Rating: 4.6/5 from 10 reviews Cheap and Fast, Good CombinationIt's great for any home user just coming into the world of networking. Most people mistakenly buy a hub at a slightly lesser price, but switches are far better for even the less technically hard-core users. You pay roughly 1/3 more for a switch but it gives you up to TWICE the speed of a hub because of the difference in the way they utilize a thing called full duplexing (sending and receiving information simultaneously). A hub will only do full duplex with two computers talking on the network, which is rarely the case, and with more than two computers it will go at half duplex. A switch does full duplex all the time regardless of how many computers are communicating at one time. This is what you are looking forNo doubt a great and simple piece of electronics. I consider my self a technology-saavy but I just got started with the world of HomeLans. Not knowing much, made me shop for quite a while for the best featured, great pricing device. I was quite eager to receive the D-Link DSS-5+ and it was quite easy to put it to work. In less than 10 minutes I had my network up and running. Great features like 5/port connectivity, auto speed sensing, uplink port, and low price make this a must for every home lan, even if you buy it by mistake. Small, simple but reliableI have had this equipment for a year now. In the past 11 months I have used it at my home network with an ISDN connection, but last month we upgraded to ADSL and the result is even better. My home is in Guatemala City and on this small country we have plenty of communication technology that makes this kind of services posible. Again, is the best equipment your money can buy, zero problems. I really recomend it. | ||||||||||||||
