D-Link 5-Port Gigabit Network Switch
The D-Link 5-port 10/100/1000 Desktop Switch (DGS-2205) provides an excellent solution for expanding your Gigabit network. Gigabit speed is 10 times faster than 100Mbps Fast Ethernet connection, enabling you to save time transferring bandwidth-intensive music, video, photos, graphic, and data files. By sharing the Internet, users can check e-mail, browse the web, chat with friends and family, and play online games using their own computer. To increase the functionality of your network, you can also add other Ethernet-enabled devices such as a print server, Network-Attached Storage (NAS), and Internet camera.
Great For VoIP, Video and Gaming
This 5-port Gigabit Switch supports Quality of Service (QoS) that improves the delivery of time-sensitive applications such as voice, video, and gaming traffic. With this support, make and receive jitter-free Voice over IP (VoIP) calls and experience lag-free LAN gaming
Easy to Install and Use
The DGS-2205 requires no configuration. It is compact in size, making it ideal for desktops with limited space. It also includes a wall mount kit, giving you the option of installing it on a wall or underneath a desk. Supporting Auto-MDI/MDI-X, this 5-port Gigabit Switch eliminates the need for crossover cables and uplink ports. Easy-to read LEDs display status and activity, and the cable diagnostics feature checks the condition of your Ethernet cables to see if any of them require replacement.

Literally plug and play. Needed it to use in line with a router to hook up computers upstairs in the house. Don't like to use Wifi if avoidable. Arrived very quickly o regular shipping.

I already owned one of these switches so I knew what I was getting into when I bought these. I recently purchased a house and rather than putting multiple LAN ports in each room I decided to use a single unmanaged switch in nearly every room in the house. So the configuration is simple line in to the modem, which connects to my router (DGL 4300), which connects to a 16port switch (DGS-1016D). A single LAN connection runs up through the walls to each individual room in the house (living Room, Dining room, Kitchen, and Three bedrooms) out of the wall connection I connect to these switches all of my devices. Right now I only own three of these because I only need multiple connections in three of the rooms. Long story short these switches just work, you don't need to do a thing just plug them in and go. I love them and their small footprint makes them nearly unnoticeable in the rooms. If you need a switch look no further.

This is my third DGS-2205 in my house. Super quiet, and I have not noticed any uptick in energy fees. I just wish Comcast was now as fast as my home network!
great little switch
