Same prices as November Deal (borderline 1 month ago, so posted a new deal plus some differences compared to last deal). Some products not available in some areas (like Regional Areas). However, the TP-Link LiteWave 5-Port Gigabit Desktop Switch (LS1005G) appears to be. Also looks like a maximum quantity of 3 per variation, per customer.

TP-Link LiteWave 5-Port Gigabit Desktop Switch (LS1005G) $13

    The 9-port says gigabit but also 10/100. Is that because all the ports add up to a gigabit?

    • geekcohen on 19/12/2024 - 06:05

      Updated my deal description. I would assume it is 10/100 based on the model not having GP like the other products.

      • Joost on 19/12/2024 - 07:34

        It's weird hey? Says gigabit in the "size" choice but not in the description when you click.
        I was thinking maybe the "uplink" port has gigabit and the rest are 10/100?

  • bargin424 on 19/12/2024 - 06:28

    OP, how did you setup your switch for security on the reolink cameras? Did you creste your own VLAN, or are you running two NAT?

    • RockyRaccoon on 19/12/2024 - 06:33

        That refers to routers, not switches. I am not using a TP Link Router. I am using a Ubiquiti Dream Machine.

      • netsurfer on 19/12/2024 - 07:56

        These are unmanaged switches so they have very limited features.

        • RedHab on 19/12/2024 - 08:02

          Hopefully they have no "undocumented" router features. I think not, as that would cost more.

            @RedHab: If you are scared, put the switch on an isolated VLAN with no internet access. I reckon people using Unifi gears would be interested in these (because the Unifi version of these are too pricey as Unifi switches are managed switches). For Unifi cameras, put them in a VLAN with no Internet access is the recommended approach anyway. However, if the POE switch is going to be used for Unifi network gears as well, then given that the switch is unmanaged, it needs to be setup to allow multiple VLANs (tagged VLAN setup).

            I opted for a non-Unifi managed switch, but to use it with Unifi gears, I had to replicate VLAN setup manually on that 3rd party managed switch.

    • geekcohen on 19/12/2024 - 06:47

      No. Just plugged into the network and turn on Auto-Add/Detect within the Reolink NVR. It then detects camera within the network. I would run a seperate VLAN if I wanted to.

      • bargin424 on 19/12/2024 - 07:03

        Couldnt your NVR power the cameras via POE? Sorry im all new to this. Im trying to understand the need of a switch when you can directly connect it to the NVR

        • Joost on 19/12/2024 - 07:37

          The switch is for if you want to use a different DVR that doesn't have POE, or if you want a computer to be the DVR.
          For security, many people use 2 Ethernet cards in their computer and keep the "POE security cam" network separate to your home internet network. Personally I don't care if China sees my balls but many do.

            @netsurfer: Why is double NAT not ideal?

            Currently i have:
            - TPG supplied modem/router: TP LINK VX420-G2v
            - Wireless router: Mercusys MR90X AX6000 (this is a spare router i have)
            - Reolink NVR: RLN8-410

            What im planning to do is:
            VX420-G2v (LAN port) -> (WAN port) MR90X (LAN port) -> (LAN port) NVR.

            Eg) Setup MR90X in router mode, and set the connection type to Dynamic IP.

            Will this work? My issue is that i dont have the right hardware to setup a VLAN unless you have any other suggestions?

            • netsurfer on 19/12/2024 - 08:40

              @bargin424: If you don't intend to use VLAN + IPv6 subnetting, then double NAT is okay. Technically, if you don't need to double NAT, it is best not to. Without IPv4 VLAN + IPv6 Subnetting, IPv6 will generally work fine. Verify IPv6 works with: https://test-ipv6.com/. Generally IPTV streaming works better over IPv6. Also, if your ISP uses CGNAT, then you might prefer to use IPv6 over IPv4 whenever possible. There is generally no NAT when using IPv6.

              Any reason you want TP LINK VX420—G2v in your setup? Connect your router directly to the NBN device?

