What happened
Tom's Hardware posted a limited-time deal on a 5-port TP-Link gigabit Ethernet switch for under $10, pitched as a plug-and-play way to replace laggy Wi-Fi with wired LAN. The article body is almost entirely site boilerplate with no review, benchmark, or technical detail beyond the headline.
Why it matters
No actionable takeaway for builders; this is a deal alert with no testing data, model number, or comparison. If you need a cheap unmanaged gigabit switch, the price point is notable, but there is nothing here to inform a purchasing decision beyond 'it exists and is cheap.'
Discussion angle
Skip this segment — there is no technical content to discuss; at most mention that sub-$10 unmanaged gigabit switches are now commodity-priced if anyone is wiring a home lab.
