DLink 8port 10/100/1000 Gigabit Switch Desktop

• Reviewed by: ensoftrob

  Strengths: Fast, easy to install

  Weaknesses: Power adapters are prone to failure

  Overall: My company has bought 3 of these switches. One power adapter failed just more than a year after purchase, and two other power adapters each failed within about two years. The power adapters are not covered under warranty, and a third-party company charges $35 for each replacement power adapter.I probably won't purchase D-Link products for my company again after experiencing such poor reliability.

  Strengths: Easy to install, fearly inexpensive

  Weaknesses: Don't know of any

  Overall: 8port 10/100/1000 Gigabit Switch is a good small switch. I would recommend it to others. In addition to all its great features, it also comes with 5 year warranty.

  Strengths: 8 ports, Gigabit fast, and the price is the best out there after rebates!

  Weaknesses: LED indicator lights don't light up for 10Mb connections and it runs a little warm.

  Overall: Plug and play. I just had to open the box, plug it in and connect my computers and it works great. It runs warm, but the manual says that it does that, so if you follow there directions and don't stack it on anything hot or put anything on top of it, it works great. I thought about smaller switches but for the price 8-ports was too tempting. Its fast and with all those ports there is room for more computers in the future. Good, solid, product for the money.

  Strengths: Very fast. Price was great.

  Weaknesses: Feels cheaply made.

  Overall: This was a great purchase. Runs very fast with multiple computers using it all at the same time. Would buy again. Could be made of something a bit stronger, less plastic maybe.

  Strengths: Gigabit speeds

  Weaknesses: None to speak of

  Overall: Upgraded from a 5-port 10/100 to this 8-port 10/100/1000 switch. Now I'm able to transfer files over my network much faster than before. This switch works just like the box describes and couldn't be more happier with the performance.
