Plug in the power, plug in the LAN cables… you’re set!
Nice features for a reasonable price. Simple plug & play, nothing needs to be set, perfect “unmanaged” type switch for home networks. Seems to work quite well, displays different color lights when they sense my gigabit devices (all run at full speed with this switch), backward compatability to lower LAN speeds so also works just fine with my slower devices. Low energy consumption, handy keyhole slots for wall mount.8 ports seems to be the right number for home setups. Not many people would ever need more than eight in the same area… four port setups will likely leave you wishing for more in the not-so-near future, the price difference is minimal. BUT… if all you need it for is to add a couple ports in the same area as your existing 4 port router, then the 4 port model would make more sense for you.I’m using this as a distribution point for my various downstairs home theater devices + a laptop in the same area. Router/office is upstairs on the other side of the house. Previously depended on wireless connections downstairs, but even with a good dual band AC wireless router things sometimes dropped connections or ran slow, now with a hard wired LAN connection via this switch those problems have been resolved. And now there’s more wireless bandwith left for things like Amazon Echo’s/Dot’s and home automation devices. If your device can operate via both wireless and LAN, you will almost always get faster and more reliable performance using the wired LAN connection..First one sent to me was obviously someone else’s return (grrrr), some of the factory packaging was absent, so the switch and power supply went through the mail slamming against each other. Returned for replacement without ever using it, the replacement arrived quickly, was correct with shrink wrap on the outside and the rest was in place inside as it should be to prevent shipping damage.

D-link, using them for years, all my infrastructure at home
I’ve been using D-link since my first 5 port gigabit ethernet switch I purchased for high speed internet sharing back in 1997. 3com was the big boy back then, but a gigabit switch was so expensive. D-link was affordable and hence my relationship with them began. The first switch I bought from them, had a fan, and the fan went bad after a couple of years which was painful, but I lived with it, until it died. I never replaced the fan, but never had issues when the fan stopped working, so guess I was good and the fan was extra caution.My eventual replacement, an 8 port gigabit switch was the same model, revised with no fan. I still have that one today and use it for small LAN parties and such and still works great.Purchased a 24 port for use in a SOHO, hated the fan noise (was meant for a server rack, so I ditched it. Couple of years later, purchased another 24 port (fanless) and still using that one today, no issues. Purchased a 16 port fanless for my wiring closet – been using that since 2003, no issues.So naturally, with all the good luck with D-link, I would keep going with them. I needed a switch for a garage work area and purchased this. It was moutable, so I could keep it out of the way. It’s small, quiet (fanless) and looks sleek, though I would have preferred the old rectangular box look (not marking off for that). The problem with the sleep look is that you can’t put stuff on it – it slides right off, but after all, this is a desktop switch, 5 port, so maybe that’s the point. The shell is plastic, but feels pretty sturdy. It comes with the unit and a power adapter that used the same voltage/amps as one of my cell phone chargers.Speed is good through it on my wired network – very happy, and would purchase it again.

Working well for my network
It was time to replace a very old 3com office connect 8 port gigabit switch in my basement, and since I just built a new home server, I figured i’d swap the switch now as well. The price for this was so low that I couldn’t pass it up. And since I only have two devices that are on 24/7, the ability for it to power down unused ports seemed to make sense.Powerbrick comes off parallel to the prongs, so keep that in mind since that can be a problem on some power strips (or a UPS) depending on what you already have in place. This will use up two spots if they’re closely spaced outlets lined up side to side, but it’s a boon on a wall plug since it sticks out to the side, not up or down where it would then interfere with the other plug.Went into place just fine, easily swapped out the switches, and was able to test this one out when I finished building my new server, and had to transfer about 15 terabytes from the old one to the new one. Compared to the 3com, I am getting about 15% quicker transfers now than I had been. I”ve got my server and my media PC jumbo frame rates upped, since everything else is either game consoles or wireless so not an issue.Looks good on the shelf where the dingy old whitish/tan 3com unit was, sleeker looking as well.Was a steal for the price, and the performance is certainly better than the other more expensive ones I’ve used. No complaints here at all.

Still works after 12.5 years
Purchased December 15th 2011 for $35 new on Amazon. It is now May 5th 2024 and the switch is still working flawlessly. When purchased I had 100mbps internet and now I have 1gb fiber. I’ve gone through probably 6 routers and 3 or 4 modems since then but the switch still serves my needs.I was just contemplating a new router and remembered this switch. I looked on my old orders to discover when it was purchased. After reading some more recent reviews where people are saying theirs failed fast I decided to share my experience. Maybe like many other things they don’t make them like they used to.

Fast and quiet. Does the job well.

Qualidade de construção excelente, tamanho muito reduzido comparativamente com os switch 10/100 mais antigos, fácil de montar e usar.Iluminação que diferencia quando a ligação é 100 ou 1000mbps muito útil.Sem qualquer reparo a fazer (tanto no de 8 como o de 16portas).

Contraté internet de 200 Mb pero mi estudio está separado del modem del proveedor y por WIFI solo estaba obteniendo velocidades de máximo 85 Mb, yo lo uso para trabajar asà que nada como el confiable cable. Solo fue conectar y listo velocidades de 293 Mb en promedio.

As advertised

Sehr zufrieden. Ein kleines Gerät, aber liefert gute schnelle Netzverbindungen über alle Ports. War sehr einfach und schnell in Einsatz zu bringen. Der Preis war auch günstig. Nur die Lieferungseit dauerte lange Wochen, da das Gerät aus Kalifornien geschickt wurde. Deshalb auch der Amerikanische Stecker, mit dem konnte ich ohne Adapter nichts anfangen.
