Cisco SG110D-08 Desktop Switch with 8 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) Ports, Limited Lifetime Protection (SG110D-08-NA)

I wish I’d known about switch boxes sooner. Finally I have great internet quality throughout the entire home. I bought a 100’ Ethernet cord with these and ran one box the back of our home and still getting 300mbps download speeds as I do in the front of the home now, even with 8 connections in each box my iMac in my back bedroom is matching the same download speeds as the one in the living room near the first box and router. I know that the speeds are dropped being split amongst devices but we’re not noticing any lag or issues which we were experiencing when only running devices on WiFi. We’re glad to be able to watch Netflix in our bedroom finally without the movie freezing up or lips not matching up with the character. Boxes were super easy to setup and well made. Work great!Setup is basically run an Ethernet from modem to router, then Ethernet curd from WiFi router to switch box. Then plug in your other devices. If you need two boxes as I did just run another Ethernet cord from box one to box two. I’d not recommend three boxes but two has been ok. To know if it’s workomg a geeen light means all is good and orange is no signal. Each port has a light.

May be a little expensive, but I get to watch my 3 gig file just zip and its finished transferring. My other switch, besides being unreliable could on a good day do a transfer of maybe 100 mb/s, struggling anywhere from 20 mb/s to 100 mb/s. This thing gives me a nice 114 mb/s nice straight line. Don't know how much easier you could make it to install. As long as you are not trying to use it as a router, just wire it up and go.

The pictures in the product show FindIT network management software... not included... additional download try before you buy that doesn't find any CISCO devices. I have this as a deskside switch for multiple devices that need wired connections.Installation is simple. unbox, plug wallwart into outlet, plug power connection into switch, turn on, plug uplink network cable into port 1 (clearly labeled) and it's running. I was hoping for some sort of web interface like the Cisco SG300-10.

Making the most out of Xfinity Gig speed internet on this switch. Speed test on 100ft cat6 is doing well over 950 Mbps, close to 960 Mbps. Numbers are basically the same as when connected directly at the modem’s router.The switch also runs cool too so no issue there. I did install taller rubber feet to raise the switch a bit away from the desk.The Xfinity supplied XB6 modem/router is where the issue of speed throttling because of heat but that has been fixed with 2 80mm fans, bottom fan forcing cooler air into the intake and top fan exhausting heat out.Highly recommend it.

You can go out and buy some no-name brand or you can sink a few extra bucks into some better quality. These switches I ordered are quite nice and you can feel a quality change over the standard TP-Link or Netgear.Nice metal casing, standard mounting holes for wall mount, rubber sticky feet and so forth.For the price difference to other models, I would buy these again. Quality in PC hardware/networking is worth it.

This is a fast wired switch and offers a gigabit connection up and down. I installed it in an investment home so that every room had a fast wired connection and could have a wireless hub added to the endpoints giving the whole home a fast wireless connection. The issue is that every once in a while (about every week or two) the switch goes down and has to be physically unplugged to be reset. (I live about 3 hours away each direction). I was really disappointed as this is a Cisco product and have liked most of their products in the past.

Cisco products are very reliable and rarely do we have a problem with them. You can get a simple to a very complex version of switches.

I purchased this switch so that I could wire my office for Ethernet rather than using wifi at home. It was easy to set up and get working right out of the box. It consistently delivers the internet speeds I expect in conjunction with my packet I pay for with Comcast. I currently have the 150Mbps program and usually am pulling speedtest results of about 170-180Mbps when I have my computers wired. I have no issues running my Xbox One and 3 Gaming PCs all at once. Would highly recommend for anyone needing a simple and reliable switch for home or home office use.

This is my fourth switch, and hopefully my last.I've had several brand some much cheaper, some not so cheap, and they all failed one way another.This time I decided to pitch in a get the CISCO brand.also, instead of a pair of 4+1 port, I took a 7+1 portI will update if anything goes wrong

I wanted the quality of Cisco. The internet provider gave me a TP-Link 5 port switch but I didn't trust it because it comes from China. I had an issue with duplicate IP address and I wanted to eliminate the TP-Link switch. I still have an issue with the duplicate IP address but I'm going to stick with the Cisco switch.

This is NOT POE capable on this model.

good value for money

Solid metal switch that is both quiet and runs cool.
