Customer Review: Does its job well
Summary: 5 Stars
Build quality: This model is all metal, and is built like a tank. The LED's are bright enough that you'll know at a glance which mode (10/100/1000) your individual connections are operating in. Even after running constantly for days, this device isn't even warm to the touch, and I have no doubt that heat won't be an issue even during the summer. The LED panel at the front displays the link information (what speed, if any, a port is connected to) which makes it easy to see if your connection is properly auto-negotiating to the full speed of your network interface card, or if something is keeping that from happening (a bum ethernet cable, for instance)
Ease of use: This device couldn't be simpler to use. You plug (this isn't wireless) an ethernet cable from your modem or router into the switch, and the switch essentially multiplies that connection by four. I suppose the switch is technically "5-Port" (you could connect five computers together with crossover cables probably, for instance) but really, with the one taken by the connection coming from the router/modem, you've got four effective ports to be used to connect anything with a standard ethernet jack. This device is auto-negotiating as well, which means that it will automatically select the highest speed available on your network card (as long as your card supports auto-negotiation). Connecting the device to my computer, a connection was instantly established between the switch and the computer at 1gbit (1000 Mbps). Plugging in another computer, I was able to use the full 1Gbit speed to transfer files between them. Connecting to an Xbox 360, I was greeted by the 100mbps LED on the switch, which instantly let me know the speed of the connection. All devices were instantly able to connect to the internet, and take full advantage of the 23ish mbit download speed, and 3ish mbit upload speed of my internet connection. If you need to ask about some of the advanced features of the device (like jumbo frames, which I believe this device supports) you definitely don't need to be using those features. Run one ethernet cable between your modem/router and the switch, and one between the switch and each of your devices, and you should be ready to go without having to do anything else (use CAT5E or CAT6 ethernet cable for Gigabit LAN)
My Uses:
We recently switched from Comcast cable internet to AT&T U-verse. With Comcast, any room in the house was capable of housing the modem (as long as it was wired for cable TV) and as such, I was able to place the modem in my office, where it directly ran multiple devices (computers, game consoles, etc). After switching to U-Verse however, I found out that the residential gateway (the box that controls U-Verse TV/Internet/Phone) could only be located within a short distance to a box outside where U-Verse enters the house, which is located far away from my office. This didn't work for me, as I have too many devices without wireless adapters, and I didn't want to go out and spend the money to buy some. The solution I came up with, was to run a CAT5E cable through the wall, terminating it on both ends with a wall plate. With a hard line now run into my office, all I had to do was split the connection somehow, and run ethernet cables to all of my components. This switch has been working perfectly in that regard, with everything auto negotiating properly. I couldn't be happier with this device, and for the price compared to the quality of the construction, I would definitely recommend this to others (as long as they don't need the features of a router).
