Perfect fast and reliable network switch for my home
When I recently moved and fiber internet became available, I soon discovered that my old 5-port gigabit switch would need to be upgraded to something faster. After considerable research and shopping around, I decided to get the D-Link 5-Port 2.5 GB switch from Amazon. Making the swap was simple, just move each wire from the old switch to the new one and plug in the power cable. I also upgraded all the ethernet cables to cat 6a to handle the higher bandwidth. I checked on my internet connections and everything was working with no issues. The switch does get a little warm to the touch but not hot. I did measure the top of the switch case with my infrared thermometer and it read between 95 and 100 degrees F. I understand this is pretty typical of a fanless unmanaged switch, so nothing to worry about and well within tolerances. The switch has LED status lights to let you know connection speeds. The 2.5 GB ports match perfectly with my Wi-Fi 7 Mesh network which also operates at 2.5 GB connectivity. D-Link has been around a long time and a trusted manufacturer of network equipment, adding confidence to choosing D-Link for my home network. While it might say Gaming in its name, it works even if you're not into gaming but want a fast reliable switch at a decent price.Ver másVer menos
