When I got it, I opened it up and I just realized that it should of came with a network cable, you know for people who don't have spare ones. However I am a network geek so I have a ton of cable around so that wasn't an issue and certainly not worth taking a star off. I had D-Link stuff in the pass and they always were junk, but I have heard that D-Link is make high quality, and high performance devices again and I'm getting their stuff and have less issues that I did with Netgear and Linksys. I am very happy with this purchase. from Amazon.com Pros: It works. Plug the internet in port one, and everything else into the other ports Cons: The manual doesn't mention problems with firewalls, as my Sygate/AVG/AdAware was blocking the D-Link from working. Probably something I would just call D-Link about, but would be nice if there was a TS section. from Newegg.com This is my third purchase of the D-Link "Green" series switches. My third purchase not due to defects, but because they are such great products. from Amazon.com Pros: low cost, small size, non-flashy case, activity LEDs, fast, good sustained throughput Cons: plastic housing Other Thoughts: I use this as a desktop switch at the end of a small network with about 50 machines. Works like a charm. from Newegg.com I bought 2 and am using them in a cascaded configuration with no problems for the past month. Our configuration looks like this: We have a Qwest wireless DSL router/modem with an ETHERNET OUT port. The first DES-1105 switch is connected to that port, and then to 2 computers in the same room (1 XP, 1 Vista). I then ran a line from the 1st DES-1105 to the 2nd DES-1105 switch in the basement. from Amazon.com My dlink des-1105 has failed after less than a year, and d-link support sucks, I emailed support three days ago, got a reply today telling me to return the unit to point of purchase - after 30 days-yeah right- or call tech support, which 1st runs you in circles and then puts you on hold for 20 minutes before dropping your call - they're all cheap chinese c**p, the difference is in the support, personally I think I'll just trash the dlink and try the linksys from Amazon.com Pros: Works as intended, but it is picky about cat5 cable (see below) Cons: I received it, opened the box, pulled it out, connected three computers, and a 50 foot long cat5 cable to it. The 50 foot cat5 cable runs into another room, and is plugged into a router. On the dlink des-1105, the three computers on ports 1-3 would light up the front panel leds (solid) - no problemHowever, port 4 which was the cat5 cable running to the other room, the led was flashing a steady on-off-on-off, about once every second continuously. I called d-link, talked for over an hour to someone that spoke broken english, and one of the tests that we ran was to simply plug in the cat5 cable into one of the three computers to see if the computer had working internet. from Newegg.com Pros: Wasn't that expensive. Cons: The switch board inside is slightly loose any can wiggle when cat5's are plugged in. Also the switch does not uplink correctly to my other D-link, and netgear switches; the link keeps dropping. Tried different cat5 cables, the other devices work fine on the same ports together. from Newegg.com Pros: A great cheap switch if you need 5 ports or less. I've used it constantly for more than a year and have had no problems. from Newegg.com Pros: Small, unobtrusive design. Kinda sleak looking. Matches my D-Link router. Expands my network with 5 more ports. from Newegg.com
