    This is a great little router and is awesome for the price, but seems to have an issue where some NICs that initially connect at 1000 Mbps will drop to 100 Mbps for no reason. Plugging the NIC in question into any other port on the switch will allow the NIC to connect at 1000 Mbps, but plugging it back into its old port will cause it to reconnect at 100 Mbps. This behavior continues until you power cycle the switch, at which point the NIC connects at 1000 Mbps again. Dont misunderstand, this isnt a big deal, just a bit of an annoyance - when you notice a port thats supposed to be green has gone yellow, it means its time to power cycle the switch. Ive had to do this, on average, about once every two months or so.

    I own three of these along with a Netgear router. It works great. Very easy to use, just plug it in and hook up the cables to it.

    My primary PC was getting sluggish and I suspected that the no-name 8-port switch might be the culprit, so I ordered this, implemented it...and now connectivity (particularly downloads) = much faster. Should have bought a gigabit switch long ago. If youre using a 10/100 and are wondering whether a 10/100/1000 switch is worth upgrading to, buy one of these.

    I do IT work and buy these for my company. The older model use to drop packets but this one seems to keep on cranking. Have yet to have one fail and they are inexpensive.

    Works as expected, the design is nice because power and ethernet plugs in all from the back. Power switch is a nice addition. Some switches have ethernet in the front, and I suppose it depends on your use case and physical setup, but this design seems more sensible to me. Good value I was able to buy at $20, but at the list price of around $60, Id just go with something cheaper. I have a trendnet one works just as well.
