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

great device and price

This product has been solid. I took it out of the box, stuck it in my media panel, plugged in all the ethernet cables and then closed up the panel. I havent had to think about it since and havent had any problems.

Works as advertised, arrived on time, I am very pleased with the switch. It also looks really nice for just a switch.

Nothing bad to report, it just works. The form factor is a bit quirky and doesnt stack well with others but that it about it.

works good

I added another client to my network which needed to be wired. Unfortunately, I had no more room on my router so I decided to purchase this switch to expand my available ethernet ports. Overall, Ive been happy with no issues. Everything is working perfectly as it should. It does have a curved top which could be a con for some, but I personally like the design. I have it connected to my D-Link DIR-655 and its been one of the best setups Ive ever had. Skip the 5 port switch and jump strait to the 8 port, you wont be disappointed.

Good switch

I loved, LOVED the D-link DGS-2208, but its not made anymore, so I got this when mine died. This switch is easy to set up and worked fine out of the box, until I tried driving my network hard with my media extenders. I have 3 xbox 360s set up as media extenders in my house. The green technology on the switch shuts the power off on the ports when the xboxes were off. It took AT LEAST two boots of the xbox to wake up the port. Its about 85% sufficient for most media streaming through my network, but most BluRays had video issues. I wish I could turn off the green technology and have this thing running wide open, but you cant. Like I said, its just fine if your extending devices on your home network, but expect frustration with a media network. I sent it back and got the DGS-1016D instead which is working just fine now.

I purchased two of these and am happy with the results. I use them to provide access to multiple electronic decvices. I am very happy with the results.

Fast, inexpensive, and no problems. The lights on the front could be more visible from wider angles, but Im only saying that because I hadnt met the minimum requirement for works in this space.
