All business here.

    Traffic LEDs on the front panel, Ethernet ports on the rear, one small DC connection on the side. How much simpler can you get? :D

    Excellent job, D-Link. Please make more of this style!

    Highly recommended!!

    Works straight out of the box, plug and play, I'm getting gigabit speeds.
    It truly is a REAL desktop switch... What I mean is that the lights are displayed on the front while the cable plug into the back. So, you can have it on your desk (or shelf) and be able to see the lights and activity without the cables having to come around to the front. So many so-called desktop switches have everything in the front, which is great for a rack, not for a desktop.
    So happy with this I bought one for my office also.

    So NICE to handle a small metal switch, instead of all of the cheap plastic junk out there. This switch STAYS PUT where you set it, the cables don't drag it around or pull it off your desktop.
    Another PLUS of this switch is that the power input is NOT on the back amid all of the network cables, it is on the side.

    One Suggestion: Provide T-shaped mounting slots, instead of just I-shaped. I wanted to mount this on the wall at 90 degrees, to soften cable bending, but had to settle for a 45 degree angle, so it would lock onto the screws. Othwerwise I am VERY PLEASED with this switch, and I am buying at least one more.

    I bought this because I wanted something for my entertainment center that wouldn't show LEDs. Turns out there are very few switches that have this feature, but the workaround is you can slap a thin/flat refrigerator magnet on the front of it and it'll stick. I think the front of it is plastic, but the metal housing around it provides enough magnetism that it'll hold the magnet on there.

    In case anyone else has the same idea, yes, it works.

    Great switch. I needed something to organize the huge mess of lan cables from various game systems. I decided on this 5 port one for two reasons. One it was a great deal from amazon warehouse and two, it had an awesome metal case design reminiscent of electronics from the 80s. I used velcro strips and mounted it sideways on my desk so I can always see the activity lights. So far, it works great and has helped me organize the cable nightmare. It also looks great!

    Reviewed in Canada on April 18, 2019

    Theres not alot to say about this switch.
    Its 16GBPS or 2GBPS X 8 ports (havnt tested this as my home or camp network is not that intensive).
    What i can tell you is every port on it performs as if they were all directly connected.
    No disconnects, random packet loss, and i have not needed to reset it via the power plug since i started using it.
    The wifi router i use for my phone and wireless devices away from home also has not needed to be rebooted since plugged in to the switch (a 2-3 day occourance before hand) which is a huge plus.
    I bought the metal model for $30 which is great for what it does. Considering i take this on the road with me so i have no worries of it breaking in my luggage.
    Stays cool. Works. The lights are a little bright but only show through on the front so you can just angle it away from your bed/couch so its non intrusive.

    It picks up your in connection almost instantly and it just works, the out connections are almost as fast. I may buy another to permanantly install at home to replace 5 port switch i paid the same amount for.

    Also: the box does include slots on the back to wall mount the switch the biggest con to the device is the power cable is very short (3ft). But hey ethernet cables are as long as you want em to be!

    Going on a year and still working great. My 600mbps ISP speed did drop down to 280mbps or so to devices after adding active ethernet connections to 6 of the 7 available ports (running to a Netgear Nighthawk R8000 brIdged to our ISP Gateway modem), but a little tinkering in router admin settings and turning off Access Control restored full ethernet speed to all devices in question. Just a note that everybody saying they aren't getting any internet signal or slower speeds may not be looking into what is actually causing the problem instead of merely blaming the device. This is a pretty dumb machine that works well - ethernet signal from modem/router IN, 1-7 ethernet lines to devices OUT at full gigabit speed (with some exceptions). This is an unmanaged switch, so not too much opportunity to blame this device for much other than a complete failure. Will update if it goes south in the next little while, but so far so good.

    This switch was so easy to setup and instantly worked without any hitches!

    Simply plug and play. My Mac Mini and my Windows Gaming rig both took to it instantaneously and with no resetting IP or configuration required on my end.

    As far as unmanaged switches go, this one is the best I’ve used. Not to mention the metal build quality is truly built to last and looks at home in my room (I bought the metal version, but a plastic is available at the time of this review). Pair this up with some solid cabling and you’ll have no regrets ;)
