I just bought the TP-Link TL-SG108, I don't need 8 ports, just 5, I wonder if I should swap them

I also bought the TL-SG108 (https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B00A121WN6?psc=1) as I needed 6 ports for $24.99, it's currently $26.99.

I haven't looked at the specs/reviews on this, but also there is a Netgear 5-port for $16.99 right now

Do NOT get D-Link switch.

Just get TP-Link or Netgear.
I have 3 D-Link fail on me before, giving me random packet lost.

I now running 6x mix of TP-Link and Netgear 5 port gigabit switch around the house (satellite switch) and a 16 port net gear in basement for over 7 years have zero issue.

yup, just got one of those too. $24.99 for 8 ports and metal case, I only need 4 ports but the extra may come in handy one day. I put a sticker over the lights as the power light is really bright.

RFD is not just about saving money, it's about the thrill of the hunt and getting the stuff I want without paying full price like Joe Shmoe did.
This applies to everyday items as well as high end items that I don't really need.

I have 2 never had an issue run for years now. most if not all switches inside......... are identical socs for their class. But different cases,names offer varying extras usually dependent on price.

I have put in a few TP-Link switches in my place. At the time I bought them, they were the most economical branded switch I found. I have a 24-port as my main switch in the basement, and then a few others here and there as hubs for a cluster of devices. All work great for me the past few years.

Man when's the 2.5G switches gonna hit. I think netgear has one but it only has 2 ports. Will be good for internal transfers.
