are a consumer (as opposed to a business) then you're likely considering this switch to extend/add more ports than what your router has (they usually have around 4 or 5). Even the devices that are connected directly to this switch will still be getting their local IP addresses assigned from your router. The benefit of this switch over a "hub" is that it knows how to route your internet traffic to your devices. So even though it's not responsible for assigning IP addresses to your devices, it knows how to route specific traffic to the devices that require it. It does so lightning-fast - I notice absolutely no additional latency (which is great for gaming) and no compromise in speed either. If you're on the market for a small unmanaged switch, then this is an affordable and excellent choice... A hub, on the other hand, will route all traffic it receives to all devices that are connected to it (they do not 'switch' traffic to specific devices), which essentially requires the devices themselves to ignore the traffic it doesn't want. It adds additional overhead and can potentially cause dropped packets and they just essentially add additional network congestion. I could see a hub being used for something like printers or IoT devices where latency isn't critical, but I think it's ultimately beneficial to just not use them at all even though they might look similar to a switch. And as I've said above, this device does not contain WiFi. You cannot connect this wirelessly to any device. You would be able to purchase a separate device that would connect to this to transmit a wifi signal, but this will not do it on its own. Review: ​Great, reliable "plug-and-play" switch! - Simple, fast, and completely reliable ​I needed a quick way to expand my wired home network, and this 8-port TP-Link switch did exactly what it was supposed to do. ​True Plug-and-Play: There is zero setup required. You literally just plug it into the wall, connect it to your router, and start plugging in your devices (PC, console, smart TV, etc.). ​Build Quality: The casing feels sturdy and durable, not like cheap plastic. It’s compact enough to tuck away neatly on a desk or behind an entertainment center. ​Performance: I get full gigabit speeds across all connected devices with zero dropped connections or noticeable latency. It’s also completely silent, which is a huge plus. ​If you need to expand your hardwired network without any hassle or complicated configuration, you can't go wrong with this one.

The brackets work in a standard rack mount system or, if you rotate and attach them facing the bottom of the switch, you can mount the switch to a wall...same brackets do both. **Q: What is the actual dimension of the 16-port switch? The dimension in production information is the size of shipping box.** A: 11.3 × 4.4 × 1.0 in as found on the manufacturer's site https://www.tp-link.com/us/home-networking/16-port-switch/tl-sg116/ **Q: What is the size (length and width) of the male power plug for tl-sg116? i need to buy an right angle adapter for the male plug.** A: The answer is not correct. This device (TL-SG116) uses a plug-in power supply, a "wall wort" is does not have a built -in power supply as the listing graphic appears to indicate. The answer is: If the electrical outlet is installed vertically, then the long side of the wall adapter is parallel to the floor. Or at a right angle to the outlet. **Q: Is this a good switch to use for a dante network? i browsed the manual and it seems like it'll work but i wanna be sure i didn't miss something.** A: Dante prefers unmanaged switches so this should be ideal ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fast & Easy-To-Use! *by B***N on October 19, 2022* Edit 11/21/2025: I periodically like to perform check-ins on my previous reviews.

Highly recommended! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ So far, so good! *by L***S on August 28, 2025* I’ve been using this connector several days now, and it’s working as expected. I’m using it plugged into a WiFi extender to hardwire our TV and PlayStation. This is giving us faster and more consistent connection. Even though we have fiber internet, the location it was installed in our house is not central, so we’ve had to do the extensions. And our Sony TV’s internal WiFi won’t keep a connection (a common issue for Sony TVs), and game downloads were taking too long as well as not being able to play a live game while downloading. This little box has fixed the issues. It really is just a plug-and-go item. Super easy and you don’t have to be techy to understand how it works. Keep in mind that one port will be dedicated to the WiFi box or extender, so buy the size you need accordingly. If you’ve got 6 devices to connect, you need at least 7 ports. I didn’t know what “looping” was, so after looking into it, I left that switch to “off.” It was not recommended, and warned of slowing speeds and mixing up devices. It’s working great so far. TV connection hasn’t faltered since switching to the box (and not directly into extender box). And the PlayStation downloaded a game in 5mins that, unwired, estimated 30mins! My husband was very happy. He then downloaded Cyberpunk 2077, which is a huge file. When he tried downloading it unwired, it quoted like half a day, lol. Hardwired, it took less than 1.5hrs, AND, at the same time, he was able to play a college football game that uses the network for live play. One thing to note: this did change our IP address, so when we went into Hulu after getting it connected, we got the “it looks like you’re not at home?” message. We had to “update our home location” even though we didn’t really move. You get 4 of these home changes a year, so just FYI. I’m sure Hulu is familiar with this and would work it out if you don’t have any home address changes left, but the hassle and time would be annoying. Overall, I couldn’t be more pleased. If this box stops working after a time, I’ll update my review. But for $12.50 on sale, it’s a steal. The box itself seems quality and well made. It’s got a weight to it and was packaged well. Definitely recommend. ## Frequently Bought Together - TP-Link 16 Port Gigabit Ethernet Network Switch, Desktop/ Wall-Mount, Fanless, Sturdy Metal w/ Shielded Ports, Traffic Optimization, Unmanaged (TL-SG116) Black - TP-Link TL-SG108 8 Port Gigabit Unmanaged Ethernet Network Switch, Ethernet Splitter Plug & Play Fanless Metal Design Shielded Ports Traffic Optimization - TP-Link TL-SG105, 5 Port Gigabit Unmanaged Ethernet Switch, Network Hub, Ethernet Splitter, Plug & Play, Fanless Metal Design, Shielded Ports, Traffic Optimization,Navy Blue --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sk/products/91215374-tp-link-16-port-gigabit-ethernet-network-switch-desktop-wall](https://www.desertcart.sk/products/91215374-tp-link-16-port-gigabit-ethernet-network-switch-desktop-wall) --- *Product available on Desertcart Slovakia* *Store origin: SK* *Last updated: 2026-05-18*
