Great home switch with VLAN support!

(5 out of 5) by M. Zietlow on Oct 31, 2008 (SD USA)
These things are bullet proof and blow the Cisco LinkSys gear out of the water. If you need the ability for two separate networks to talk to each other (VLANS), This is the switch for you. If all you need is a simple GigE switch, check out the ProCurve 1400-8 G switch.

The ProCurves are build smarter and do not overheat. I've burnt through several Linksys Cisco and Dlink switches. These guys serriosuly need to advertise better. I would have saved 100's if I just purchased a ProCurve to begin with.

By far the best switch I have owned!

(5 out of 5) by Zulfiqar Ali Naushad on Aug 15, 2009 (Saudi Arabia)
Awesome throughput and very stable. Once I upgraded the firmware it hasn't stalled or crashed on me once (not that it ever should).

If you are serious about home networking, skip the cheap stuff and get this. You will not regret it!

understand trunking is not "trunking"

(5 out of 5) by J. ELLISON on Oct 28, 2009 (usa)
This is a great switch. I wish, so bad I had found this before I wasted money on my netgear switches. This is so feature rich, I don't know exactly how to configure it yet. I did figure out this trunking is not the cisco type of trunking. If you want the cisco type, it is called "tagged" in the vlan config. This trunking is more like link aggregation. This is a nice feature to have! On a final note, this model has been discontinued. The new HP hotness is the 1810G-8.

My only complaint. This switch does not support STP, or spanning tree protocol. They have updated the firmware the pass the traffic to prevent a packet storm.
