Review: Plug in the power, plug in the LAN cables... you're set! - Nice features for a reasonable price. Simple plug & play, nothing needs to be set, perfect "unmanaged" type switch for home networks. Seems to work quite well, displays different color lights when they sense my gigabit devices (all run at full speed with this switch), backward compatability to lower LAN speeds so also works just fine with my slower devices. Low energy consumption, handy keyhole slots for wall mount. 8 ports seems to be the right number for home setups. Not many people would ever need more than eight in the same area... four port setups will likely leave you wishing for more in the not-so-near future, the price difference is minimal. BUT... if all you need it for is to add a couple ports in the same area as your existing 4 port router, then the 4 port model would make more sense for you. I'm using this as a distribution point for my various downstairs home theater devices + a laptop in the same area. Router/office is upstairs on the other side of the house. Previously depended on wireless connections downstairs, but even with a good dual band AC wireless router things sometimes dropped connections or ran slow, now with a hard wired LAN connection via this switch those problems have been resolved. And now there's more wireless bandwith left for things like desertcart Echo's/Dot's and home automation devices. If your device can operate via both wireless and LAN, you will almost always get faster and more reliable performance using the wired LAN connection.. First one sent to me was obviously someone else's return (grrrr), some of the factory packaging was absent, so the switch and power supply went through the mail slamming against each other. Returned for replacement without ever using it, the replacement arrived quickly, was correct with shrink wrap on the outside and the rest was in place inside as it should be to prevent shipping damage.
Review: Working well for my network - It was time to replace a very old 3com office connect 8 port gigabit switch in my basement, and since I just built a new home server, I figured i'd swap the switch now as well. The price for this was so low that I couldn't pass it up. And since I only have two devices that are on 24/7, the ability for it to power down unused ports seemed to make sense. Powerbrick comes off parallel to the prongs, so keep that in mind since that can be a problem on some power strips (or a UPS) depending on what you already have in place. This will use up two spots if they're closely spaced outlets lined up side to side, but it's a boon on a wall plug since it sticks out to the side, not up or down where it would then interfere with the other plug. Went into place just fine, easily swapped out the switches, and was able to test this one out when I finished building my new server, and had to transfer about 15 terabytes from the old one to the new one. Compared to the 3com, I am getting about 15% quicker transfers now than I had been. I"ve got my server and my media PC jumbo frame rates upped, since everything else is either game consoles or wireless so not an issue. Looks good on the shelf where the dingy old whitish/tan 3com unit was, sleeker looking as well. Was a steal for the price, and the performance is certainly better than the other more expensive ones I've used. No complaints here at all.

## Features

- 16 GIGABIT PORTS – High-speed Gigabit ports allow you to connect up to 16 devices for fast file transfers and smooth media streaming.
- SLIM DIMENSIONS - The DGS-1016S packs full functionality and Gigabit performance into a slim yet sturdy metal design.
- QUALITY OF SERVICE - QoS support also enhances your network’s efficiency. QoS cleverly prioritizes network traffic so that time-sensitive data, such as VoIP or surveillance footage, are unaffected even during bursts of high-volume traffic. This allows for an all-around smoother, uninterrupted network experience.
- SILENT OPERATION – With its fanless design, the DGS-1016S provides silent operation, perfect for noise-sensitive environments.
- PLUG-AND-PLAY – No configuration or software needed.
- ENERGY-EFFICIENT DESIGN - Compliant with IEEE802.3az Energy Efficient Ethernet. Reduces heat generated and allows the switch to run silently while lowering the cost to operate.
- AUTO POWER REDUCTION - Auto power reduction when the port has little or no traffic.
- CABLE-LENGTH DETECTION - The DGS-1016S can determine the approximate length of cables attached to each port to apply just enough power for data transmission on that link, saving even more power while lowering total cost of ownership (TCO).
- WORK FROM HOME READY – Perfect for work, learn or play.
- INDUSTRY LEADING WARRANTY – Trusted brand and covered by a 5-Year Limited Warranty.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: how does it connect to my router or cable modem? i don't see a main internet line conection.**
A: Like others said here, I just connected it from my existing router into the first plug on this switch and it worked like magic. I used about 80feet of Cat-6 wire with the RJ45 end and have no loss in internet speed.

**Q: Can you assign an IP address to this ethernet switch?**
A: No.  This is an unmanaged switch.

**Q: Is this compatible with Time Warner services in New York city?**
A: Yes.

**Q: How often do you lose connection and have to reset the "switch" by unplugging power & plug back in? Thank you**
A: I am not able to with 100% certainty tell you that it's this switch (the 16-port version) that's causing me to lose connectivity in one area of the office, but I feel that it might be the culprit.  Other areas not hooked to the switch are unaffected.  I've had to unplug and power down/up the device a number of times.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great little switch - elegant packet switching
*by D***D on June 22, 2011*

I was looking for a small, low-power, reliable little 8-port gigabit enabled switch with auto mdi/mdix.. and I found it. The unit runs very cool, is completely silent, and sits eloquently in the background. Before I purchased this, I reviewed Linksys (aka Cisco), Trendnet, HP, and a few others options for aggregate throughput, buffer RAM, power usage, etc. The Dlink DGS-1008G is right at the top of the pack with 16Gbps backplane and 11.9 million packets per second, which roughly translates to .703 Gigabits of sustained throughput, which should be around 87.875MBps (MegaBytes, not bits). Keep in mind that 1Gbps = 125MB of throughput. Not any consumer switches I have found out there that can sustain this data rate. This is one of the highest throughput switches available in 8-port consumer, with HP and Trendnet second and third (in that order). Worked perfect out of the box. I made up a few more Cat5e cables and away I went. Now if Dlink would only combine this switch with a wireless router and a WAN port!!! THAT would be awesome. Update 06-26-11: Now that I have had time to test this out, I can get about 84-85 Megabytes per second of throughput, close to the numbers i mentioned above. Tested using iperf/jperf with TCP/UDP. Make sure to set all devices to jumbo frames to get this throughput. I went into network adapter settings and changed the default packet size to 9K MTU. Changed my Synology NAS for 9K also.
