TRENDnet TEG-S80G 10/100/1000Mbps GREENnet Switch

Comment:
Bought two of these for work at a fair price. Works right out of the box.

Comment:
Have a couple of these that have worked reliably for some time. Just plug'n'play. No setup required. Frequently on sale at a price that can't be beat.

Comment:
What can I say, 20$ for an 8 ports gigabit switch, it's a cheap as it can get! I remember paying 35$ a couple of years back for the same thing and it was a killer price then!

Great price, simple setup, works perfectly.

Comment:
great price (got it on sale) and works perfectly. Just needed to add a few extra devices to my router (required direct plugin) so this thing was perfect

Comment:
Price is excellent, has been working for me, i would recommend this.

Comment:
This is a decently priced gigabit switch that gets the job done, isn't really much more to say about it. It works and the computers seem to recognize that it is a gigabit switch.

Comment:
I have no problems up to date, the network seems to be transfering in a good rate and this switch provided me with enough ports to offload my wireless network.cant go wrong with $30

Comment:
If you need an umanaged gigabit switch go for it. I Got it on sale at 30$.

Comment:
Simple switch that's all there's to it. It works perfectly fine so far with no hick ups. It was $25 bucks around Christmas so I figured I'd get one, maybe I should have got two of them.

For the price, those are really some of the best switches you can get, the metal casing also makes them interesing for rough environments.The only downside I found is that the chipset used by Trendnet for the newer V3 (compared to the V1) does not respect IEEE 802.3 Part 3, especially for setups that only have 2 pairs of wire (orange/green) available on a 4 pair wire (it must work according to p137 of the PDF located at http://standards.ieee.org/getieee802/download/802.3-2008_section2.pdf).This setup does not work with those switches on distances longer than 30 feet.Though I admit this is a bit esoteric, other high-end switches (netgear, cisco) do work flawlessly.

Work very well and fast. Had it for 2 month now and work like a charm. Unbeatable price for what you get !

Comment:
I needed a switch to extend my wired network into my server room, 3 of the 5 machines were gigabit connections and I didn't want to bottleneck my speeds by using a crappy switch so I bought this, and I've never been more impressed by a switch of this size in my life..

Comment:
Does what I wanted in terms or expansion. The price was right at $25 on boxing day.

Chez nous j'Ai un routeur et moi je suis dans un garage a l’extérieur de la maison puis ma switch fait très bien la job j'ai 3 pc qui roule très bien! excellent PRODUIT!

Comment:
Excellent device. Cheap, fast, reliable. Has not presented any issues, and continues Trendnet's tradition of low price and middle-of-the-road performance.

Comment:
Great device, bought a second to expand network. Great value at $25 sale price

Comment:
I bought two of these switches for a home network setup, they worked right away with no issues. The yellow or green coloured lights indicating fast or gigabit ethernet connections is very handy. At the sale price this switch is a very good value.

A nice switch, with a hefty metal case. Previous revisions had a third row of status LEDs, but this 2.0R revision combines the functions into two rows, which slightly reduces the geek-factor in favour of lowering the power consumption. It includes some stick-on feet, which and while they're not quite as impressive as an older D-Link design which used double-sided feet to stack multiple units together tidily and securely, they will certainly do the job. The switch has screw-slots on the bottom that allow it to be wall-mounted in three orientations: facing up, down or to the left. This is somewhat odd as the only air vents are on the left and right sides of the case - so to allow the best convective cooling, the switch would have to be mounted with the indicators facing to the left and the patch cables plugging in on the right, slightly limiting where it can be placed. There are two screws on the bottom of the case which appear to allow access to the internals - perhaps to allow removing accumulated dust. Finally, the included power adapter is fairly narrow, and shouldn't block two sockets on most surge protectors unless you're plugging it in beside another wall-wart. There is an alternate model (TEG-S80DG) which has an internal PSU if that's more suitable for your needs. This review was modfied by poster @ 12-09-11 06:58 PM

For $25, take your PCs and connect them to this GB switch and transfers between them will change. That 100MB switch on your wireless router just isn't fast enough for internal transfers. For those who transfer movies or large files from one machine to another, get a GB switch!

Comment:
Great deal at $25 including free shipping. The switch is very heavy metal and feels very solid, unlike another switch I have which is lightweight flexible plastic. Uses at most 3.5 watts according to the manual. That is great for low power consumption, too.

I got this for $20 (ASTOUNDING price!) to fix up my network setup. I originally had 3 computers, so a router could handle that. Then as I got more I added a 100mbit 5-port switch and connected my least important computers to it. And then when I ran out of those ports, I got another... and another. It was starting to get quite bad, since I had to waste ports interconnecting them all. I also noticed performance when connecting through multiple switches, so I decided to upgrade them all when these came on sale.Now I've got an RT-N16 (4x Gigabit Ports + 1x Gigabit WAN) connected to two gigabit switches, depending on which part of the home they're servicing. Between the router and switches, roughly 12 ports are used. Everything is a lot faster now that the bottleneck is at gigabit speeds and I don't have three or four of them chained in a row.

This switch is so cheap to get and works really good. Never had any problems.

Comment:
Cheap, easy to use switch that works as advertised! Hard metal casing for a sturdy and durable feel. Super fast gigabit ethernet makes file transfers between PCs a breeze. Would definitely recommend especially at $30

Comment:
This is exactly what it says it is, nothing more. It is a "dumb" switch so there is nothing software to setup, you just add this to your router and get and extra 7 ports. I have this paired with a 10/100 router, and put all my computers with gigabit NIC's on the switch, and I can enjoy 100+MB/s file transfers between computers.I also received free shipping when this was on sale with a promotion.
