No hassle switch at a good price

"Use this at home to connect personal and work computers to Internet and shared backup drive. The price was right and it was literally plug and play. Can't comment on the power saving feature because all 5 ports are active all the time. With more computers supporting Gig E its nice to have a switch that is also Gig E but I don't think it actually makes any performance difference for home computers...." Read Full Review »

Great Price, noisy power supply

"Was originally attracted to this unit for its great price, was easy to install and performance is great. Unfrotunately tyhe power supply causes very anoying interferance to any AM radio within 100 feet. The problem has been isolated to the power supply. Unfortunately D-link support is saddly lacking they have not responded to my inquiry on the Internet, calling them has wasted a lot of time and yielded nothing. ..." Read Full Review »

I bought this switch specifically to build a gigabit backbone to my network. I have a couple of file servers connected to it as well as some workstations. The difference in data transfer rates between t …"  Read Full Review »

"I bought this so that I could connect my TivoHD, and my SlingBox to my cabled network. As a bonus, I was also able to connect my PS3 with ports to spare.
