Works great
This is the first network switch that I have bought for myself, and I am very happy with it, I have an Internet connection going in one port and three other devices connected to use the connection and it works great, don’t get interference between packets and had no problems at all.A nice thing I would like to add is this switch can run 24/7 and not even get warm at all, very good product. Another nice thing is the metal chassis feels great to the touch be a long way compared to a plastic product, very much worth the little extra (or less sometimes thanks to Amazon price changes all the time XD).Highly recommend to anyone, I use it as a networking hub for my room at home and works perfectly had no issues yet and doubt I will.

Perfect for my needs
These little gigabit switches are great. They are practically plug and play. They are metal which in today’s standard of plastic everything is a ray of light. I bought two of these little beauties to connect a xbox one, PVR, Amazon Fire TV and Router via a Gigabit powerline plug to the top floor of my 3 storey house to also connect my Desktop pc, Xbox 360 , Home media server, Smart Tv so they can all see each other and stream from the internet or media server without issue and I can happily say it works fantastic without issue. I know the brand name is relatively unknown but all brands need to start somewhere and at least this one is stepping out of the norm to deliver a quality little item at a great price.

Works great
After upgrading my internet connection to nearly-gigabit fibre I realised that wifi wasn’t going to cut it anymore, so ran a cable down to the lounge and bought this switch to fan it out to the various devices there. It works a treat. Bit of a shame that the power connector is on the side instead of the back, but not that big of a deal as I have it stuffed into the recess of my TV stand where the blinkenlights can be seen but not much else. It just works and appears to forward packets between the ports at full speed and minimal latency which is all you can really ask for!

The Best 5-Port Gigabit Unmanaged Switch?
I knew nothing about switches other than that I needed two of them. I have a Draytek router which, like most routers, has a built in 4 port switch. The problem with mine, a 2820n, is that only one of these LAN ports is gigabit, and I needed three at the router location, and four more in another room where various items are connected to a Devolo dLAN 1200+ WiFi, which only has two gigabit LAN ports for wired connections.Having put a lot of effort and expense into having PCs, Macs, iPads and home entertainment boxes working just the way I want them, I didn’t want everything messed up by probably the cheapest bit of electronics in the system, so I started googling (actually DuckDuckGo-ing) switches to find out what was available and well considered. Most tech sites advised that, these days, almost any unmanaged switch will do the job perfectly well, with the only common advice being to consider getting one with a metal case for extra durability.All that was left was to sort the available switches by average customer review on Amazon, and look at people’s real life experiences.This TRENDnet was by no means the only choice, but was well liked by network engineers and people who obviously understood switches, which I certainly didn’t. It also makes much of its GREENnet technology for which it claims 70% power savings, reducing power supplied to unused ports, ports with equipment that’s turned off, and to shorter cable lengths. It looked like a good choice, and I ordered two.I’d noted some reviews saying how small the units are, but I was unprepared for the tiny little thing nestling in its much larger cardboard box. People have also commented on which hardware revision they were supplied: mine were UK models V3.1R. There is now a V4.0R, but the main difference seems to be the front panel, which now has one row of multi purpose LEDs instead of two rows, one for connection and one for gigabit speed, on V3.1R.Apart from the switch, the box contained a UK power supply, an instruction booklet, and a pad of rubber feet. The box itself has a mass of technical information for those who understand it, and the welcome if surprising statement that this cheap little switch comes with a 3 year warranty and 24/7 tech support!The back panel has the power socket, and five gigabit ports. I connected a short Cat6A patch cable from the router’s gigabit port to the TRENDnet’s port #1, and then, to begin with, my main PC to port #2, the Devolo 1200+ Powerline to #3, and then plugged it into the mains. The switch is Plug & Play, and no configuration is needed or possible. It was immediately obvious that something wasn’t right. I had both green lights on for the router and Devolo connections, indicating that both were connected at gigabit speeds, but only one green light for the PC, meaning that it was connected but only at Fast Ethernet speed. I unplugged the PC from #2 and transferred it to #4 and promptly got the two green lights.Given the price of the switch, and the fact I didn’t need all five ports at the moment, I was tempted to just carry on with the configuration that worked, but having seen the offer of a 24/7 helpline, I thought I’d give it a go. I went to the UK website, and the first pleasant surprise was an 0800 phone number! The call was answered straight away, and after being routed through a couple of options to get me to the right person, I found myself speaking to a very polite tech person within 60 seconds of dialing. Of course, I might have just got lucky and phoned at a quiet time, but even so!The tech gentleman apologized for needing to take some details, and then asked for the problem. He asked me to plug the PC into the as yet unused port #5, which worked as it should, and then back into the original port #2. Embarrassingly this port now also worked perfectly. It was my turn to apologize for wasting his time, but he couldn’t have been nicer, gave me a tech support ticket number and told me to phone back with any further questions or problems.I then unpacked the second switch, and, long story short, everything worked perfectly first time.I’ve only just bought these switches, so I can’t comment on how long they will keep working, but with a 3 year warranty that shouldn’t be a problem. Apart from that, I can’t imagine how an unmanaged gigabit switch could be any better. You need to use cables that are at least Cat5e, and as with all 5 port switches, one port is used to connect to the source of the signal, the router, other switch etc, so you will have four expansion ports. If this isn’t enough, consider an 8 port switch, a bit bigger and a bit more expensive. Your network devices will need to support gigabit speeds, sometimes written as 1000 Mbit/s, to take advantage of the best possible speed, but if they are the slower Fast Ethernet standard, sometimes 10/100 Mbit/s, such as a Sky box, most Blu Ray players etc, they will still work but no faster than their own lower maximum speed.So, thoroughly recommended, a genuine 5 star buy.

