I was a little skeptical about buying this switch since I could find no reviews for this model at all. I did find many reviews for other Trendnet models but I found a good deal on this model and it met my requirements. I upgraded to this switch from an older 24 port 10/100 switch I had bought on ebay for $25. Plugging my old switch into an energy monitor it registerd an annual cost to run as $71.00. I opened the box on the TrensNet switch and just plugged it in. Silence! the old switch had a noisy cooling fan this had no noise at all.

I replaced an aging 10/100 24-port model, and as expected, this switch screams in comparison, for all my internal network transfers (especially for streaming from my server), and provides great throughput to my wireless access point as well. For internet connectivity, I am limited only by my ISP speed limits,...Read more
