Product Description


Unmanaged Gigabit Switch, 8-Port 10/100/1000Mbps

Users Product Reviews:

Product Review Summary: Good product, but D-link rebate system is clumsy

The product works fine with my printers (100Mb) and PCs (Gigabit) without the speed dropping to the lowest connection's on all ports.

D-link first rejected the rebate request saying the purchase was made outside the offer period (took almost six weeks get this reply). I had to call them and ask them to review the rebate form which clearly showed that the period allowed was later than what they claimed. Then they agreed send me the rebate (I'm told it will take another 4-5 weeks).

Product Review Summary: Exactly what I expected

I was looking for an upgrade to the gigabit ethernet and this certainly fits the bill. I traded out another switch for this one and all I noticed was the increased transfer speeds. The plug is a little funky (the cord goes off to the side) and is a bit on the short side but it hasn't really caused me any problems.

Product Review Summary: Great Device with a Great Price

I needed a simple 8 port gigabit switch to wire up my new house in. It worked as described. The huge key is that it doesn't bring the speed to the lowest speed on your network, which is great because my tivo is not gigabit. I needed gigabit to share files with my server, and it does achieve gigabit speeds on all gigabit devices.

Product Review Summary: D-Link 8-port Gigabit switch

This is an excellent switch for your gigabit network. This is the second D-Link 8-port gigabit switch in my network. I also use the 5-port version without any issues. I recommend the D-Link brand because they have been very reliable for me and they are very pleasing to the eye compared to other brands.

Product Review Summary: Defective -- or has a problem on my network

I'm replacing an old Cisco 5-port 10/100 switch with this device as I need the extra ports. I swapped this device in -- and my entire network crashed, DHCP server and all. I bounced every device on the wired network -- everything behind this switch in my bedroom did not pull IP addresses. I swapped the old CISCO back in -- the bedroom devices immediately pulled IP addresses. I repeated the swap -- again, a crash and only my TiVo plugged in. I wasted 4 hours of my life I'll never get back!

I guess you get what you pay for!
