Bought the [TP-Link 8-Port Gigabit Desktop Switch (TL-SG108)](http://www.tp-link.sg/products/details/cat-4763_TL-SG108.html) from Challenger at VivoCity for **S$43** (member’s price: S$39).

This is my first TP-Link product and I will be using this switch for my new house.

I was contemplating between this and [D-Link’s 8-Port Gigabit Desktop Switch In Metal Casing (DGS-108)](http://www.dlink.com.sg/product/dgs-108-8-port-gigabit-desktop-switch-in-metal-casing/) which retails for S$55. But I ended up choosing TP-Link’s one because it is much cheaper.

I am currently using [D-Link 8-Port Gigabit Desktop Switch (DGS-1008D)](https://lesterchan.net/blog/2011/06/16/d-link-dgs-1008d/) at my house which I bought about 5 years ago and still doing well.
