Customer Rating:

Summary: No problems with mixed mode networks
Comment: Whatever the issues were in the reviews dated in 2006 appear to be completely resolved. I installed this unit in November 2008 and I get full speed between 1Gig ports despite having some 100Meg cards active on a few of the ports. This unit runs cool (just a tiny bit of warmth near the front), and the ports are well-spaced. For an inexpensive 1Gig switch this does the job just fine.

Customer Rating:

Summary: drama-free, affordable L2 connection
Comment: File transfers and remote desktop on the local network have improved performance. The LEDs aren't blindingly bright which is good as my unit is in my bedroom. Doesn't run hot, unit is pretty light, easy to pull off it's resting place with a tug on a cable.

Customer Rating:

Summary: 8-Port Gigabit for $40...Awsome!
Comment: My only quirk, I would have included mounting holes on the top. I mounted it upside down. From more than 5 feet you cannot tell

Customer Rating:

Summary: Easy to use
Comment: Just plug in and it works. Sparse documentation came with the unit on how to use it. The bonus software "Network Magic" is a nice addition.

Customer Rating:

Summary: Worked for less than 12 hrs
Comment: The switch worked for less than 12 hours. It worked great right out of the box. Then in the morning it tried to get online and nothing. All that happens now is the power light blinks. I spent 45 minutes talking to someone who made it apparent that they knew very little about the product and was going off a checklist. Very frustrating I will not buy another and hope I never have to talk to their tech support again. I would have given it a zero if I was allowed to.
