D-Link DGS-105, 5 Port Gigabit Ethernet Switch Unmanaged, Network Splitter, Silent Fanless, Network Hub, Sturdy Metal with Shielded Ports, Desktop/Wall Mount, QoS, Energy Saving, Plug and Play

This is a review of the DGS-105 switch. I'm happy with this switch and the price, performance and features. This switch is connected to my router's built-in switch on port 5 of the DGS-105. On port 1 I have my office PC and on port 2 I have connected my NAS storage server. I was concerned primarily when buying a switch that it be able to support a fast switch fabric so I can do multiple things simultaneously with no bottlenecks. I have tested the DGS-105 and I am able to get full throughput to my NAS of 115 MB/s read and write while my PC is simultaneously watching iTunes 4K streaming or Twitch. My NAS works with Dynamic DNS so I can access my files while on travel or out of the house and the switch works fine for this purpose and I tested to make sure this works. Works on the DGS-105. I used some adhesive foam tape to tape this to a shelf in my office because the cables coming out of the front can make it tweak or move on the shelf. I was mostly concerned with concurrent transfers when buying this and it works great on my home network with a really easy installation and good performance. If you're looking for a good switch for a small area of your home or office I would suggest the DGS-105 because it can handle lots of traffic with no seeming throughput issues. I'm happy with this purchase, the quality and the price. Hope this review helps you out. If you're wondering I'm using the Synology DiskStation DS918+ and this switch can support most of the features I use on the NAS. Works with DS file on Android and streaming to my AppleTV over Samba with no issues.

Works as intended. Thank you 😊

Everything that I plugged into it worked.

I needed a simple gigabit switch that would let me add more wired devices without turning it into a project. This did exactly that. No setup, no app, no fiddling with settings. I plugged everything in and all my devices came up at the speeds I expected. That is really all I wanted from it. It feels like the kind of networking gear you can forget about once it is installed, which is a compliment. If you just need a straightforward unmanaged switch for a home office, TV area, or desk setup, this is an easy win.

So far this has been a good switch. My first one at home it was easy to install and worked on start up. The metal box is solid. The 1 Gb/s ports all work but the total throughput is about 2 Gb/s so you can't saturate all the ports but for the price it is good for home use.

I'll keep this short: I recently purchased a different Ethernet Switch, the TP-Link SG105, and the TP-Link did NOT work. I immediately returned the TP-Link for a full refund. Then I purchased this D-Link Ethernet Switch, and it WORKS PERFECTLY. I strongly recommend this D-Link Ethernet Switch.

This product saved our store. We had another device that was causing our wide format to not register. Once we replaced this our printer came back online.

I have always liked D-Link they make quality products. I can count on their products to be what they say they are never any surprises or let downs. I originally bought the D-Link DES-105 Fast Ethernet Switch cause it was immediately available for my sudden work from home covid19 work station. I liked it so much I searched for the best price and availability for the upgrade DGS-105 Gigabit Ethernet Switch and grabbed it. I love the duel green and amber flashing lights on each port indicating status of speed and activity on connections. Excellent product as expected works flawlessly up and running in minutes out of the box. Simple plug n play no software needed no needed drivers to install. The quality metal box is a big plus for me has a little heft to it feels good and solid. Sits flat on the desk when cables are attached not floating around like cheap plastic boxes do. Has 2 anchors for wall mounting or 4 stick on rubber feet for desk use. I recommend this D-Link DGS-105 Gigabit Ethernet Switch to anyone. "If it says D-Link - It Don't Stink" Richard

J'avais à disposition un routeur Netgear RP114 que je pensais utiliser en switch uniquement, ce qui est à priori toujours faisable. M'y suis-je mal pris ? Malgré plusieurs essais je n'ai pas réussi. J'ai donc décider de tenter le coup avec un pur switch. Ce D-link (marque réputée) étant en promo Prime, mon portefeuille ne risquais pas grand chose. Mon unique problème était d'étendre le nombre de mes connexions de Box Orange (fibre optique environ 1 Gb/s en download). Les Box ont en effet beaucoup de "couleurs" marketing mais peu de possibilités de connexions (3 disponibles au total). Ce Switch 5 me suffisant, c'était à tenter. N'oublions pas qu'il prends une connexion sur la Box qui n'en a plus que deux disponibles et une sur le switch qui n'en a plus que quatre utilisables. Après branchement c'est Holly Graal, le switch est reconnu immédiatement. J'ai branché pour tester une de mes imprimantes réseau Ethernet, je vais y brancher la deuxième et je conserverai les sorties disponibles de la Box pour mon deuxième PC et pour mon lecteur réseau audio Yamaha WXC-50 qui sera bien plus à l'aise en Ethernet qu'en Wi-Fi (m^me si le Wi-Fi est très bon chez moi, le Hi Res est exigeant sur la stabilité de connexion). Donc en conclusion ce D-Link est un excellent switch de petite taille, plutôt élégant et ses petites loupiottes clignotantes sont agréables à voir.

Very nice and does the job!, the only thing is the plug was an EU plug but other than that everything is great. Thank you!

En comparación a otros, este es de buena calidad y cumple con lo establecido correctamente

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Excellent Switch Gigabit — Fiable et Performant !

Depuis que je l’utilise, mon réseau est plus fluide, plus stable et je n’ai rencontré aucun problème. Je recommande vivement ce switch D-Link à tous ceux qui veulent un réseau efficace et fiable !

It has arrived sharp on time. Good price considering that is D-link product and the quality of this brand is a certainity. It is fast and easy to install, it doesn't require any network knowledge. I purchaised this product because My wi-fi connection is not always stable and the signal not always of a good quality. So I thought about this rj45 switch to solve some stability issues with some periferals like console, smart TV and my IT work station. Now all are working perfectly and the connection is stable. NOTE: It isn't a router and it isn't a wifi access point, but just a network switch.
