No web manager, only works with windows
This is everything a switch shouldn't be. Why would a switch require software to be installed on a Windows machine in order to manage it? 'Easy' must refer to making it easy for the manufacturers, rather than the user. Want a web interface? Nope. Want to use it on a linux network? Nope.

TP-Link TL-SG108PE 8-Port Gigabit Easy Smart PoE Switch, 4-Port PoE (Max 55W)
Does its job - perfect for the home or small office.
Good for the price, it is managed, but only via a Windows app (no WWW GUI or CLI)
Needed a VLAN capable switch for a LAN extension project, and at the price (22 quid +VAT for me) it seemed the perfect solution. Upside - it does what is says on the tin, it's an 8 port manageable VLAN capable switch with (limited) trunking capability.
Great High Speed Switch

I was this close to sending my managed switch back because the box had "unmanaged" plastered all over it. TP-link is trying to market this as both a plug and play switch and a managed switch, only you have to open the box and discover the references to a web interface to know that you got the right...
Great product.
Very reliable and fast smart switch. Works all the time and doesn't get too warm. Easily readable LEDs show if your cable connected 1000m or 100/10m. It is possible to disable unused ports for energy saving through desktop utility. Fast delivery from Staples.
- Exactly what I expected and more. - Software features in management software are great.
- - Metal sturdy construction
- - Easy and intuitive management software
- - None that I could find
Works perfect
Other reviews state noisy power adapters and such, nothing, it is fine, I also have the larger 16 port version of this, it also works fine, setup is easy, from the software tool it shows me no bad packets like another reviewer stated,, use cat 5E or better cable, I am using cat 6, QOS tagging, Vlan...- it is small
- no noise
- Vlan tagging is a must for me
- no cons
