Switch doesnt do Multicast

ZyXEL GS105S Unmanaged 5-Port Desktop Gigabit Ethernet Media Switch

Pros: Cheap, small, Gigabit

Cons: Doesnt forward multicast/broadcasts.

Overall Review: After wiring up this switch, the DLNA functions on my Samsung TV stopped working. At first I thought my TV was being wierd. I couldnt imagine a simple switch could be the problem. I installed my old 100mbit switch and everything began working. I did a search on the internet and found some forum posts stating that these switches block multicasts/brodcasts. This causes certain network protocols like DLNA to cease to function. So if you have DLNA devices or any other network devices that send multicasts and/or broadcasts, DO NOT BUY THIS SWITCH
