Amazon.com Product Description

The D-Link DSS-8+ is a powerful desktop dual-speed 8-port 10/100 Mbps Ethernet/Fast Ethernet NWay auto-negotiating switch. Designed to bring switching to the small office and small business, the DSS-8+ delivers high-speed switching capabilities at a low price per port. The switch functionally eliminates unnecessary traffic and relieves data congestion by delivering dedicated bandwidth for each of the 8 ports. An individual port can connect to either an Ethernet or Fast Ethernet device, and n-way auto negotiation automatically determines the transmission speed of the attached device on each port.

The DSS-8+ provides dynamic buffer allocation that employs network-load balancing for faster data handling. The uplink interface connection enables easy expansion. The DSS-8+ uses fast store-and-forward architecture to ensure low latency and high data integrity.

D-Link offers a lifetime warranty.

5 out of 5 stars good price for a brand-name product that works just fine.......2007-02-01

What more can I say, you unpack it, plug it in and it works, you don't ever have to think about it again ...

5 out of 5 stars Competant Switch.......2005-09-09

What can be said about a network switch? It works or it doesn't, really. I have no complaints about this switch, it works well. I've had good luck with all D-Link hardware, really. One interesting feature is that it has an indicator to show if a network device is connected at 10Mbps or 100Mbps. I didn't know that one of my older computers had a 10M card in it until I got this switch!

5 out of 5 stars Totally Easy.......2005-09-06

DSS-8 is plug it in and walk away. Very simple. It also has a unique admin interface that you can access. You can set port forwarding, DMZ, Internal Static ip's, etc. Very Very Nice. The whole D Link line is teriffic. I am a sys admin and residential computer tech and use D Link Exclusively.

3 out of 5 stars Loud!.......2002-03-29

I purchased this switch two years ago. It works perfectly except for the noise. The fan is amazingly loud. I am currently looking for a switch to replace it just because of the noise.

I see from some of the other reviews that this model has been replaced with one that doesn't have a fan. Make sure you get that one!

5 out of 5 stars Owned for past 6 Months - Still Working - No Problems.......2001-08-16

I bought his about 6 months ago, and it sure wasn't [the price] it is now... But I made sure then that i got one without a fan. It is much quieter, and with no moving parts i am sure it wont go bad ever.

The only thing that will make me replace this is when the standard is 1000MB/s instaed of the 100MB now. But that wont be much longer.

Highly Recommended
