    Any use case scenario for common ozbargainer? Most devices are on wifi at home 🤔

    • rain-e on 27/02/2023 - 08:10

      Depends on what you define as common. I have my TV, computer, and a couple servers (mainly raspberry pi's, dell micropcs, and a nas) all hooked up to ethernet.

      • hopper on 27/02/2023 - 08:15

        👍🏾

    • henno on 27/02/2023 - 08:18

      As above, I have things that require more speed and reliability than wifi connected to ethernet.

      In fact, my raspberrypi NAS and nvidia shield are attached to this very same switch.

      Media room has switch with amplifier, TV, vodafone TV, Telstra TV and PS5 connected, with cable back to ISP modem. Much more reliable than wi-fi in suburban area where houses are close and seemingly every house has wifi.

      • BanannaMan on 27/02/2023 - 10:37

        My bloody ps5 keeps having that LAN issue.. So bloody annoying. That restart, forced update or clear cache still doesn't work, more like a Bandaid

      Literally any permanent devices to keep Wi-Fi bandwidth open for mobile devices.

    • s3n on 27/02/2023 - 09:09

      No the common ozbargainer has a few of these $15 switches already and is going 2.5Gb already so is cutting down on buying spare gigabit switches

      They are also needing PoE for different applications so don’t need any more dumb switches

      • lonewolf on 27/02/2023 - 09:30

        I went with Cat6A cabling for my place and my parents place. Can i use that for 2.5Gb? I presume the end device and the switches have to be moved over. But do i also have to change the ports ( I believe they all used Cat 5e ports, i had lots of issues getting "professionals" to do my cabling )

        • s3n on 27/02/2023 - 10:30

          Yes even 5e and 6 can do it for short lengths which is the case for most residential applications

      Ten years ago, a colleague about to have his house built asked me for tips based on my experience with my house. One of my tips to him was that to drop 2xRJ45 into each room and have all of that into a central place somewhere central in the house. Told him - since he was in IT, that he would need server, gaming pc, consoles, printer and what not, and they are much reliable than wifi. He laughed at me and said wifi is the future and that just waste of money.

      Five years later when i at his house and saw ethernet cables snaking around his study room to his access points upstairs. He admitted that he had listen to me that time !!!

    • whats up skip on 27/02/2023 - 09:33

      Many people would have 8 port and larger particularly if they have IP security cameras. Running security cameras over WiFi isn't a good idea.

  • Elpres on 27/02/2023 - 08:43

    The TP Link site suggests the V3 has a switching capacity is 10Gbs. I’d be surprised if it can handle 1Gb duplex simultaneously on all ports.
    I’m not going to math the other numbers to check, but if it does, fantastic little device for the price.

    • rain-e on 27/02/2023 - 08:54

      Interesting - I hadn't thought of that. I doubt it will be an issue for most however might give it a test and report back once I get mine. My suspicion is that it'd be more of a matter of bottleneck between the router and switch as I don't think I've seen 5gig ethernet on non rack-mount routers before

      • Boioioioi on 27/02/2023 - 10:25

        Correct me if I am wrong, but data going between devices connected to the switch does not pass through the router no?

        • rain-e on 27/02/2023 - 10:33

          I was thinking data flowing from devices connected on switch <-> devices connected on router but you're right that 1gig between devices should be theoretically possible if they aren't lying on the spec sheet. Will have to test and report back

    It’s 5V barrel jack powered. Should have been USB.

    I modded mine with a USB port. Work like a charm.

    • whats up skip on 27/02/2023 - 09:45

      Barrel jacks are much more robust than a micro USB. I know I really hate the micro USB connectors on the Raspberry Pi, with the exception of the 4 with the USB C, although the location at the side is a pain.

    • DarkDawg on 27/02/2023 - 11:09

      I didn’t know usb powered switched existed. It’s something I really need.
      Can you recommend a very simple small switch that is usb powered?

      • xmagic on 27/02/2023 - 11:33

        Unifi Switch Flex. 5 port switch that is actually managed (through Unifi Network). Can be powered by either USB-C or PoE. It's not cheap, though.

        If PoE is your dish, have a look at teg1105pd - it can be powered by PoE only, but it also does PoE out on all 4 other ports.

    • hotphil on 27/02/2023 - 12:30

      Would it be because there's a lot of USB chargers out there that might not supply the current this would require? If my maths is right, for the 2.7Watts this says it needs to run then a 0.5amp USB at 5Volts is just a little bit shy of being able to meet that power. And there's a lot of USB chargers only put out 0.5amps I believe

    I bought this LS1005G last time for $16 on Good friday sale and i can confirm the issue it cannot give you gigabit speed simultaneously on all ports. I can explain my setup.

