Perfect complement to Router Upgrade

"I recently upgraded my 8 port Linksys Router with a D-Link DIR-655 Extreme N. It only had 4 ports and I had to relocate it upstairs to get the wireless component in a usable config. This left 8 network cables in the basement (including my Vonage port) with no connection point. This green-friendly switch gave me the connectivity I needed. Works as advertised -- nice switch!..."

"Says it can work in a mixed port speed environment, which it can, but itll run at the slowest ports speed. ie. if you have 2 computers at 100mbit and 2 at 1000mbit, the switch will limit all ports transfer speeds to 100mbit. Theres other gigbit switches out there that can work better with the mixed port speed environment, dont make the same mistake as me and buy this switch!..." Read Full Review »

"Hmm ... not sure why the review from august 2006 says that plugging in a slower device slows all the ports down; thats not ture. The 1GBPs works as advertised; still caused BURN errors trying to burn DVDs straight from my NAS (1G) but huge files copy over well. Runs very cool. I got it for $32 wi …"  Read Full Review »

Both switches have worked great, without any discernible drop in speed from the most distant point in the cascade. I subsequently added a 5-port D-Link switch to put a third layer in the cascade, and still no drop in …"  Read Full Review »

"For the money it would be hard to find a better switch. It supports Jumbo Frames (9600bytes), QoS (802.1p/802.3x), & 10/100/1000 port speeds (full duplex). I use it in conjunction with the DGL-4100 Gig gaming router. It's exceptionally fast for devices with Gig NICs. It also sped up my LAN for 10/10 …"  Read Full Review »
