D-Link Ethernet Switch, 5-Port Gigabit Plug n Play Compact Design Fanless Desktop Switch (DGS-1005G),Black

they are great used them in tons of production locations

Dlink used to be crappy gear. Unreliable, poorly designed, squealing, and quick to fail. I would not hesitate to recommend this switch or any other Dlink product to any home or small office user. I have several of these switches in use, and have NEVER had one fail, or squeal, or be in any way unreliable. Plus theyre priced right. Best gear for the money.

Works great and is stylish, small and seems to have great performance.

Fast shipment. Working good with my TV system and computers in the downstairs den. My router is upstairs. Have had no troubles with three devices plugged into it. Well worth the money.

No complaints. My DP-Link 5 port wouldnt recognize my Synology drive but this does with no problem.

It does its job well, its just a basic network switch so really theres not too much to go on about. I have no complaints.

Ive been using D-link since my first 5 port gigabit ethernet switch I purchased for high speed internet sharing back in 1997. 3com was the big boy back then, but a gigabit switch was so expensive. D-link was affordable and hence my relationship with them began. The first switch I bought from them, had a fan, and the fan went bad after a couple of years which was painful, but I lived with it, until it died. I never replaced the fan, but never had issues when the fan stopped working, so guess I was good and the fan was extra caution. My eventual replacement, an 8 port gigabit switch was the same model, revised with no fan. I still have that one today and use it for small LAN parties and such and still works great. Purchased a 24 port for use in a SOHO, hated the fan noise (was meant for a server rack, so I ditched it. Couple of years later, purchased another 24 port (fanless) and still using that one today, no issues. Purchased a 16 port fanless for my wiring closet - been using that since 2003, no issues. So naturally, with all the good luck with D-link, I would keep going with them. I needed a switch for a garage work area and purchased this. It was moutable, so I could keep it out of the way. Its small, quiet (fanless) and looks sleek, though I would have preferred the old rectangular box look (not marking off for that). The problem with the sleep look is that you cant put stuff on it - it slides right off, but after all, this is a desktop switch, 5 port, so maybe thats the point. The shell is plastic, but feels pretty sturdy. It comes with the unit and a power adapter that used the same voltage/amps as one of my cell phone chargers. Speed is good through it on my wired network - very happy, and would purchase it again.

This item is what it says Plug n Play, all i did was connect my cables and turn it on i was all set and ready I use this item for 2 xboxs and 1 computer, it is always working and i have have had no problems yet.

I have owned this switch for six months. I does seem to work, however when I have an X-Box, laptop, desktop and receiver, plus a cable to my main switch everything on the D-Link runs slow. The lights show the uplink at a gigabit, as well as the laptop and desktop however transfer speeds are so slow movies skip and jitter. It does not matter if I unplug the receiver and/or X-Box, which connects at a slower rate showing a yellow light. I thought maybe they were slowing the whole thing down. If I have the uplink and one device it works fine, there is no need for such a configuration. It does not matter which port I plug in which cable, I have tried many combinations. I have replaced cables and they all do the same thing. Most of my other D-Link devices seem to work.

Easy to install and works without any additional setup. Connected to my cable modem via a router to add additional ports. Effective and doesnt reduce network speeds.
