## Questions & Answers

**Q: Do I need to have a router for this to work?
I just want to hook up my computer and tivo.
Will it slow down my computer download speed?**
A: People confuse routers and switches all the time.  A router has brains, it logs in to your service provider and gives you access to their internet and controls your home network IP's. (DHCP Server which actually routes traffic for your home network)  Most Routers have a built in 4 port switch, so thus people associate that is a router. it really isn't...it's a switch built into your router.  ...This device you are looking at is simply a switch, and will work automatically with your router to assign IP addresses to each port/device.  It will NOT slow down your throughput, but remember, you can only get a dedicated amount of speed from your service provider.  So if you have a 100mb internet connection, that is all you can download at anyone time...so if you have two devices downloading constantly at the same time, they will both only get 50mbs each essentially.  That said, most of the time, the internet traffic you are using does not conflict with each other and you will not notice any difference.  On thing to remember, for the full speed of this switch, or any router/switch,  to be utilized, you need cat5e or cat6 Ethernet cables.  Cat5e is just as fast as cat6 but for shorter distances.  If you have to go a long way, use the 6, but that is overkill for most home networks.  Still I would go with 6 to save yourself the need for future cable upgrades if they are hard to get to, and with this day and age of HD TV, and sharing video, I would over build rather than under-build.

**Q: Which port do I connect my router to?**
A: When I connected the router to port #1 I got about 10 mbit speed to any device that was plugged into any other port.  when I plugged the router in #5 as the instructions illustrate, I got 100 mbit. verified with speedtest.net.

**Q: what does it do?**
A: It lets you plug more things into your router.  This does not replace your router.I use this switch at my entertainment center.  My Blu-ray player, Xbox 360 and an external hard drive plugged into the switch.  I then have a cable running from this switch to my router.  I believe the wired connection is faster and more dependable. It took me longer to type this reply then it did to hook it up.  You plug in your devices, and plug in the power cord.  Done.

**Q: Does anyone know if it has holes on the bottom for wall mounting?**
A: Just bought two of the TL-SG1005D 5 port units, and yes they both have holes on the bottom for screw mounting to the wall.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Abysmal performance
*by S***E on November 2, 2020*

NOTE: Amazon intermingles the 5-port and 8-port Litewave reviews. They're very similar and both reviews apply for the most part. I did experience the 5-port switch downgrading all devices to Fast Ethernet (100 Mbps) speeds even though the links on both computers are verified at 1.0 Gbps. Transfers between them topped out at 90 Mbps. I swapped the TP-Link Litewave switch for an older Trendnet Gigabit switch and it gets 900 Mbps throughput. A contributing factor to the performance degradation may be chaining the 5-port Litewave to an 8-port Litewave, then to the router. This smells strongly of a firmware bug. Not only is the throughput reduced to 90 Mbps, there's a high amount of packet loss. Original review: The TP-Link Litewave 8-port Gigabit switch (LS1008G) is extremely compact and energy efficient. It's smaller than a metal case 5-port GreenNet Gigabit switch I got years ago, and I thought that one was small. Some people are concerned by the plastic case, but let me assure you that it's not an issue here. It barely gets warm, and I keep it in an enclosed closet. It's fast and has been reliable. I also bought the TP-Link Litewave 5-port Gigabit switch (LS1005G) and it has identical performance with the 8 port version. The only difference is the number of ports.
