Nice looking metal housing and silent operation. This switch has a number of advanced features that separate it from a regular unmanaged switch and is probably best set up on the desk via a single direct network connection before installing into an existing network; most notably, it has its own DHCP server and wants to assign IP addresses independent of the rest of your LAN. In my case, I disabled this feature and it sits in the middle of my home network doing what it does. Nice to be able to throttle individual ports and prioritize traffic with QoS on a per port level or DSCP. Happy with performance to date.
