This little light switch works like a champ.. easy to set up (plug and play) and the connection speed is fast. What a barging! I would buy it again.

I know this switch’s data sheet states that it is not intended to be used as a sharing connection hub between multiple computers – but, it does. I have it connected right now to a single RJ-45 cable coming from my router and have my wife’s desktop and my laptop connected through this TE100-S5 and both are right now on-line and working very well. I see very little if any reduction in download speeds with this setup.

I needed some more ethernet ports in my home network to attach a network storage device. Ordered one of these based on positive reviews. Opened it up, plugged a cable in from my router, plugged in the other things I needed to this switch. Everything worked perfectly! What a relief! You do not need to know anything to use this switch. It figures out which plug is getting the input signal and then switches it to the other three ports. Everything should be this painless.

Got this because I don’t want to use wireless, and needed to get two laptops online at the same time.
On opening, I read the manual, in the “technical details” section it says “this product was not designed to let two computers get online at the same time”. WRONG! They CAN and DO get online at the same time (at least for me). I just watched two separate videos from the internet on each laptop, at the same time!
The manual states it is describing two products: TE100-S5 and TE100-S8.
I have the TE100-S5 (that’s what is printed on the box, above the company logo).
So, presumably, I have the cheaper of the two products, and it still connects 2 devices at the same time.
Great to finally own a product that does MORE than what it said it would.
Of course, this is just the first day, hopefully it will continue to run great for many months.
Connect input to socket 1, outputs to sockets 2 and 3, and you’re done!
Highly recommended!
