I have been using it for almost 5 months now and haven't had a moments problem. Hook up your cables, and you're ready to go. I highly recommend it. This switch is small, fast, easy to set-up, easy to use, and works like a charm right out of the box. It is the definition of "Plug-and-play." Plug it in. It's reliable.
Up to 60% power saving (as declared on the box). And of course metal provides extra shielding)* Excellent quality* Perfectly works on 1 Gigabit speed* Package also contains 4 rubber legs and screws for on wall mounting (if needed)* Green. :-)Cons:None so far Bought it primarily to connect 2 PCs and NAS, but also connecting Internet Router and Xbox 360.Profs:* Small* Cool (temperature)* Metal case (asking why this is prof. Because not smelly plastic like most others. Of course haven't checked by myself.
This worked great for about 6-months, then it just stopped working. I bought this along with a larger NetGear switch. The other switch is still working for now.
I do like the port lights right on the ports, as it's easy to interpret. Mine comes unplugged/loose every so often from being moved around. I bought this to use on my workbench, and it's done it's job. The power connection seems like the weak point of an otherwise sturdy design. Wouldn't be an issue if it was screwed to a wall in a closet.
The docs are kind of limited and such features as Spanning Tree Protocol either isn't available or they forgot to mention it in their very limited documentation, online as well. I love these, we can use them in remote towers (we run a WISP) and they just run and run unlike their cheaper brothers. Don't let that defer you, this is a hot little item and the price is right, as they say on TV.
