D-Link 8-Port Gigabit Smart Managed Desktop Switch, Layer 2 Features, VLANs, Cable Diagnostics, Compact, Fanless, Energy Saving Features, Smart Web GUI (DGS-1100-08V2) Switch 8 Port Gigabit V2

For the money you can not go wrong with this managed switch, it even supports SNMP and bolts into Zabbix for monitoring. If I had any wish I'd love if it had a 2.5G or SFP port for uplink ... Power consumption is low 3-4W, it's nice and compact, and the power cable goes out the back. Setup is a little bizarre, the switch is not DHCP enabled (10.90.90.90) out of the box, but this was easily accommodated. And when you make changes and apply them in sub menus, be sure and click save configuration or every time you have a reboot or a power off of the switch you will loose your changes.

This is an outstanding product for its price. It performs well, it is dependable and it is durable.

If you read some other reviews of managed switches with VLAN support, you'll find the others usually have some kind of downside like being unable to disable every VLAN from receiving the default VLAN or something along those lines. But not this one. It's silent, it's made of metal so it feels amazing and solid, and it's got lights that make just enough light without blasting the whole room with mini-flashlights. I like it. Thanks, Dlink.

Upgraded my network to shielded cable, so the switch needed a Ground Bonding wire connection as seen in the picture below. I wish D-Link would have supplied a Grounded power supply with this Switch instead of the cheap 2 pronged type. Also, the Ground terminal would be much more secure if a chassis nut was used instead of just tapping a hole in the metal, I stripped the hole and had to open the unit to install a nut and washer on the inside to achieve a tight connection. Lastly, the default static IP address is a challenge to access and for security that's good, but can be a learning curve for many, I think the default should be DHCP. So far the Switch is performing very well and I give it 4/5 stars.
