Customer Rating:

Summary: Plug it in and it works!
Comment: One's expectations for little devices like this one is that one can just plug it in and it works. That was the case. It came out of the box, I hooked it up, and voila! Granted, my application is a simple home Ethernet distribution, but isn't that all the more reason for this device to "just work"?

Customer Rating:

Summary: Good choice for home or small office
Comment: Installation was trouble free and simple. . I am using this with a D-Link DGS-2208 8-port switch connected to 2 PCs, 3 Macs, Apple Time Capsule, DroboShare and HP OfficeJet. No problems and great performance.

Customer Rating:

Summary: Fanless Works With Jumbo Frames Great!
Comment: This is an excellent switch and fortunately has no fans to fail and make noise. I own several of these and they have been reliable.

Customer Rating:

Summary: Groovy
Comment: Works great... good price. What more can I say? (granted I didn't do any super geeky bandwidth testing, but works fine)

Customer Rating:

Summary: works perfect with minor cons
Comment: Pros
- low power as advertised - measured the power consumption using kill-a-watt with 2 NAS connected to the switch. The reading was 2 Watt. Swapped the switch to Netgear GS605 (5-port gigabit switch), the reading was 5 Watt. D-link also really does power saving, I disconnect one NAS from the switch, power drops to 1 Watt, and I disconnect the last NAS, power reading drops to 0 Watt. Since I NAS running 24/7, power saving is important as it adds up the cost, I dumped m Netgear gigabit switch and swapped to Dlink
- Plug and Play, Reliable - the thing just worked. I have owning one since Dec 2007, it's been running 24/7 and it does not fail on me yet. I purchased another two recently to expand NAS home network.

Cons
- Outdated outside design - perhaps D-link could work a bit more on on the cosmetic appearance. This switch probably blend into work environment ok but for home I personally think Netgear GS605/GS608 offer a more friendly appearance for home network switch.
- No vertical stand - why D-link doesn't provide a vertical stand for this switch?
