Just making sure, I rather stupidly tried to plug an ethernet cable into the DSL port a few days ago, took a few seconds to click. The DSL I converted to RT is part of an AiMesh filling in a blank spot for some fussy kit, so far it seems to do a pretty good job. When I was testing it out after working out how to convert it, I was using it to connect a few streaming devices by ethernet and it again did a pretty good job. What I can’t believe is that TP-Link blatantly copy Netgear’s switch kit to the point that they don’t even bother to change the model number by much see GS vs SG series.
TP-Link (Chinese) I believe I read somewhere that for every product sold in China, the designs/patents or simular have to be submitted, hence why so much direct copying, but usually at a lower standard.
