I’m not a teckie, so I found this out the hard way: three hours on the the phone with call centers across the world. If you don’t have a router, then this product is useless. If you have a router, then you don’t need this product. It is nothing but a dumb switch.
Makes me wonder what the purpose of this is.
This company uses a call center outside the US, presumably in India. I think that should be required information on all packaging these days. Infuriating having to spell your name five times, when it is nine letters long, first and last, much less trying to resolve a technical issue.

This is a simple switch, you plug your network cables in and go. But I had the same slow blinking port light that another reviewer mentioned. I tried exchanging it for another unit, but got the same results. Customer Service couldn’t help me, email to tech support has gone unanswered for 8 days (and counting). This switch was supposed to be connected to a D-Link router DI-524. But for some reason, this switch is not compatable with it. I’ve ruled out bad cables by attaching a different switch and a computer to the router(using the same cable), both worked fine.

D-Link DES-1105 5-Port 10/100 Desktop Switch was fantastic…we needed to hook up our office computers to a new copier, and wanted to go beyond the basic ethernet hub. This was simple to use and quick to install.

My dlink des-1105 has failed after less than a year, and d-link support sucks, I emailed support three days ago, got a reply today telling me to return the unit to point of purchase – after 30 days-yeah right- or call tech support, which 1st runs you in circles and then puts you on hold for 20 minutes before dropping your call – they’re all cheap chinese c**p, the difference is in the support, personally I think I’ll just trash the dlink and try the linksys

Great for the price. I purchased this when I needed to add a connection for my blu-ray player. I have a wireless router in the office. I use an electrical ethernet connection to get the ethernet signal to my Family room where I needed to connect my DirecTV and the new Samsung Blu-Ray player. I hooked this up in the Family room and connected the two boxes to the switch. That was it. Nothing to set up or configure, it just worked. Both units have Internet access and work great. My only confusion was that it stated it was a five port switch. Well you need one port for the input signal that leaves you with 4 outputs. Fine for me but it was a little confusing at first.
