I have read several reviews describing a high pitched whine coming from this unit. I am happy to report that no such sound can be heard from it as it sits atop a shelving unit in my entertainment center.

Easy to set up gigabit switch; Matches well with the Archer-C7 I purchased several months earlier

None thus far

Upgrade for a 10-100 switch. Out of the box and right to work. Children notice no change which is good. Wife's desktop now is using its nic to full capacity. Have 3 desktops, 2 laptops , 8 drops through out the house.

Cheap Works Well Full 2 gbps capability

No indicators to determine connection speed

Its a simple switch so easy to install, just plug in and use. Auto senses how to configure the port and goes. Nice surprise was how well made this is. Although the case is plastic it is good quality and it doesn't look or feel cheap. As black boxes go its quite simple and elegant.

Works perfectly out of the box and I immediately saw much higher speeds on my network. This was mainly used to network my home media center components like NAS Box and PS3 as a media hub for my home TV.

Easy To Set Up; Fast Connection; Reliable Connection
