Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is the difference between managed and unmanaged switches?

An unmanaged switch, like the TL-SG1024D, is a plug-and-play device that does not require configuration. Managed switches offer advanced features and configurations, allowing for greater control over the network.

2. Can I use this switch for Power over Ethernet (PoE)?

No, the TL-SG1024D does not support Power over Ethernet (PoE). It is a standard unmanaged switch that does not provide power through the Ethernet cables.

3. Does this switch support VLANs?

Since the TL-SG1024D is an unmanaged switch, it does not support Virtual LANs (VLANs). If you need VLAN support, consider a managed switch.

4. How many devices can I connect to this switch?

The TL-SG1024D has 24 ports, allowing you to connect up to 24 devices directly. For more devices, you can use additional switches or networking devices.

5. Is the TL-SG1024D suitable for home use?

While the TL-SG1024D is primarily designed for small to medium-sized businesses, it can also be used in home networks, especially if you have multiple devices that require wired connections for high-speed internet access.
