TP-Link TL-SG1016DE - Low Cost Managed Switch

Today's video covers the TL-SG1016DE low-cost managed switch. This switch has 16 1 Gigabit ports which allow you to create VLANs as well as Port Linking (Link Aggregation Groups, LAGs). I am currently running two of these and for the price they are awesome.

Great video, the clearest and concise VLAN explanation on Youtube! Everyone should start with this video. You should cut out that part and make it a separate video.
All the other videos are busy trying to explain multiple switch connections and what not.

Mike, thanks!!! Your walk-through worked for me! The one thing I was missing was including port 1 (my uplink) in my VLAN. Thanks so much. ❤

The only VLAN video out of dozens that made sense, thank you for an excellent explanation

Excellent video, Mike. Explained better than their documentation :)

I have really appreciated your knowledgeable QNAP tutorials (in my case QGD-1600P and QGD-3014) and found this video since I own a TP-Link TL-SG1024DE managed switch. Glad i have subscribed to your channel and will recommend it to colleagues.

Super helpful! Have been scouring the internet trying to find how to set up a vlan and tag properly. Thanks so much.

It's very good to see this content covers good features. Thank you

I was a bit confused to configure VLANs on that switch and your video explained it very well how we can do. Thanks !

Great Video! I will be upgrading a network rack for one of my clients, and this has been of great help!

802.1Q VLAN of this switch drove me crazy! My setup is Asus AC68U router -- TL-SG1016DE -- TP-Link A7 router for better WiFi coverage. After I made 2 VLANs with TL-SG1016DE I lost WiFi connection with android devices from TP-Link A7 router.

Thanks for this video I configured a tp link switch, 🎉

Thanks for good video! I have "little brother" Easy Smart 8 Ports Gigabit with 4 ports PoE+ (TL-SG108PE) which support LAG. I have also Proxmox VE with 3 node cluster, every nod with 2 LAN 1Gb/s ports. Proxmox support bonding -LAG. I have question - if you configure 6 ports on the switch with 6 from 3 node Proxmox VE -Will I then have speeds between 3 nods 2Gb/s?
Thanks en advance!

Thanks. Excellent video. I've used the affiliate link.

Hi Mike. Love this video. Do you know why whenever I am trying to access my switch, it goes to my modem setup instead?

Hi Mike,

Thanks for the video. It was very informative on how to setup the VLAN.

Got a quick question regarding this switch and it’s uplink to my router.

I’m looking to setup a IOT net using VLAN with this switch, with it’s uplink to an ASUS Wireless router. This is so I can separate IOTnet from my main net and devices.

All of my IOT devices will be wired to this switch. (TV, Sonos, aqara hub, etc.)

In order to complete the network segregation will I need a wireless router that has VLAN support? or will I be able to get by with any router that has firewall rules config?

What is the difference between the TP TL-SG1016DE and the TP TL-SG116E ?

Mike...It's me again! Trying to share one internet connection between two small homes (duplex) and create separate networks for each home. I love the Ubiquiti stuff but too expensive and already have multiple ASUS routers. Can I go from my Spectrum ISP modem...to a managed switch such as this, create my vLans at the switch and then feed each of two ASUS routers (in router mode) using a separate vLan to each ....and accomplish my two separate and independent networks (one in each home....the homes are separated by a party wall and are both very small) with both networks utilizing the one common ISP service? Again...I appreciate your videos and advice! Thanks Mike :)

I have 3 Proxmox nodes each with two 1GB/s network cards. Is it worth investing in a switch and connecting them via the LAG option with 2 cables each, thus increasing the speed almost 2 times? I want to install Ceph, and for it to work better, the speed of information exchange needs to be as fast as possible.
Unfortunately, the 8-port switch only supports LAG, not LACP.

Ran out of ports in one of our shops. Bought this by mistake. Can I give it a static ip and disable dhcp and use it as un-managed?
