My experience with this router has been mixed as far as the Switch is concerned - in fact, if I connect my 1Gb devices to the Switch 4 devices and the 5th device in 10Gbits - I was expecting a self-managed connection, however, this is not the case, the switch goes into a sort of search mode with all the LEDs flashing once every 10s, without ever managing to connect. So I used my 1Gbit switch to connect all the 1Gbit devices except for 1, which is supposed to allow me to transfer large amounts of data. I was expecting something a bit more robust. I haven't yet been able to test 10Gbit speeds, as I don't have all the equipment yet. But it's a point worth knowing and I think this should be clearly stipulated because specifying Plug'n'play and self-management 10,100,1000,2500,5000,10000 bits/s is wrong! yes it's possible but with very few 1Gbits devices connected. 1 in principle! Or is my device defective?

Hi, there's the TP-Link TL-SX1008 model with 8 ports but it has ventilation... otherwise I wouldn't recommend cascading. I use a Switch 2.5G for devices with 1G bandwidth, the price is almost the same as 1G.

My tip: connect 4 devices with 10Gbit performance to the TP-Link switch and the rest to the router with 1Gbit or better with a 1Gbit switch e.g. the TP-Link TL-SG2008 (available from Galaxus). For me, 10Gbit does not work reliably as soon as 1Gbit devices or even 2.5Gbit devices are also connected to the 10Gbit TP-Link switch. The switch is unmanaged, i.e. not configurable, and you should know that it needs quite a lot of power and gets extremely hot.
