Unreliable [Posted on 2008-06-10]
Bought mine from a local retailer -- seemed great at first, but spontaneously drops traffic every so often for no reasons what so ever. The ports literally die and I am forced to power cycle it various times in order to get it working again -- or alternatively keep repairing the connection in windows.
I first thought it was a Vista problem, but it died for all my computers once. Maybe I got a lemon?
It Just Works!! [Posted on 2008-06-26]
To think that one can have Gbit ethernet in the home/small office at such an affordable price is just amazing to me. This switch really gives you no other option for high speed network connectivity. I also own a linksys 8 port and a netgear 8 port and both of them have had the same issue, requiring me to power off/on to restore connectivity. That being said, it could be a bad NIC somewhere on my network. However, I now own three of these 8 port D-Link switches and I have not had to power them down once.
There's really no reason to post pros/cons. This switch offers a complete management-free switched environment that performs up to expectations. I would definitely recommend buying this for any home and/or small office. Especially, if you transfer large files such as videos and/or music and image collections. Also great if you have a central backup repository for PC's/Macs.

Easy to set up and mount to wall. "No" setup... just plugged in power and cables. Nice think that I'm saving a bit of energy using the product.
Nice attractive unit... not just a beige box. Same price as "non-green/George Bush type" switches.
It Works Out of The Box (But Only Provides 7 Usable Ports) [Posted on 2008-07-04]
The only reason I give this product 4 stars is because it should not be advertised as an 8 port switch when it only provides 7 usable ports (one port is used to hook up to your internet connection, i.e., router, etc.). It thereby provides 7 usable ports. It worked out of the box for me-used one 25 ft. RJ45 cat. 5E cable going from my router to my living room, connected it to this switch, and it gave me 7 instant internet ports for the WII, the LCD TV and the satellite receiver (EVERYTHING has some internet function these days). Instant access with no hitch. Very nice.
Does just what it claims! [Posted on 2008-07-20]
This switch does just what it claims. It does NOT drop the speed of all ports to the speed of the slowest connection. It is capable of multiple port speeds simultaniously. I doubt this switch will disappoint anyone looking for a plug and play gigibit switch!