              Most consumer grade routers and Unifi network gears don't give you sufficient control on IPv6. I found that if I were to use NAB - router - router (Unifi) setup, I can't get IPv6 subnetting to work on Unifi. That means while IPv4 VLAN works, IPv6 subnetting doesn't work at all (the only choice is 1 big IPv6 subnet, which defeats the whole VLAN setup - because only IPv4 is segregated properly and IPv6 is messed up). Even with NBN connected directly to Unifi gateway / dream machine, Unifi's IPv6 subnetting is still too limited at the moment. I was told OPNSense IPv6 support is good so it doesn't have the same issue, but my OPNsense box is collecting dust at the moment (haven't got time to verify it).

              For most people, just keep it simple and forget about VLAN. Unifi's IPv4 VLAN setup is nice and easy, but its IPv6 subnetting (and IPv6 in general) isn't good enough at the moment.

                @netsurfer: The reason to connect the TP LINK VX420-G2v is to seperate my camera system to my personal devices.

                In the event of a breach on my security camera system as it uses p2p tech, i dont want it to expose everything else.

                What do you suggest?

                PS: this was suggested to me on a whirlpool forum. I have not tested this setup yet. Keen to get your feedback

    • fredwu on 19/12/2024 - 09:56

      Not OP, but if you need VLAN support, you'll need a managed switch.

      I use this LINOVISION https://www.amazon.com.au/gp/product/B0D86W5WSZ/ with my Unifi Cloud Gateway Max. It's pricey but it's managed, has POE+ (130W), and is 2.5G for future proofing. I actually have two of these, one installed in the NBN box, one for all the Reolink cameras.

    Using the LS1008G at home for almost 18 months and it has been great (I know these are pretty simple).

    The metal build quality for $20 is kinda ridiculous. The only thing is ports and power on opposite sides may not give the clean look some people are after.

    • olderman on 19/12/2024 - 08:34

      Agree, the value you get for money you pay is ridiculous. I needed even simpler 5 port switch and for $13 it does exactly what I need.

      PS: hint for people who need even less than 5 port switch – you can repurpose your old wifi router for that (plus disable wifi radio if you don’t want an extra network).

  • Tim Mc on 19/12/2024 - 08:57

    Any recommendations for a cheap crimper and plugs to repair a new 50m Cat6 cable where the outer sheath split? 🥵

    • netsurfer on 19/12/2024 - 09:02

      If you are good at crimping and live near a CPL store (probably check other computer stores for similar offer because CPL is ……..):

      Marsco 3 in 1 Modular Crimpting Tool MC-315 - $6

      Then get cheap plugs from AliExpress (or Amazon if you need to fix the issue right away). However, if you are not good at it, then passthrough plugs and passthrough rj45 crimper are much easier.

  • pepsicles on 19/12/2024 - 09:01

    Are these (TP-Link 5-Port Gigabit Desktop Ethernet Switch with 4-Port PoE+, 65 W PoE Budget) POE injectors?

    So I can hook it up to an eero 6+ to add poe function to it?

    • netsurfer on 19/12/2024 - 09:07

      Essentially, these are POE injectors glued together. However, it does have 1 advantage over individual POE injectors, each switch only takes up 1 upstream port for network.

  • jamestas on 19/12/2024 - 09:14

    I've had a few of these, but now moved to Ubiquiti.
    Also bear this in mind: https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/us-considers-…

    • netsurfer on 19/12/2024 - 09:39

      Honestly, with Ubiquiti Unifi, most of us are after the convenience / ease of use. I do remote adjustments through mobile so much with Unifi, is that really safer? Ubiquiti had multiple data breaches (including one recently this year). If you use Unifi Protect cameras, then putting them in a VLAN without Internet access is a good idea. When you want to use Home Assistant and other solutions with those cameras, you'll need to relax the VLAN firewall.

      These are unmanaged switches. They are not routers or managed switches.

  • nawapb on 19/12/2024 - 09:54

    I am currently using an old 48 port cisco switch for powering 10 POE devices including 7 camera and 3 AP. would using two of these save power ?
