yeah that's the disvantage for using wifi extender or using wifi router as access point.

I tried home plug, it works perfectly, think I will go with this option.

Unifi wifi router the 4 network ports allow trunking?

If without existing network ports, I dun think it is easy to implement the two ports from TM wifi router to another switch then to two different devices at different floors.

lucky my unifi tv is next to my wifi router, so no issue about this connectivity. In fact, I dun watch unifi tv at all since I am watching Astro instead.

I bought the TP-link TL-SG108 without 'E' switch to extend the gigabit Ethernet ports from my wifi router. So far so good. Previously my Sony tv I connect using wifi becos not enough ports on the wifi router, when I cast YouTube video to the tv, it always stucks at loading sometimes after a while and always need to off the wifi on the tv and on again to resolve, sometimes even need to repair the tv to my wifi to work. Now problem solved, a lot more stable on Ethernet.

And I have extra ports now to connect many other devices via wired including my MacBook Pro. I can get full internet speed connecting using wire to the newly bought switch.

Never bought the 'E' model becos I did not see it during the IT show when I bought this non 'E'. Now come to think, for home networking, I do not really need vlan tagging also.

So far so good.

it is worthwhile to buy SG108E certainly since the price difference is very little.

if it was selling at that time, i will buy it also.
too bad it was not.

yes, lucky also i do not need unifi tv and also do not need to do any port mirroring too since I am using my Internet alone. no need to monitor traffic as I am aware of what i use. haha.