Reliable, robust and good looking switch!
I have a neon green themed PC and peripherals, so I thought I’d get something quality and pretty, this fit the bill to perfection.Solidly been on for months – not a blip, never had to reset it (not that its difficult). Love the metal construction and overall aesthetic.Low latency, managed to get a 70 MB/s max data transfer speed between my PC and my stepbrothers – awesome result.You get what you pay for, I’d buy it again, recommend to anyone needing a good looking, well performing, reliable desktop switch!

Small and perfectly formed
I bought two of these units and they do exactly what I need them to do – connect the 4 PCs in the house on a 1Gb ethernet network. Really good value for money.Be aware however if you are considering buying one of these switches, internet access from a PC without a 1Gb network card installed will slow down to the point of not being usable due to ‘choking’ on data transfer speeds that it is unable to process quickly enough.

I seemed to get a bad unit. It worked briefly but then the connection for all devices started failing intermittently and the AP that was getting power would not work reliably. Returned the unit for full refund – great service from Amazon

La entrega del switch fue antes de la fecha acordada, sacas el equipo conectas cable del ruteador de tu empresa de internet, conectas tu computadora o tus tv y a disfrutar. Muy fácil de instalar y usar.

Marca nuova e ho deciso di prendere questo anziché altre marche più conosciute che dire non lo immaginavo così mi stabilizza la connessione e il ping messo tra il router e il modem e va che è un amore design molto elegante e robusto penso che acquisterò anche altro della stessa marca.

