 Very good throughput for a small footprint February 1, 2008

My model is the DGS-2205 with the 5V power adapter. Like a previous reviewer, I noticed that I wasn't getting anywhere near gigabit speeds to my LaCie Ethernet Raid device. Well, that's because the LaCie Ethernet Raid Device is a slow pig.
After connecting my Mac Book Pro and my Mac Pro to the switch, I started offloading data to the Mac Pro.
Sustained throughput was 320 megabits per second with long bursts up to 720 megabits per second. At this point, the hard drive on the Macbook Pro was the bottleneck. Normally, I don't care for D-link products, but this little switch is quite the gem.
I've also noticed no noise from the unit, even when transferring large amounts of data at near wire speed.
Works Great, look for the new 5V version January 25, 2007

Works Great, Clear light indicators, good product.
There are 2 versions of this on the market. There is a early version of 7V DC and the new rev 5V DC. I would take the 5V units only.
easy -- just connect it, that's all May 17, 2009

A good switch should require no real thought to install. You plug in, connect cat5e cables, and you're done. After that, it should work invisibly, giving you good throughput and no concerns whatsoever.
This one does that. If you need a modest-cost 5-port gigabit switch, I can recommend this one without reservation.
Notes: (1) If you don't need gigabit, you can get 100mb equipment pretty cheap right now. (2) Keep in mind that you use 1 port in a switch for the incoming cable, so a 5-port gives you connection to 4 devices, 8-port allows for 7 devices, etc. (Yeah, I know, it's dumb, but that's the way techies think.) (3) If you think you might need a couple more ports later, then definitely get the 8-port switch, since you don't pay that much more for the extra ports.
If you're concerned about expectations for the brand -- I am generally pretty happy with DLink products. I certainly haven't had any breaking right after 1 year of use, as I have had for some other brands.
Great product...and you're doing something for the environment! January 20, 2009

I have two of these switches in my house (the 5-port and the 8-port) and they have both been great. Not only are they priced well, but they also use less power (according to the marketing...i've never actually measured power at the outlet with a kill-a-watt or anything), and they look and feel nice. I don't know how D-Link managed to turn things around (I always thought their stuff was junk in the past) but their latest routers/switches/hubs are all fantastic.
I'm lucky enough to have my entire house wired for Ethernet and with these switches in the house, network performance has been great. It is a night/day difference between gigabit Ethernet and 802.11g/n. I can transfer files from computer to computer at 60MB/s (a 1GB file takes about 15 seconds)!

This switch is a total gem. I have never used D-Link switches before, but I saw this one on Amazon for a decent price and decided to give it a go. It is truly the easiest thing I've installed into my home network. I originally bought it for my computer room to allow 5 more PC's to connect to my router, but the router's ports ended up frying after a lightning strike. I am now using the switch to connect all of the computers in the house (through one port on the router that goes to the Switch's uplink) and am using a dumb hub in the computer room. I have seen no drop in performance (since everything is gigabit) for daily internet usage or gaming. I have about 9 - 12 devices connected to my network at any given time and I have not encountered any problems. My network consists of PCs (Windows and Linux based), an Xbox 360 (wired) and a Nintendo Wii (wireless), with a few wireless laptops. My router has let me down a bit, but that switch is a breath of fresh air.
The unit itself is small, quiet, and cool, even stacked on top of my router. It has display lights for connected devices, which are color coded depending on if the device is gigabit capable or only 100-Base (amber for 100-base, green for gigabit). The lights blink for activity. If it matters I have the 5V version. There was no need to configure anything when I connected everything up, because it just worked. I definitely recommend this switch to anyone.
