Pros: - Small size, low weight - Modest power requirements - Uses fairly standard/common power adapter (swappable with most D-Link devices) - Quiet and not overly bright - Stable enough for short term use
Cons: - Cannot handle heavy loads for extended periods - Requires periodic resets to avoid dropped packets - Dropped packet issue will eventually become constant
Overall Review: Rosewill makes a number of great products. This isn't one of them. I ordered two of these to use in my home network setup and one as a spare. As of today the two that have seen any use both are functionally dead. After running for long enough or under enough load, the switch will periodically just drop packets, either to a specific connection or to/from anywhere, and this will become more frequent as time goes on. You can temporarily fix the problem by power cycling the switch, but that will only last for so long, and eventually power cycling the switch will only lessen the problem. That is what happened to both of these switches that I used. I had hoped that the first was simply an outlier, but with the second breaking in the exact same way I don't think it is. I do not recommend this product.
