Speeds have been stable on my console, laptop, and TV with no issues.The metal build feels solid, and it runs completely silent since there’s no fan. It also stays cool even after being on for hours.It’s basic with no advanced settings, but for simple home use it does the job well. Good value for the price. Review: Excellent and reliable. - I replaced a used Netgear 16 port Gigabit switch that was being extremely finicky. This appears to be highly reliable and has a 3 year warranty! I'm hoping for the best! It was a snap to set up, just plugging in. It's 1Gb and fully compatible with my network.

The brackets work in a standard rack mount system or, if you rotate and attach them facing the bottom of the switch, you can mount the switch to a wall...same brackets do both. **Q: What is the actual dimension of the 16-port switch? The dimension in production information is the size of shipping box.** A: 11.3 Γ— 4.4 Γ— 1.0 in as found on the manufacturer's site https://www.tp-link.com/us/home-networking/16-port-switch/tl-sg116/ **Q: What is the size (length and width) of the male power plug for tl-sg116? i need to buy an right angle adapter for the male plug.** A: The answer is not correct. This device (TL-SG116) uses a plug-in power supply, a "wall wort" is does not have a built -in power supply as the listing graphic appears to indicate. The answer is: If the electrical outlet is installed vertically, then the long side of the wall adapter is parallel to the floor. Or at a right angle to the outlet. **Q: Is this a good switch to use for a dante network? i browsed the manual and it seems like it'll work but i wanna be sure i didn't miss something.** A: Dante prefers unmanaged switches so this should be ideal ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ simple to use *by M***L on April 6, 2026* I bought this TP-Link 5 port switch to add more Ethernet ports, and it worked right away.

This was so easy to use! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Superb performance & build quality, nightmare to mount on walls *by B***R on July 30, 2021* Its a switch! Does what it needs to do. Pros: * Runs cold to the touch even when under decent load with multiple devices so its probably very energy efficient. * Seems to be very high performance! No latency or bandwidth changes vs direct CAT6a connection on gigabit ethernet. Tested with up to 3 devices under load. Latency was statistically unchanged and bandwidth/QoS was what you'd expect on paper so overhead is super low and on board protocols are implemented extremely well! Grain of salt though... I haven't formally benchmarked or even really used SOHO switches since the 10/100 days. Maybe all makes/models are similar nowadays, but 20 years ago using switches was only a tad better than a hub in terms collision prevention and simple QoS. * Physical build quality is top notch, with one caveat (see Cons) Cons: * Design of metal casing is probably perfect for mounting on the side of standard 1U or 2U racks, warehouse racks, or anything else with standardized screw hole placement and (ideally) the ability to come in from behind or at least see what you're doing. I needed to mount this to a wall in my home office where I couldn't just screw into a rack with standard mounts and slide the switch in place 5 seconds later. There may be a much better way, but the only solution I could come up with (in order to use the rubber feet as standoffs to allow airflow) was to take the housing apart and unscrew/remove the PCB to see what the correct distance between screws needed to be. In theory this would be the last step but unfortunately problem #2 (really the only roadblock in retrospect) was that when wall mounting, the shape of the mounting cutouts are such that you (or at least me?)don't give you enough "turning radius" to get the switch mounted without the offset from the screw head and the wall surface being stupidly long. The only solution where the standoff distance was both far enough to get the screw heads in there while ALSO getting it to mount securely without flapping around loose was to clip the opening a bit with sheet metal snips. This was a tad challenging but doable, mostly because of the cramped areas for maneuver. My recommended wall mount steps (unless someone has a better way) are: 1. Insert the screws in the mounting holes, and position in the narrower "top" area where they loosely stay in place when held in by hand. This will be the distance when mounted. 2. Gently press the switch and screws into the wall just enough to create 2 small dents so you know where to drill. 3. Drill. I didn't need a drywall screw due to wood paneling, but use drywall screws if bare drywall. If you think you don't need to just do it anyway. Its cheap, easy, and a good best practice to prevent yanks from plugged in devices, etc. 4. Screw the screws in 95% of the way. You may be able to just mount the switch ok. If not, you may need to do step 5... 5. (Optional). If necessary AND you know what you're doing, AND you don't care about warranties, open up the mounting cavity with metal snips, but only after you have unscrewed the device housing and have carefully removed all the (guts). Put them aside in an anti static bag to keep them safe. Start by clipping tiny slivers from the two mounting cavities on the bottom device housing piece. Adjust the screw depth until you can easily mount the housing without it feeling loose. You may need to test/adjust a few times, since the screw head will be blocked by sheet metal. This is the core design flaw, otherwise you could just (at worst) unscrew the top housing cover, remove the "guts", and just screw it in by hand, with the final step being to put everything back together (annoying but simple if you own magnetic screwdrivers). Again, only do this if no viable alternatives exist for you, as I'm sure it voids the warranty. Conclusion? Buy this excellent product, just be prepared for a "project" if this is going on a wall in a SOHO setting. ## Frequently Bought Together - TP-Link 16 Port Gigabit Ethernet Network Switch, Desktop/ Wall-Mount, Fanless, Sturdy Metal w/ Shielded Ports, Traffic Optimization, Unmanaged (TL-SG116) Black - TP-Link TL-SG108 8 Port Gigabit Unmanaged Ethernet Network Switch, Ethernet Splitter Plug & Play Fanless Metal Design Shielded Ports Traffic Optimization - TP-Link TL-SG105, 5 Port Gigabit Unmanaged Ethernet Switch, Network Hub, Ethernet Splitter, Plug & Play, Fanless Metal Design, Shielded Ports, Traffic Optimization,Navy Blue --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.be/products/91215374-16-port-gigabit-ethernet-network-switch-desktop-wall-mount-fanless](https://www.desertcart.be/products/91215374-16-port-gigabit-ethernet-network-switch-desktop-wall-mount-fanless) --- *Product available on Desertcart Belgium* *Store origin: BE* *Last updated: 2026-04-22*
