Great little switch, have been using for for 3+ years and never had a problem (very low power usage too). Cheap way to extend the number of network ports off your router.
Would be good to have the option of powering the switch via USB. Anyone seen an adapter you could use?

I think the TP-Link 5 port has the option of USB power.

It does. I have one. Would like the metal model to offer the same.

How big is the plug/wallwart for this?

It's either the first or third from the right, can't access the extension lead very easily but it gives you some idea of size. The extension socket is also a compact design so not much spare space between sockets.

I cut out a tiny piece of paper, write on it the device it belongs to and stick it to the plug with tape so I can tell what is what.
