Pros: Caught this one on sale for a great price. I'm really starting to like this Zyxel gear, well built, solid. Its rack mountable, comes with ears, also comes with rubber feet and can be wall mounted as well. Built in power supply, no fan. Silent. On/off switch on the back.

Cons: If you need to use this as a desktop switch, note that the ports are on the front, so you'll probably put it on your desk backwards, and you wont be able to see the lights. The power cord sticks out the back.

Overall Review: There is an 802.3az button on the front. Something to do with the green low power standard. I can confirm WOL works fine through this switch. The 802.3az button doesn't affect WOL, so I am a bit at a loss what it actually does. Owners manual sheds no light. Would be nice if there was some info about the button, when it might be useful. No biggie, nice switch.

Pros: It works great. Has been working for more than 1 year. No problems. Can be rack mounted with included hardware. No fans. Low power consumption. Can sit on a shelf. Has 16 ports for a very low price. Passes gigabit traffic without any issue.

Cons: None

Overall Review: It's an unmanaged switch. What more do you want? Michael D's review on 6/24/2014 mentions DHCP, encryption, hand shakes, security flaws, and other things that have absolutely NOTHING to do with an UN-MANAGED switch! This is a simple layer-2 switch. It doesn't do anything with DHCP, encryption, hand shakes (beyond those required by the hardware), security, or anything else! Don't write a review with negative comments when you know absolutely nothing about networking. I read one review that claimed that this switch would only pass 100 megabit traffic. That is absolutely false. Perhaps the reviewer had problems with other equipment on his network?

Pros: 16 ports. No fan. No external power brick, all in one unit. Hangs on wall. Includes rack mount brackets. Speed, tested a read/write speed from a QNAP, maxes out the NAS's port at 565.68 Mbps, at the same time other systems are copying data across the same switch.

Cons: No LED to indicate speed of port, 10/100/1000 etc.

Pros: Not moving parts so silent. Negotiates fastest speeds reliably. Compact yet still still rack mountable.

Cons: Not really a con as much as a user problem, but it has a button on the front for 802.3az functionality. I have found buttons to disqualify any product from being idiot-proof. Eliminate any buttons to keep this working as intended. Otherwise its the first thing that gets punched when a problem arises.

Overall Review: Some areas of my company tend to use left over hardware, some that is even from the late 90's. These guys if they drop a port won't replace a switch, they will daisy chain another switch to it. A troubleshooters nightmare. Being the guy they call when they can't figure it out what's happening, I won't even try to support their old Bay Network stuff still in production. I bought a small supply of these to hand out when they complain of problems. Once they replace their old stuff, then I will help them. These are NOT routers despite some of the reviews. Also, since there are no fans, you can't put these is as harsh of an environment before they overheat. You need A/C! Not saying that's the problem of the other reviewers, but just something to be aware of.

Pros: Got this on sale, upgraded my whole house to gigabit. Used every port.

Cons: Only cons are the indicator light show link and activity, but not speed. Also in a non well lit room, the led's bleed over to other ports making them look like they are linked.

Overall Review: For the price, including COS and Jumbo frames, couldn't pass this up.

Pros: I was able to quickly migrate 600GB of data from one server to the next, averaging around 80-90MBps (640-720mbps) during the transfer (Intel Nic connected with CAT 7 Shielded cable)

Cons: Wish it was managed.

Overall Review: Did a network diagnostic from my Intel Nic and it reported back that the switch was running the Spanning Tree Protocol (IEEE 802.1D). Might have been a side effect of the IEEE 802.3az....

Pros: I've been looking for a compact 16 port gigabit switch for a while. This one came on sale for $59.00 so I pulled the trigger. It comes with rubber feet, rack mount kit, and holes in the back for wall mounting. The unit doesn't have a fan so it runs silently. It takes a standard computer cable for power too... no wall pack. Performance is very acceptable. I just pulled a 1.5 GB ISO image from my home server running an Atom processor with a 500 GB Seagate 2.5in hybrid drive to my desktop at 900Mbps steady. All the other transfers I've done have been just as efficient. All in all, a plug and play switch. I replaced an aging Netgear 24 port 10/100 in about 2 minutes.

Cons: None.

Overall Review: Wished it was managed for some VLAN goodness. Could have heat issues in warm rooms.

Pros: Nice inexpensive switch. Took advantage of two for one deal. Always nice to have a backup around. Worked real well for running a cable to each of the rooms in my house and mounted nicely in a 6u cabinet with the patch panel.

Cons: No management interface.

Overall Review: Does a nice job for a unmanaged switch.
