Let me preface by stating that I own a Computer Consulting firm. This device was replacing a gigabit router that was being used as a switch. Throughput has been solid and I've even noticed an increase in performance of video streaming from my previous device. Great performance for the money.

All I had to do was just plug in power and ethernet cable to router that's it. Very good switch, Ive own it for about a month know with no problems. I use it to stream videos with no problems. Pros small in size. gigabyte switch. LED lights show if using lower activity speeds (amber or green. no heat at all. cons (if you considerate it cons) I wish the LED lights were brighter. If you have on a shelve, you have to stand up to view activity (LED lights are on top not if front of switch).

The DGS-1008G 8-port Gigabit Desktop Switch helps you conserve energy automatically through several methods. It automatically powers down ports that have no link activity, allowing the switch to save energy by cutting power usage for unused ports or ports connected to computers that have been shut down. It can also detect connected cable lengths and adjust power usage accordingly, helping you save energy without effecting networking performance.
The 8-port Gigabit Switch is designed with the environment in mind. It is compliant with energy Star level V, as well as with the strict CEC and MEPS regulations that require the use of energy efficient power adapters. The switch is also built to follow RoHS standards to minimize use of hazardous materials and uses recyclable packaging that helps reduce waste, complying with the WEEE directive.
