Digital camera reviews of TRENDnet TE100-S5 5-Port Ethernet Switch (5 x 10/100Mbps Auto-MDIX RJ-45 Ports)
Digital camera Review: FANTASTIC! don't be fooled by the manual...
Summary: 5 Stars
Got this because I don't want to use wireless, and needed to get two laptops online at the same time.
On opening, I read the manual, in the "technical details" section it says "this product was not designed to let two computers get online at the same time". WRONG! They CAN and DO get online at the same time (at least for me). I just watched two separate videos from the internet on each laptop, at the same time!
The manual states it is describing two products: TE100-S5 and TE100-S8.
I have the TE100-S5 (that's what is printed on the box, above the company logo).
So, presumably, I have the cheaper of the two products, and it still connects 2 devices at the same time.
Great to finally own a product that does MORE than what it said it would.
Of course, this is just the first day, hopefully it will continue to run great for many months.
Connect input to socket 1, outputs to sockets 2 and 3, and you're done!
Highly recommended!
UPDATE: 1 year later, still works!
Digital camera Review: Fantastic little switch
Summary: 5 Stars
Its cheap, its plug and play, and while not a top of the line one it works very well for what I need. Could not be happier.Digital camera Review: Fast and Reliable
Summary: 5 Stars
This little light switch works like a champ.. I have 3 PCs connected to this box for almost a year now and no problem so far... easy to set up (plug and play) and the connection speed is fast. What a bargain! I would buy it again.Digital camera Review: Fast and easy
Summary: 5 Stars
The product is just as advertised. After failing to setup a wireless network for mine & my wife's computers, using a competitor's product, I opted for a wired system. The RJ45 made it very easy, just about plug and play. My wife's computer is now on RoadRunner just like mine. Great product!Digital camera Review: Flaking out after a short period of time
Summary: 2 Stars
I started out happy with the device. Added it to network an existing XBOX (running MythTV) and a new Sony BluRay to the same port in the living room. Everything worked great for a few months, and now I'm having trouble with both the XBOX talking to the server in the basement, and the BluRay watching Netflix. Take the switch out and connect one or the other and the problems seem to go away. Wouldn't think the cables suddenly went bad.
