-02D-Link Knows SwitchesI've owned a lot of networking gear in my days. All brands do some things well, and some things not so well. Some brands even fail miserably at certain tasks.

D-Link knows switches. They make em' cheap, they make em' efficient, and they make it last.

I use this switch in my entertainment center, fed by a Ruckus 7111/7811 beam-forming wireless receiver. It delivers connectivity to my Blu-Ray player, XBox, HTPC, and AppleTV without a hitch.

Wouldn't recommend any other brand for an in expensive ethernet switch.

did not like itI did not liked it!
It is not what I expected!
But despite all stated above it does exactly what described in specification.
If I were to read it I would keep looking for something little different.

This piece is very very tiny and functions perfectly for small networks

Netgear Switch is GreatThis switch is great. Since my house is pre-wired for an ethernet network, within 5 minutes, I had all my rooms in my whole house on the network. Verizon hooked my FIOS internet router in my basement. Merely connected one port of the router to the network wall jack closest to the router which was wired into the Verizon patch panel in my garage. Just had to place the Netgear switch on a shelf in the patch panel, plug it in to the electric outlet, plug in the ethernet connection coming from router and then each of the connections from the living room and the 3 bedrooms. Voila -- all connected to the router and to the internet.

Perfect plug 'n play routerAs so many of the other reviewers have stated, this is a great little router. Very fast, compact, and simple to use. Just plug it in using the accompanied wall adapter, then hook up the internet LAN cable, and plug in your devices. I use it as a secondary router, off the main one, for my stereo/tv setup. It seems all newer home AV components have an ethernet port built in. So I use this device to connect my Oppo Blu Ray player, my Denon AVR, and my Sony XBR9 TV.

It works great and allows for fast streaming capabilities. The Denon is capable of streaming internet radio, and this allows that to work just great. I am also in the process of creating a home network to my PC which will allow me to stream anything from my computer to the TV / home theater system.

This router easily mounts to any wall or cabinet too, with the versatile mounting holes in the back. D-link made this one a winner for sure. Amazon shipped it free, and fast, using UPS.

Connects all my home theatre gadgetsPerfect little unit and easy to set up. Just plug it in. I've connected a Sony Bravia KDL-52W5100 television, Panasonic DMP-BD60 Blu-ray player, and Asus O!Play media player. I didn't have an ethernet outlet near my home theatre system so I used a ASUS WL-330gE Multi- Functional Wireless Access Point (also a simple little gadget). So thanks to this switch (and the wireless access point), my entire home theatre system has wireless connectivity for firmware updates, network access, and Internet content.

What a difference!I recently had a big workstation crash that forced me to revisit my home network after 10 years. One of the additions was a Western Digital ShareSpace 4 TB 4-Bay Gigabit Ethernet Network Attached Storage with RAID 5 - WDA4NC40000N. When I plugged in the array and started moving files back onto my NAS, I found that things were going too slow. The new NAS has gigabit ethernet. So I started looking around. Well, I quickly figured out that my home routers and switches were way way out of date. I had a 10MBP switch and a 10/100MBPS fast switch and a 10/100 routher: wow slow stuff.

So I went on Amazon and ordered two of these netgear Gigabit switches and a Linksys by Cisco WRT320N Dual-Band Wireless-N Gigabit Router.

Well, in less than 20 minutes literally I now have a network that screams!!! I'm getting about 350MBPS so things are nice nice.

I'm really glad that I've upgraded my network equipment.

On these switches:

PROS
-metal construction very solid
-cool to touch even when running
-autocrossover - so you don't have to have special cables to link switches or lose ports to uplink use
-very durable (one of my fast switches was a netgear and it's been going strong for 10 years alone in my basement!!)

CONS
-none (other than technology does age so expect to have to replace in 5 to 10 years with the next big advance)
