DGS-1210-26

Gets the job done, doesn't seem to have the reliability problems I had with Netgear.

I have been using this in my network for over 1 and a half years. if you are a networking student this is a great switch to use before you go to a Cisco switch. the UI is not the most user-friendly but it is way better than cisco. this is a layer 2 switch with layer 3 blocking features. it will autoconfigure out of the box to a 10.0.0.1/8 network but this is easy to change via the online interface. the sfp ports are a breeze to set up and I currently have a cisco 3750 switch hooked up to it via one of these ports. the Dlink and Cisco switches will have a duplex mismatch to start with but if you leave the sfp duplex setting to auto they will self negotiate.

Really needed to upgrade my home network and getting this switch was a great choice for me. The only thing I wish was that the vendor did a test before selling this item. One of the ports isn't working (notice port 17) and I can hear a screw inside when I move the switch around. Otherwise it's a good switch, fast and has been running since it came. The management application has a few quirks (isn't the best UI), but it gets the job done and it's very straight forward.Pros- Fast transfer/performance- Indicators are a blessing coming from my previous router- Web management- Not a hot unit + comes with a few power saving features- Do the research, there is a lot more great features, but these are things I thought I would highlightCons- 1 port didn't work- screw was loose (inside) when the item arrived

Works as described.

Although now that I think about it, it's not a computer part, but a system part. Maybe? Anyway, I'm sure it's working well because hubby is not telling me about junky switches.

This switch works a hell of a lot better than I expected. I'm using up all 10 ports. Have not tried the SFP ports yet, but plan on getting a second switch to stack using a direct connect cable.My furthest connection is approximately 100ft and with gigabit fiber internet.. out of a theoretical 950mbps "real world " speed.. the device speed tests at a range of 940 to 950mbps. This is with each port (minus one) feeding a device. Most connection I have ran Cat6 24awg, but there are a couple using the existing Cat5e 26awg.

These are obviously used. They have an asset tag for a telecom agency in Brazil. There is a "Security Seal", but when you look at it, you can tell they put a clean security seal over a broken one. This is not a new device. Not only is it fraudulently being sold as new, but the seller is going out of their way to make it look new when it clearly is not.As a managed switch, this device is of unknown lineage and has the potential to infect your network with malware, intercept your data and send it to a 3rd party, or who knows what else.I'm returning this.Run away from this listing. Do not risk the security of your network on this device.

The unit i bought was 'refurbished' which i think meant it was powered on and lights lit up. It came with an unknown password but after a factory reset it programmed and has been working perfectly.
