drama-free, affordable L2 connection
File transfers and remote desktop on the local network have improved performance. The LEDs aren't blindingly bright which is good as my unit is in my bedroom. Doesn't run hot, unit is pretty light, easy to pull off it's resting place with a tug on a cable.

8-Port Gigabit for $40...Awsome!
My only quirk, I would have included mounting holes on the top. I mounted it upside down. From more than 5 feet you cannot tell

Easy to use
Just plug in and it works. Sparse documentation came with the unit on how to use it. The bonus software "Network Magic" is a nice addition.

Worked for less than 12 hrs
The switch worked for less than 12 hours. It worked great right out of the box. Then in the morning it tried to get online and nothing. All that happens now is the power light blinks. I spent 45 minutes talking to someone who made it apparent that they knew very little about the product and was going off a checklist. Very frustrating I will not buy another and hope I never have to talk to their tech support again. I would have given it a zero if I was allowed to.
