5.0 out of 5 stars Works even with complicated connection, January 8, 2009

This review is from: D-Link DES-1105 5-Port 10/100 Desktop Switch (Personal Computers)

Bought one of these for under $15. I have a powerline Ethernet adapter connected to my router. On the other end of the second powerline adapter (which uses your house electrical wiring), I connected this switch. To the switch, I connected my DirecTV DVR and also an Ethernet to USB adapter to connect to my series 2 TiVo (which only has a USB connection). Everything works perfectly. No configuration needed (obviously, couldn't do it when connecting to non-computer devices). It just works. Both the DirectTV DVR and TiVo DVR work fine, simultaneously!

This is my third purchase of the D-Link "Green" series switches. My third purchase not due to defects, but because they are such great products.

These switches are EXTREMELY easy to set up, work as advertised, and save energy over other 'regular' switches to boot! It has auto sensing ports, so they are easy to link together and it 'just works'. My only complaint would be they get a tad warm... but what electronic device doesn't?

I would recommend this switch and this entire series to anyone.
