This review is from: D-Link DES-1026G 24-Port 10/100 Switch (Personal Computers)

The product description states that this is a "24-port 10/100 switch." It's actually better than that.

The D-Link DES-1026G has 26 ports, not 24. Twenty-four of the ports are 10/100. There are an additional two 10/100/1000 ports on the right hand side of the front panel. All of the ports provide auto crossover when necessary.

The two 10/100/1000 ports can always be used as two extra 10/100 ports. The real advantage for me is that I can connect a cat6 cable from the gigabit Ethernet port on the server directly to one of these ports, even though the installed wiring in my law office is only cat5. The 10/100/1000 ports are also useful for daisy chaining switches.

The only reason I awarded four stars, and not five, is that I can't evaluate reliability at this time.
