Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of D-Link DGS-2205 5-Port 10/100/1000 Desktop Switch
Customer Review: Small and effective, sometimes needs a reset
Summary: 5 Stars
I needed an ethernet switch when my college dorm this semester had 3 occupants instead of 2. My desk is next to 2 ports but one is mine and the other is one of my roommates. This product was small, highly rated, and inexpensive. I run my laptop and my xbox off of this switch, with no problems or noticeable impact in performance.
My only issue is sometimes the internet just wont connect, and a quick reset (unplug and plug back in) will bring the connection back. I'd prefer not to have this problem, but its infrequent, and could be my schools internet to begin with. Its crowded and not always reliable on its own.
Customer Review: Works great
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this switch to connect our TV, PS3 (and 2 other future products). I have 2 other D-Link 8 port gigabit switches which replaced Linksys and Netgear switches/routers. I was never a huge D-Link fan until now. My only complaint is the switch "feels" cheap because it is extremely light and made of plastic, compare that to the Netgear blue metal switches which just feel extremely solid (but trust me they aren't I had to replace the Netgear with the D-link) :)
If you need a reliable gigabit switch at a reasonable cost then get this D-Link, if you need more ports get the 8-port D-Link.
Customer Review: Fast, Easy, Reliable
Summary: 5 Stars
This D-Link switch has a small footprint and blends right in with all my other equipment. Installation was as easy as plunging in the switch, connecting my internet cable to the switch, and then connecting my other devices to the switch. Honestly, it is that easy. Throughput speeds have been reliable, and I have not noticed any lagging in my equipment.
The display is simple and easy to read. No bells and whistles, just straight up indicator lights making it easy to tell what ports are active and which ones are available.
For the price, this switch cannot be beat.

I wanted to expand the number of drops on my home network for a minimal cost. The D-Link DGS-2205 5-Port 10/100/1000 Desktop Switch cost less than $30 with a $[...] mail-in rebate. I was interested in its energy efficiency, as well, and have been pretty satisfied with its ability to run 'cool'. Is gigabit speed an overkill for a small home network? Probably for now...but I like to think ahead. I have connected my kid's WII, a Slingbox, a Blue-Ray player and added, as well, a powerline ethernet module to the available ports. I've had no issues and am very satisfied with the switch.Customer Review: Great Product!!
Summary: 5 Stars
This product exceeded my expectations. It is very similar performance wise to SMC SMCGS5 that I bought 6 month ago. The only differences I could find is that DGS-2205 costs less, runs cooler, looks better, and AC adapter covers just one outlet (instead of three) on my power strip.
Both support 9K jumbo frames no problem, and work together without a hitch. On my setup, Iperf is showing 870 Mbps through cross-over, about 850 Mbps through either switch, and about 830 Mbps through both on 4 flows. This is faster than any of my hard drives, so I'm completely satisfied.
