I used 2 "switches" at home: August 1 CISCO ports (run) and a 5-Port D-LINK. (Unmanaged) I already had a print server and several wifi D-LINK cards which I was very satisfied. Just over one year on: CISCO (more expensive) is HS (storm?) And the D-LINK is still there (yet connected to the same power grid) As I used very little of management at home, I replaced the old CISCO 8 ports by the D-LINK 8-Port (DGS of the same model as the 5 ports that I had). It thus remains between people great people ... And everything works flawless. To me Gigabit transfers between my ordis (3 times faster than 100Mbs!)