I have never had occasion to use a dedicated Gigabit Ethernet Switch like this Trendnet procured 5-port switch that I bought at Amazon.com for a ridiculously low price, and Kudos for that! We just got FIOS TV, Phone, and Internet from Verizon, and contrary to what most people do with their networks (wanting everything to be wireless in general, if possible) I wanted to wire up all of my PC’s of consequence with the Verizon Dual Core CPU-controlled Router/Modem for the FIOS system, which is a most remarkable system to put it mildly.When the technician first wired up the FIOS network we picked my main PC as the No.1 “system PC” which we based all of the network settings on, cloning them to each PC desktop. I have three dedicated Folding@Home (Stanford research program that crunches proteins to simulate “protein folding” in order to study how diseases propagate, mature, and change amongst other things) rigs, which are Core i7 CPU-based desktops and I wanted each to benefit from the FIOS system’s raw speed for transmitting the vast array and substance of data that they necessarily work through each day…literally many hundreds of millions of bytes of data transferred from Stanford to my PC’s, and then after synthesis and the “folding” is complete and a Work Unit is done, the resulting 100-million+ byte files get transmitted back to Stanford.Using wireless with my previous system, Time-Warner Cable internet and TV, resulted in transmission times of up to 25 minutes for the largest Work Units which are called “Big Advanced Work Units”,that is just plain unacceptable. The Cable network had a grand total of 1MB/sec or “megabits per second” upload speed, which is typical of cable modems and services. However the new FIOS system has 35MB/sec upload and download speeds both, a most remarkable thing to use I’ll tell you right now, and I wanted the PC’s to be hard wired to take advantage of this unbelievable speed for uploading my files day in and out. Hence enter the Trendnet switch for including all of my PC’s, my network printer, an external backup USB HD, my twin RAID system for PC No.1 which communicates through the network also, so I had a need for exactly 4 extra ports, and this switch is exactly what the doctor ordered.Wiring up the system with Cat-5 Ethernet wires was simple, and our technician cut the cables to be exactly the correct length for each PC in the room, with fresh, brand-new, clean and nicely colored beige cable to match our carpet, a nice touch. The Verizon FIOS Router had the usual 4-ports for use, typical there, and combined with the Trendnet switch I had just enough ports to include all 4 PC’s including the PC No.1 which is my server also on the PC side. On the Mac side (entertainment and AppleTV mostly used for that system) I have one PowerMac G5 M9591LL/A Server to run on the network also, and an AppleTV system also with a line from the Mac to the ATV system, so the technician cut wires for that application also, thanks Verizon!The Trendnet Gigabit switch works a treat in practice, as I didn’t lose any of the FIOS network speed to cable or switch loss, to speak of anyway, with upload file speeds approaching 1000 bytes per second, a most welcome change from the cable system! Typically now using the FIOS system we are averaging 1.5 minute transmission times for the biggest files now, and as little as 20-30 seconds for the nominal sizes files from the PC’s to Stanford’s servers at the FAHome Labs in Palo Alto, CA. My network printer works perfect using the switch also, so no pain there at all, it’s just simply perfect through the switch. My RAID systems are also working 100% through the switch, without data or packet loss to speak of, so on all fronts this switch is as perfect performing as I could have imagined, and then some!I like the design especially, a very strong point, with a steel case, albeit small but sturdy and strong, and having the LED indicator lights on the front of the switch, and the connections on the rear of the switch is ideal. Very nicely done, Trendnet! The switch comes with a 3-year warranty also, a nice touch from Trendnet to compliment this high-quality switch that looks ever so KUHL with its green LED’s flashing off and on, indicating activity through the PC’s and the network and RAIDs. This is a very high quality switch from all angles, and I don’t think it’s necessary to spend $100 or more on some fancy Gig E switch when this little switch does all you want and then some.Overall I’m rating the switch 5-Stars for fantastic design, performance and functionality par supreme! I can’t think of anything I’d change about it, since Trendnet thought it all out thoroughly before marketing this switch series in several configurations, so Kudos to Trendnet. I have nothing but compliments for this thing, as it is seamless, does its job 100% of the time 100% effectively without any speed loss or packet loss through the network that I can tell of anyway.Of course we kept our laptops (2 MacBook Pros and one PC notebook+ a PC netbook) wireless for the new FIOS system, and they are getting 20MB/second upload and download speeds, most remarkable there also! Between the FIOS 35MB/sec and higher (we measure typically up to 45MB/sec speed during downloads, and 31-35MB/sec upload speeds in the network so far) speeds and the Trendnet switch’s ability to work with the FIOS Router to bring the speed of this new network to each component is superb and I can’t find any fault with this switch, it just performs 100% and then some again, seamless in the network.That’s the story of my uses for this switch, and I am totally satisfied with its design, performance and utility with 5 effective ports for use. Give Trendnet a big Thumbs UP for the switch that costs a pittance and performs like the multi-hundred $$ switches. You won’t be disappointed if you purchase this switch, it looks great, performs 100% and then some, and I highly recommend its use for any type of network duty, be it for PC’s, Macs, printers, full duplex RAID systems and the like, it all works great with this switch in the mix. Best of all? It’ silent and runs cool no matter what the load is, in my observations so far.Trendnet’s 5-port Gigabit Ethernet Switch is a solid value, and performs with the best switches out there for a very inexpensive price, so get yours today! Don’t hesitate because of anything to do with price or performance, this one’s together 100% and more!

Ich schreibe diese Rezension, weil ich dieses Gerät nun ein zweites mal kaufen werde.Das erste läuft seit seit Januar 2011, also seit 13 Jahren (!!) völlig stressfrei. Steht auf dem Spitzboden und verbindet die Fritzbox, zwei WLAN-Accesspoints und den Sicherungskasten (SAT-over-Ip-Server)Das Gerät läuft und läuft und läuftâ¦Ich habe das Teil seit Jahren nicht mal mehr angesehen.Deswegen kaufe ich es jetzt noch einmal für die Blockhütte (zum Glück haben wir seinerzeit im Haus und Gartenmehr als ausreichend Leerrohre verlegt)Ich hoffe, dass die nun aktuelle Version der alten in nichts nachsteht – damals habe ich übrigens 29,99⬠bezahlt, 7⬠mehr als der aktuelle Preis (heute ist der 15.2.2024)
