5 out of 5 stars Plug it in and it works!   January 7, 2009
One's expectations for little devices like this one is that one can just plug it in and it works. That was the case. It came out of the box, I hooked it up, and voila! Granted, my application is a simple home Ethernet distribution, but isn't that all the more reason for this device to "just work"?


5 out of 5 stars Good choice for home or small office   January 5, 2009
Installation was trouble free and simple. . I am using this with a D-Link DGS-2208 8-port switch connected to 2 PCs, 3 Macs, Apple Time Capsule, DroboShare and HP OfficeJet. No problems and great performance.


5 out of 5 stars Fanless Works With Jumbo Frames Great!   January 4, 2009
This is an excellent switch and fortunately has no fans to fail and make noise. I own several of these and they have been reliable.


5 out of 5 stars Groovy   January 1, 2009
Works great... good price. What more can I say? (granted I didn't do any super geeky bandwidth testing, but works fine)


4 out of 5 stars works perfect with minor cons   December 27, 2008
Pros
- low power as advertised - measured the power consumption using kill-a-watt with 2 NAS connected to the switch. The reading was 2 Watt. Swapped the switch to Netgear GS605 (5-port gigabit switch), the reading was 5 Watt. D-link also really does power saving, I disconnect one NAS from the switch, power drops to 1 Watt, and I disconnect the last NAS, power reading drops to 0 Watt. Since I NAS running 24/7, power saving is important as it adds up the cost, I dumped m Netgear gigabit switch and swapped to Dlink
- Plug and Play, Reliable - the thing just worked. I have owning one since Dec 2007, it's been running 24/7 and it does not fail on me yet. I purchased another two recently to expand NAS home network.

Cons
- Outdated outside design - perhaps D-link could work a bit more on on the cosmetic appearance. This switch probably blend into work environment ok but for home I personally think Netgear GS605/GS608 offer a more friendly appearance for home network switch.
- No vertical stand - why D-link doesn't provide a vertical stand for this switch?
