Customer Review: Great little switch!
Summary: 5 Stars
If you need a Gigabit switch for your home network, give this one some serious consideration. It's built well (metal case) and just works.
I suppose that the only problem that some may have with this switch is that the ports are on the front. I have no problems with this arrangement, but it could be less than desirable in some situations.
Customer Review: Works well
Summary: 5 Stars
I have had no trouble with this switch. Other reviews suggested some major issues, especially when using two together. I think that maybe there were runs of defective products, or people with miswired networks? Not sure. Have had no issues, does not run hot, even after transferring large (gigabytes) amounts of data, still fairly cool to the touch.Customer Review: easy to use
Summary: 5 Stars
plug it in. plug in your ethernet cables. watch it go. easy as that.
There is nothing to it. This thing just works. It's fast and easy to use. I have a small home network and it's perfect for hooking up my xbox, dvr, and laptops (when i want to hardwire them) in my living room with only 1 ethernet feed to the room. good stuff.
Customer Review: Functional, but...
Summary: 3 Stars
I bought this to use on my workbench, and it's done it's job. The power connection seems like the weak point of an otherwise sturdy design. Mine comes unplugged/loose every so often from being moved around. Wouldn't be an issue if it was screwed to a wall in a closet. I do like the port lights right on the ports, as it's easy to interpret.Customer Review: great for the price
Summary: 3 Stars
Great product for the price, but one of mine shorted out. I've been using them as branches off of my main switch and they work great for drop points along the network. Like I said, I was happy with it until it got toasted, now I think I'll take the logic board to the range for some practice. The metal box is constructed very nicely though.
