Reviews around quality (4.45 of 5)

Reviews around speed (3.90 of 5)

  • It also performs nicely where I get good speed with a proper cable to get most of the LAN speed
  • I would get a decent speed of maybe 500-700mbps but with this switch installed on the middle of the line cutting the Ethernet cable in two cables of
  • Have several things run thru this, no slow speed issues.
  • I had some troubles reaching the speeds at first until i figured out that it was an issue on my side as the ethernet cable did not support the speed i wanted

Reviews around device (3.78 of 5)

  • You can plug other devices but it slows down the internet signal
  • The 2nd issue I had with this switch is that I had issues getting devices to work for instance my laptop or my desk phone will not get any Internet connection, yet if I un plug from the switch and plug into my router they work
  • Kept thinking it was multicasting on my network from all "smart" devices causing this
  • This is a great device to split the ethernet across those different devices in each room
  • This little devices is great if you need extra ports for hardwired devices

Reviews around address (3.15 of 5)

  • Upon initial installation it seemed great and worked exactly as you might expect
  • Downloading somthing fast causes all the other machines connected to this switch to experience extremely slow speeds both to other devices on the network as well as to the internet
  • And I found the DHCP client a bit flaky, so am using a static IP address
  • This might be a great switch if it were not managed, it is the managed part that sucks because it loses its management IP address and makes the same as your gateway and trust me, it is going to cause you all kinds of problems.
  • I didn't have time to chat at the moment, so I used their e-mail support option.

Reviews around wire (1.80 of 5)

  • If you have a NAS, this switch can load the Wi-Fi and load the hard wired
  • I vastly prefer Ethernet (wired) over WiFi (wireless) since not clogging up the WiFi bandwith with 20-30 more devices makes for a better experience for those devices that truly need to be wireless
  • The hard wired devices will not work when wired through this switch, but all of them work when wired to the router directly.
  • Some of the equipment in our house is hard wired and some uses wifi
  • The hard wired devices will not work when wired through this switch, but all of them work when wired to the router directly.

Reviews around ip (1.57 of 5)

  • inexpensive IP generator.would be even better with POE
  • so it isn't so vulnerable if i did assign a static ip to it.
  • (this is my job, software test).Only complaint is you have to install their software on a PC, or set a static IP on its expected network, neither of which I like.
  • And I found the DHCP client a bit flaky, so am using a static IP address
  • The only positive I have to review on is that the switch seems to have a quality build to it

Reviews around drop (1.00 of 5)

  • With distance learning in full bloom, I don’t want to hear anymore desperate drop Zoom sessions.
  • my whole network went crazy with ransom dropped webpages and failed pings (sometimes)...
  • Connections are now slow with very frequent time outs and randomly drop on both intranet and internet.
  • I currently use this one out in my unheated garage, and its been cold lately, and temperature out there has dropped below its rated operating temperature (32 to 104F) but it hasn't caused me a problem which is a bonus.
  • No lag, no drops and so small it doesn't affect the employees.