    I have eero 6plus (3 pieces) router and then switch then connected to 2 rooms one office(eero plus connected via cable) and 1 TV lounge(eero plus via cable).

    It gives 1 port gigabit speed and other one to 100mbps only.

    Tested various scenarios by switching ports and cables but everything points to switch as my final testing.

    What i did was removed the cable where it was sending the 1gbps and left the 100mbps one and surprise the 100mbps connection suddenly turned into 1gbps.

    And the moment i add next connection same story again one dropped to 100mbps and other 1gbps

    And i am still searching for solution to have simultaneous gigabit speeds on all ports?

    • OldSchoolHarry on 27/02/2023 - 09:51

      Just for sanity check, is the ethernet ports on each connected device gigabit or just 100mbps?

      • birdmaster on 27/02/2023 - 10:21

        They are all Gigbit ports that is the reason when I disconnect a connection which is showing speed of 1 gigabit other one which is 100 mbps automatically switched to 1gigabit speed just by disconnecting other one.

        • OldSchoolHarry on 27/02/2023 - 13:20

          Well this switch does have 5x gigabit ports which should all support gigabit simultaneously. I think your switch might be faulty.

        • howcan on 27/02/2023 - 13:47
          +1

          Something else is wrong with your setup. When referring to switch speed capacity it's referring to the capacity of the switching fabric, not the individual port speeds which should always negotiate at max speed regardless of the switching capacity of the switch.

          If your links are are negotiating at a lower speed when another cable is plugged in either your switch is faulty(as mentioned above) or you have some sort of weird cross interference outputting from one of the cables thats impacting adjacent ports and impacting its ability to negotiate at a gigabit. You could try different patch cords, or remove speed auto negotiation on the link dropping to 100mbit and force it to gigabit and do some testing. But nothing you're experiencing is indicative of the switching capacity.

        • dammit on 27/02/2023 - 14:06

          what type of Cat cable are you using, out of curiosity?

    I notice that Officeworks don't sell this model, so they won't do a price match.

    Any other suggestions for a price match locally in Melbourne?

    Don't you hate it when you already have spare 5, 8 & 16 port switches, but just want this one for the small size.

    Noob here.
    Me and my housemates are all connected to our Telstra NBN modem/router by ethernet cables (4 PCs in total).
    When one of us downloads a torrent, the internet lags for the rest of us (Youtube/Twitch will buffer)

    Would using this switch solve any of our problems? If so, how does it work?

    • OldSchoolHarry on 27/02/2023 - 09:54
      +1

      No, using a dumb switch is not going to be any different from router’s built-in switch. You can look at setting up QoS (quality of service) if your router supports it (or get a smart switch that supports QoS).

    • jigna27 on 27/02/2023 - 09:59
      +6

      Nope. Whoever is downloading the torrent is taking all the bandwidth available on your line.

      There are a couple things you can try/do:
      1) easiest is to speed limit the torrents.
      2) check the router and see if QoS can be set for different types of traffic eg gaming, streaming at priority, torrents lower.
      3) in the router, set device priorities eg phones get high, pc low etc. this will depend on users and devices they have.

      Use real debrid instead.

    • s3n on 27/02/2023 - 15:41

      You need a managed switch or router to do that which cost about 10 times this amount

      Depends on the router or switch but most of them have port speed limiting (QoS) which is a more reliable way to share the bandwidth

      Eg. if 50/20 mbit you could cap each port to 10mbit/4mbit to allow some overhead for switching traffic

      Or just upgrading your NBN to a much higher speed is a better approach

    • khell on 27/02/2023 - 16:37

      Get a router that supports Cake SQM and is powerful enough to run it properly. Bufferbloat is your problem.

    • 9839002 on 28/02/2023 - 17:29

      No. You probably need to implement quality of service on your router to alleviate that problem

  • whats up skip on 27/02/2023 - 09:49
    +1

    No. You either need what is called a smart switch, managed switch or a router with quality of service. The best option is the set a maximum download speed in the torrent that allows enough bandwidth for Youtube and Twitch.

  • dammit on 27/02/2023 - 13:22

    would this be any good to connect to create a wired backhaul ethernet for my Deco M5's? Fttc NTD -> 1st Deco router/modem -> 8 port TPLink switch -> all other Deco M5's or other wifi routers connected via Cat 5e or Cat 6?

      According to this comment by birdmaster, only 1 port at a time can do Gigabit so not really ideal
