Title: Not very durable.
Review: It's a switch, not a router. It does exactly what a switch is supposed to do. If you don't know what a switch does, you probably don't want this. The reason I bought this (and a D-Link DGS-1008G) was to replace another DES-1105 and DGS-1008G that both failed due to a power surge. Not too surprising since the surge also knocked out quite a few other devices. Unfortunately these BOTH failed about three weeks later during another storm, but this time nothing else was affected. (They were both plugged into UPS/surge protectors both times.) So yes they're cheap and almost disposable, but this time I think I'll spend a bit more for something a little more reliable.
