This product performs as described. I have no complaints. I bought it to use multiple computers from my internet connection using wired connections. So far it's worked flawlessly.
I combined this switch with the Linksys Dual-Band Wireless-N Gaming Adapter to extend my wireless network to wired devices located in a room other than the one that contains my router. Six months ago, I never would have expected to need one Ethernet port, let alone four, in my family room; with changes in technology, you may need to upgrade to a larger workgroup switch sooner than you expect. This switch gives me extra ports to connect my Slingbox, Ooma, Blu-Ray player, and television to my home network/internet. Since the device is so simple, there's very little that can go wrong with it.Potential buyers should consider how many devices they want to connect, and then add one or two ports for future devices. If you are only worried about Blu-Ray and one or two game consoles, then this switch should be adequate both now and in the near future.

I bought this and hooked up the computer and the 360. I bought this little switch because my home network has expended a bit recently. I can use both at the same time and it doesn't effect the rest of my network upstairs. I had been using 4 port netgear wireless router to hook up everything and had already ran a wire to the basement of my house for the Xbox 360. When I added another computer in the basement I needed to be able to run an ethernet cable to it but didn't want to run another cable to the basement. I still can connect the 360 as a media center extender and stream music from any of my connected computers. In summary this switch works exactly like I expected.
I bought this switch jsut so i could have my Xbox and computer hooked up at the same time, and it has done wonderful. It was easy to hook up, just plug in and go. For just this simple application, this was an excellent purchase.
I've used both d-link and linksys switches.They both fail after a time. The d-linkseems to be a faster switch. I keep thinkingCisco would have would host the premier product. Oh well
