Title: works okay at first glance
Review: Picked up one of these and set it on a card table to play a 12 year old game (Age of Empires II) with some friends from college. The switch was disconnected from the modem.Ping times were between 0 and 1 ms, which was excellent. Everything went smoothly for about 2 hours. After that point, the link lights on individual ports just died suddenly. New cables, new laptops (one literally out of the box yesterday morning), everything pointed to the switch.This switch simply cannot handle moderate-to-heavy packet flow. After repeated crashing, the switch worked after power cycling for 30 seconds. All indications are that this product is okay for very light use. The three of us needed it to do one job and one job only. Bottom line is that it failed to perform.
