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 »

"I own this switch plus the previous generation. This switch generates a lot less heat and the power supply is much smaller and cooler.



I recently greatly improved the performance of my home network when I discovered that several of my cables were cat 5 versus cat 5e or cat 6. I made new cat 5e ca …"  Read Full Review »

"Very nice and I'm without major complaints. I have noticed that some cables will not work with it and I suspect it's the cat5e 6 issue mentioned in some other reviews. Since I seem to have cables in abundance, I just plugged in another one but that could be irritating to discover without warning. "

"This item is great, but for my intended us, it is missing one important feature: the ability to act as a DHCP server.



I now have to run this to my wireless unit, which does have this capability, in order to get an IP address over to the unit. "
