Bought one for the office on December 05. It does not work. Well, it does, but it goes on and off , dropping the conecction very offen. Users are complaining about the extra time it takes them to finish their job on the network. So I will have to buy another brand , as suggested by our IT advisor. I lost my money on this one.

I purchased two of these to be used in a clustered environment which means I can't have loss of connectivity. Both switches, after a few weeks, started to reset themselves. I replaced cables and still had the same problem. I RMA'd both and the replacements are the same. DO NOT BUY THEM you will be sorry if you do.

This is not a good switch. I have this switch in a production environment and it died without warning a year after installation. I returned the product to D-Link and got a replacement but the replacement died two months later. Instead of returning it again, I will be getting a different brand switch. I will now be careful to avoid D-Link products.
