MERCUSYS TP-Link TL-SF1005D 5-Port 10-100 Mbps Desktop Ethernet Switch-Hub, Ethernet Splitter, Plug & Play

I think this router is well worth the money. Personally I bought this to be a fail over for my fibre service as the company I'm with is a small company due to no openreach fibre as of yet. We have had a few outages and that means we have been offline multiple times and the worst was nearly 24hours. We also have lots of WiFi controlled smart devices that don't work without a connection so I have this router setup as a fail over if and when the fibre goes down and the plus side you can take it on holiday or in the car. I'm using the smarty social tariff at £12 a month which uses three network. I have a high end phone which also uses three and where I live signal and speeds are poor at best I get 30mbps on my phone. On the router I have seen spikes of 50mbps but again settles at 30ish unless early hours of the.morning. I have been testing the devices ability over a few days and been switching off our fibre connection so we are completely relying on the 4g. I did this over a few days but longest test was a Saturday where kids were home and watching tablets aswell as me having the TV on and using phones. Now this handles it quite happily and we have over 30 devices online. I could still access my cameras remotely, I experienced no buffering and I was very impressed. I feel like for a small household who doesn't require internet to work from home this would be superb. I have it located upstairs using the internal antennas sort of in the middle of the house and that seemed to be the best combination for a location to have power and access to the loft to get ethernet to main router but also signal and speeds. I can't rate this thing highly enough. I have also ordered a 5v usb to 12v adapter as that will be easier to.plug in at home but also easier to power in the car or from a power bank if we have a power outage. My only complaint is it doesn't have a battery which I could find a single one on the market that provided battery and ethernet. Not the end of the world as I have a jackery power station but just something to bare in mind. The only thing I have noticed is the WiFi strength isn't the greatest with my tablet which doesn't really affect me as my.main router does the distribution but this may just be my tablet being weird. All in all id recommend this, I would also recommend getting the usb supply atleast then you can keep the router power by a power bank or similar and move it round your home to find your best signal location like I did.

We moved in a few months ago, and our internet provider told us it would take them 3 weeks to connect us to internet, cue shock and horror as I work from home and needed to be online. Hotspotting only gets you this far when you download data and your phone provider isn't great.I researched who was the strongest signal in our area and got a SIM with enough data for the whole family to use to tie us over until then.This was perfect! Easy to set up and find on our devices, simple to connect to. Signal shows with little green lights as it does on a normal router, and the strength signal reached upstairs to the bedrooms although a bit hit-and-miss for my Roblox players. That said, it worked great to have me connected on my laptop and working with uploading and downloading heavy docs, tablets and TV streaming.It's very compact and fits on the window sill perfectly.The only downside was that it needed to be plugged in, there is a battery option but it doesn't last all day and I couldn't take the risk to run out and have internet cut during a call.Quite inexpensive compared to routers out there, so overall a very good purchase.

i was struggling with my product but customer service person Journee helped me out and was very patient so I would reccomend this service.

Bought this as a backup 4G system to the home’s erratic wired broadband.Setup was easy to follow, App simple to use.Router plugged into existing Google WiFi nest and home WiFi system back up and running in seconds.Great product.

Great value for money. So simple to setup. As you’d expect these aren’t lightening fast but they extend the network well enough for general surfing and music streaming. I just wanted a stronger signal in garden as mobile signal poor in my area. Hoping they’ll help with Blink camera setup too :)

Bought because it seemed a good price for a router that has external antenna connections if required as i use this in a camper van. I did buy some rabbit ear antennas just in case, but not needed them yet. The external antennas need activating in the app (easy to do) otherwise they won't do anything. Happy with my purchase.

WiFi used to be hit and miss in the conservatory and garden. We have this plugged in the conservatory and now have good WiFi signal all over the house and garden.Great value for money.

Didn't give the MBPs it said it would.Put SIM in phone and got speed that i needed.Was not great as couldn't work with this device.
