Review: Good switch - 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.
Review: Excellent! Works Great When Another New Switch Failed. - 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.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this switch assign IP addresses, or is it a dumb switch?  I want a dumb switch, nothing more.**
A: You have to be careful when looking at answers and writing answers because there are several competently different network components in this listing.  Some people will answer a question based on the WIFI Router even though you are asking about the switch.  The seller should have different listings to stop this confusion.  The item you are asking about is a dumb switch, and will not assign IP addresses.

**Q: Are all ports 1G line rate ??  What is the operating temperature range ??**
A: Temps are 30-105 degrees F. Speeds, heh, all ports are capable of 1GB+ which is really fast, it's a fat pipe few will ever fill. That assumes Cat-6 cables throughout the network, however. Also, in high-electronic noise situations, you're likely to need shielded  Cat-6 cables. When I bought mine (2 DGS-108s), I bought the shielded Cat6 Ethernet cables pre-made from Amazon and got rid of all my old Cat5E cords, most of whom were twenty years old anyway. I don't use wireless, I won't have it, but with three TVs, three DVDs, two work stations and a couple of laser printers and a laptop, I needed lots of ports, I figured I'd take the two-hundred-dollar hit, replace it all and be done with it, even though the TVs, DVD players and printers will never use the speed. I do have a couple of Ethernet drives that transfer at speeds a little faster than 500MB/S with the new cables and hubs, so in that regard, I got some benefit from the faster hubs. When you're talking 1GB speeds, the limiting factor is the hardware attached to the 1GB hubs rather than the Cat6 cabling and GB hubs. Good Luck.

**Q: Is the power adapter rated for 110-120v or 110-240v?**
A: input: 110-240v 50/60 Hz 0.2A 15VAoutput: 5.0v 1A

**Q: which is the input?**
A: The fifth port it the "official input" but unless you are doing something unorthodox with the wiring all ethernet cables act as a bidirectional connection line to every other connected device.
