It worked for less than two months then died It was mediocre while it worked because it created LAN degradation. I did not realize it till today when I saw that it was the actual cause of my issues. I think it might have been bad from the start, cannot say. But it does not work now and I hope that DLink will replace it under warranty. 2Streamlined home theater streaming with wired connectivity A simple, yet effective device for getting multiple Ethernet connection ports. I connected this switch to my TP-Link AC750 Dual Band Wi-Fi Range Extender w/ Gigabit Ethernet Port (RE210) which is connected to an outlet near my home theater setup. I wanted wired connections for the following: HDTV, Blu-Ray player, Roku 3, Apple TV, Android Box Media Player, TiVo Roamio OTA and game system. With this switch I was able to give all of these devices wired internet connections and add faster, more stable internet connectivity for my streaming media devices.Setup was easy. I plugged in the D-Link 8-Port into a surge protected outlet and then connected an Ethernet cable from the TP-Link Range Extender into the D-Link switch. This used one of the 8 ports, leaving me 7 vacant ports to provide wired internet connections to all my devices. Connecting the range extender with a wired connection was important as it provides the wired connection for all the others. This runs through my home's electrical outlets. This setup is a great solution for cordcutters want to connect Smart TVs and streaming devices by a wired connection.I have both WiFi and wired connections in my home and I tend to get about 20% more speed with a wired connection - even using a great Linksys AC3200 Tri-Band Smart Wi-Fi Router with Gigabit and USB, Designed for Device-Heavy Homes, Smart Wi-Fi App Enabled to Control Your Network from Anywhere (EA9200) and 60 Mbps internet service.I highly recommend this switch if you want to add more wired internet connections to your home or office, and it works with range extenders using your home's electrical system. 5Pure Plug and Play with expected 1G performance on all Ports I installed 4 of the D-Link switches with a mix of 5 and 8 port types connected to a Netgear R6700v3 router with 1G ports and to each other to improve my home network backbone to 1G to reach 4 corners of the house. This particular 8 port switch is at the home entertainment center so lots of streaming and data usage. The switch performed wonderfully. Read on for how I evaluated the switch. -- These are very small and light, much smaller then the impression left from viewing the pictures. -- There is nothing more to the installation then plug it in and power it up. -- Its connects to all 8 ports almost instantly. I reach back to plug it in and view the front and all the ports were connected . -- The ethernet ports on the rear are well labeled and the numbers easily read. -- What is a true convenience is that the lights on the front phsically match the port on the back. Many other switchs reverse the order and its a total annoyance. On this switch draw a line from the port lights to the connector to know which connector is was activity light. nice! -- The front lights are easily seen. The ports show different colors for the speed, green for 1G and yellow for 100m. -- On other switches I've used when cascaded like this there seemed to be some limit to the number of cascades but with these and in my network they all operated no problem. -- Very very light and can be easily attached to desktop using double side foam tape and it holds in place when cables are attached. -- How about speed performance? I have all 8 ports used to include a TV, Blu-ray player, 2 home security DVRs which (all 100M ports) are all streaming video for this test. The TV and the Blue-ray are streaming 4K UHD video. In addition I have a laptop (with 1G port) and the R6700 router (also 1G port) connected plus 2 standalone IP security cameras (100M ports). The port light colors were correct, Green for the router and PC and yellow for all others. I could tell no difference in the 4K streaming user interface or video performance when connected through the 8 port switch or when connected directly to the router. Every device connected through the switch performed perfectly without any hint of data slowdown. I did a speed test from my PC for the broadband service and I hit the maximum data rate provided by the ISP.One thing could be improved: -- I wish there was something to attach them to a surface. There are no mounting holes . Its a smooth small box.Conclusion: Other than some 2 sided tape for mounting this is a perfect, fast and economical plug and play 1G switch. 5Good D-Link 8 Port Gigabit Unmanaged Metal Desktop Switch - plug and play It's has sufficient memory to support 1 Gbit and I like the 2-color LEDs that indicate speed, green for 1000 and orange for 10/100. I want the metal case for better heat dissipation and I prefer the LEDs opposite to the ports, for visibility in my installation. I bought it for the 3 year warranty and have not had any problems after 8 months. 5Horrible Performance So this seemed to work for a few months and then out of no where it has been slowing to molasses. I don't understand why, but when I bypass it, everything works perfectly well. At some point, it must have started dying inside or something, but I do not get a reliable connection out of it and the speeds are pretty much under 10 Mbps (25-30 when direct), but usually near 2 Mbps, and cannot sustain a reasonable YouTube video. Now I have to find a replacement because this is as good as broken. but at least it looks good? -_- 1Good Cheap Small Switch OK. Let's be clear about what this product is. It is a very simple unamanaged Gigabit ethernet switch. As such you expect it to do 1 thing. Allow you to take 1 connection and turn it into more than 1 connection. The good news is this does that. There is no bad news. It just works.Pros:- No Setup- Plug it in and it works.- No noticeable speed degradation. I don't have test equipment to verify it gives full Gig E Speeds, but it works perfectly well with my multiple video streaming devices connected to it.Cons:- None. It just works.If you are looking for a good cheap switch you won't go wrong with it. 45 port gigabit switch - it's easy! I bought two of these switches to replace my 2 fully functional D-Link 8 port fast ethernet switches. I did this as part of a whole upgrade to my routers in favor of a wireless mesh , and to take advantage of my 250MBPS download ceiling. I did a straight test with 4 different non-flash and flash speed test sites and just off a switch I was able to get in the 290mbps downloads. Upload speed was also very nice getting 12-16mbps where my service is supposed to max at 15mbps. The unboxing and setup were easy and the included rubber feet were a nice touch. The metal look is pleasing and subtlety industrial. I've been using them for a week without issues. 5A very compact switch, no setup needed This switch is very compact and works right out of the box with no setup. I am using it to share a single network connection between three computers -- a tower computer running Linux, a Raspberry Pi acting as a print server, and a Mac. The picture shows it with a Raspberry Pi for size comparison.Things I like:1. the network ports are on the back2. activity lights are on the frontMinor things I don't like:1. I would rather the power adapter socket was on the back rather than the side2. The bottom lacks anti-skid rubber feet, though these can easily be added 5Not all ports will work at full speed After you plug the ethernet cable from your router into a port, you will have four more ports available. Expect to get inconsistent results. I tried all four ports INDIVIDUALLY and found one them was outputting at only 2 Mbps while the others were outputting at 400 Mbps+ (I have gigabit service). Ordered a replacement and found the same thing with the replacement. Same cables used, same computer. Moreover, the "bad" port will move. One time it might be port 4 and next port 3, etc. 2Great Switch...be sure to carefully count the ports you need. Simple to set-up and works seamlessly.My only suggestion would be to add mounting holes on the bottom to allow mounting on a panel or wall.One warning to those new to network equipment: 5 ports means that you can connect up to 5 RJ45 connectors. If you are connecting to a network, be sure to count that connector (i.e. network plus 4 devices). These smaller switches seem to fill up fast.In my office I have 1 port to the larger network, 1 port each for my laptop, scanner and printer (my scanner and printer are stand alone). That leaves only one free port. 5
