Did not receive rebate, November 2, 2008

You know the multitude of requirements which make actually getting the rebate shouted about in the large print so improbable. Watch out.
Comptability issue, October 26, 2008

James Hart (Broken Arrow, OK)
If you wish to use this to like, say, a game console like the Wii, do not buy this item. I spent lots of time troubleshooting to get this to work with my wii but to no avail.
Good small switch, October 24, 2008

Ry GuyProduct works just fine (I've had it about a month). Not sure how much power savings the green features give, but it should help a little. It was no effort to setup and has been running solid since. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it.
Works great, October 15, 2008

No problems. The device barely heats up. Uplink works fine. The activity LED could be better, but that's not a big deal. Haven't tested GigE yet.
Great Product!!, October 7, 2008

This product exceeded my expectations. It is very similar performance wise to SMC SMCGS5 that I bought 6 month ago. The only differences I could find is that DGS-2205 costs less, runs cooler, looks better, and AC adapter covers just one outlet (instead of three) on my power strip.
Both support 9K jumbo frames no problem, and work together without a hitch. On my setup, Iperf is showing 870 Mbps through cross-over, about 850 Mbps through either switch, and about 830 Mbps through both on 4 flows. This is faster than any of my hard drives, so I'm completely satisfied.
