Customer Reviews:

• Avg. Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0

• No problems with mixed mode networks
  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.

• drama-free, affordable L2 connection
  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.

• 8-Port Gigabit for $40...Awsome!
  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
  

• Easy to use
  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.
