D-Link GO-SW-5G 5 Port Gigabit Easy Desktop Switch, Hub, Internet Splitter, Fanless, Plug and Play - UK Model

Phenomenal product! Works way beyond my expectations!!!I bought two of them to work as a repeaters for a very long run of cable (150m) across my building site from the public fibre connection to my mobile home here in Western Ireland so I wanted cheap and cheerful rather than wasting the costs on a fibre link as it is only temporary until my house is built.Before I split the cable to go crimping I just tried them end to end to see how they worked... to my astonishment they worked brilliantly with ZERO packet loss! I was using similar brand switches (but I won't mention the manufacturer as I don't want to defame any other product as the distance to be fair is beyond the max Ethernet length) and it had severe packet loss, but now I am able to keep my long cable length without cutting it mid section to install a switch as a repeater and work away without having to fork out hundreds of Euro on fibre optic cable that I might only use for a few months more.The device is really nice too and very tiny, has no annoying fan and literally works away without any fuss! The Ireland and UK power plug is nice and neat too unlike the horrible brick of thing with the previous product I was using. I'm laying blocks on my house that are smaller than that last power supply plug I was using :) The D-Link one is just slightly larger than an Apple iPhone charger so very handy if you want to install it in an IP66 enclosure for example where space is tight.So whatever your need for a quick and handy switch/hub this is your toy! I don't normally give such reviews but I am so amazed by the product I think it is only fair! And for such a tiny price too! As I say I thought it would be basic and just get me out of a problem... I had no idea it would be this good.

My new BT Hub 2 has fewer Ethernet ports than its predecessor so I needed a small switch so that I could just plug the existing cables in without the need for a serious network reorganisation. It works well and, the main reason for buying this particular switch, it's extremely compact. Which ironically, is a bit of pain because it is so light that with cables plugged in it won't sit down on the shelf next to the BT hub because the cables have to turn 90 degrees almost immediately into a hole in the shelf!! It still works, of course, but it just looks silly sticking up in the air :) I'll try sticking it down with a Command strip. However, I can still thoroughly recommend this product particularly if you need something that looks good - and doesn't cost much.

An unmanaged switch that achieves 1Gbit. I reccomend it as its nice and compact. Though i have had a couple of syncing issues where the speed drops off this is fixed quickly with a quick restart.Amazing for the small price.

Purchased to extend the number of outlets near the TV. I needed 1 for the TV, 1 for the PS4, 1 for my Amp, and 1 for my Bluray Player. This being a 5 port, lets me do all that. You plug the "live" LAN cable in, and plug your 4 others in that you want the connection shared with and just power up and you are good to go. Really simple to set up with no other installing required and no other IT knowledge needed. Works brilliantly.

Does exactly what it says on the tin!Tiny device, very easy to hide. Plug it into the mains and plug the network cables in here and there are no issues whatsoever. All devices connected have strong connection to the main router with speed tests showing no drop in speed at all.Very pleased with this product. Have been using it for a few weeks now and still not had one issue.

I have been using one of these downstairs for about 3 years and never had a problem. Bought the second one for upstairs. It is small, quiet and unassuming! Does the job with no fuss at all.

OK so I have now had this for a fair few months now and hasn't faulted once. I'm running it 10m from the router using a cat 5 lead and works faultlessly. Handy if you want all your consoles and pc hardwired but your router is too far from them.Also handy if you want upstairs hardwired, you can simply route a single cat5 or 6 upstairs and then connect this up and your all set to hardwire your electronics

Box says UK model.Plug says otherwise. Unless of course you would want to use it in the bathroom where you’d normally plug in an electric shaver.I’m going to do that now. All four PCs in the bathroom, cause I can’t get through to Amazon to sort this out, and cant use this otherwise.What a giraffe.
