I don't see any ports labeled uplink for connection to my other switch does this mean it no capable of being connected as an expansion switch.

The question is vague. Everyone else has answered the base question, but what might be implied is that a high end server-rack quality switch will have a port that is generally the next step up from the other ports, so in this case there would be a 10Gb port for the "uplink" so as to not bottleneck the other devices trying to make full use of the 1 Gb ports. The REALLY high end switches has a Fiber "uplink" port to completely eliminate such bottlenecks, but again, that is the realm of rack quality switches. But yes, as everyone else stated, any port can be the uplink, usually it is the one closest to where that uplink goes. At work, I have an 8 port Gb switch. Port 8 is closest to the wall so I use that for the uplink and I use 1-7 for all my re-imaging tasks or users that need to connect to sort out a problem. For non-rack switches, you will always give up one port to the machine-gods and the rest to connect as you wish, so when shopping, always keep in mind your total ports needed equals "# of devices +1 (uplink)".

Does this switch support link aggregation ? Looking to hook up a decent Synology NAS which has two Ethernet ports to utilize the higher throughput.

he TL-SG108E does support Link Aggregation. For more information on how to use this feature, please visit our official website to find the User Guide. Regards, TP-Link Support

I have a modem router combo and am out of ports, can I use the switch on this type of box? And if so, how do I hook it up?

Yes you can. It is real easy to hook up. Hook a NIC (network) cable into one of the ports of the router and the other end plugs into the last port on the switch. You now have the rest of the ports to run other computers/smart printers or such to.

Does the TL-SG108 mount on a wall?

Yes, it can be wall mounted or under a desk.
