We've had this for about 3 and a half years now and 5 of the ports have gone bad. Because of that, the switch itself is slow and intermittent. We'll be replacing it immediately, but not w/another D-Link product for sure.

Very happy with product. Easy to set up. Bought two and bought a RJ45 crossover adaptor for $3 off Ebay to link the two switches together (which worked perfectly). The only problem is that Amazon has its photos wrong. The product they ship has power input (110v ac) on REAR, and all port lights and RJ45 outputs on FRONT. Initially i was going to send the switches back as i wanted power and outputs on rear with just lights visible on front as this would have given a neater finish .... but decided just to deal with them as this is the newer designed version from D-link. Hopefully Amazon will update their old photos soon !!!

We had this switch for about a year. It worked well, but was not exceptional. This week, two of our workstations couldn't connect to the server. The problem turned out to be that several ports on the switch had gone bad. I've uplinked a spare hub to the DSS-16+ and things are working fine for now. I plan do some research and get a more reliable switch.
