Netgear GS108Ev3 Review and Setup

Admittedly it covers a Netgear 8 port GS108Ev3 and not a TP-Link. Though I'm pretty convinced that TP-Link took more than a casual glance at the Netgear counterpart.
If you are about to buy a switch, don't just pick one with enough ports to satisfy your immediate use case. With VLANs this is specially true. I made this mistake myself by buying a 5 port Netgear GS105Ev2. You'll outgrow a switch faster than you think.
