D-Link 16-Port Gigabit Ethernet Unmanaged Slim Switch, Traffic Optimization

I needed a simple gigabit switch that would let me add more wired devices without turning it into a project. This did exactly that. No setup, no app, no fiddling with settings. I plugged everything in and all my devices came up at the speeds I expected. That is really all I wanted from it. It feels like the kind of networking gear you can forget about once it is installed, which is a compliment. If you just need a straightforward unmanaged switch for a home office, TV area, or desk setup, this is an easy win.

This is a review of the DGS-105 switch. I'm happy with this switch and the price, performance and features. This switch is connected to my router's built-in switch on port 5 of the DGS-105. On port 1 I have my office PC and on port 2 I have connected my NAS storage server. I was concerned primarily when buying a switch that it be able to support a fast switch fabric so I can do multiple things simultaneously with no bottlenecks. I have tested the DGS-105 and I am able to get full throughput to my NAS of 115 MB/s read and write while my PC is simultaneously watching iTunes 4K streaming or Twitch. My NAS works with Dynamic DNS so I can access my files while on travel or out of the house and the switch works fine for this purpose and I tested to make sure this works. Works on the DGS-105. I used some adhesive foam tape to tape this to a shelf in my office because the cables coming out of the front can make it tweak or move on the shelf. I was mostly concerned with concurrent transfers when buying this and it works great on my home network with a really easy installation and good performance. If you're looking for a good switch for a small area of your home or office I would suggest the DGS-105 because it can handle lots of traffic with no seeming throughput issues. I'm happy with this purchase, the quality and the price. Hope this review helps you out. If you're wondering I'm using the Synology DiskStation DS918+ and this switch can support most of the features I use on the NAS. Works with DS file on Android and streaming to my AppleTV over Samba with no issues.

Everything that I plugged into it worked.

Works as intended. Thank you 😊

I don't want to leave too low of stars since this is a fluke issue. I wouldn't imagine there would be a test procedure for this during QA. That said, one of the ports shielding has a 5V potential. Images show 4V but it's 5V (I was the ground path there - body resistance - oh, so smart!) Otherwise it does what you would expect. Plug your router into one port, plug all your devices into another. It just works. It's a dumb switch. Plug in and play. It's a gigabit switch, so if you have up/down speeds up to 1000mbps, this will allow you those speeds. Case is wall mountable without needing to attach more hardware. There is a grounding lug on the rear. Use it. Low voltage communication equipment should always be grounded. This smart lady did not. Maybe her arm would not have gone numb from holding a shielded cable end had she grounded the equipment. Then again.. Would not have discovered the short. Return window is closed, had it for two months and just reached that port with the addition of another device. Will disassemble and add images to show cause. Ordering a new one because at this price, and that it does what it advertises, it's a great buy.

My WIFI router TP link is always errors , drop outs so i hard wired the house and tv setups with cat 6 flat wires, I can use all 8 ports with no more WIFI on the property now. Fast, easy setup plug and play for sure. Get rid of WIFI and be safe !

I bought two of these at separate times. They work just fine for streaming video, downloading/uploading files etc. I haven't noticed any downgrade in internet speed, seems to keep all my devices connected quite happily. The ethernet for my main desktop computer runs through two of them and the connection is perfect. They are happy to supply multiple devices with internet simultaneously, I haven't seen any noticeable difference in connection speed. The power cord is a decent length, just be sure there is an outlet close by. There are green lights indicating power and connection. Lights can go yellow or red for a weak/no connection. If a cable is not connected light is off. The device is quite small and discrete enough to keep on a desk or tabletop. It does put off some heat, but unit does stay quite cool to the touch. They work fantastic for any home application. Very well built and sturdy. Just keep in mind that your IN ethernet cable takes up one spot so you are left with only 4 outputs. There is no delineation between an input and an output, they all use the same ports.

This product saved our store. We had another device that was causing our wide format to not register. Once we replaced this our printer came back online.

Super produit ! Il est extrêmement durable et performant. Je l’utilise depuis des années et il n’a pas montré de signes de faiblesse. Très fiable et pratique, je le recommande vivement à tous ceux qui cherchent un produit de qualité.

Very nice and does the job!, the only thing is the plug was an EU plug but other than that everything is great. Thank you!

En comparación a otros, este es de buena calidad y cumple con lo establecido correctamente

It has arrived sharp on time. Good price considering that is D-link product and the quality of this brand is a certainity. It is fast and easy to install, it doesn't require any network knowledge. I purchaised this product because My wi-fi connection is not always stable and the signal not always of a good quality. So I thought about this rj45 switch to solve some stability issues with some periferals like console, smart TV and my IT work station. Now all are working perfectly and the connection is stable. NOTE: It isn't a router and it isn't a wifi access point, but just a network switch.
