Review on 🔌 D-Link DGS-1024D Ethernet Switch - 24 Port Gigabit Unmanaged Fanless Network Hub, Desktop or Rack Mountable, Black by Nathan Kumar

This switch was purchased to replace a failed D-Link DES-1026G 10/100 24-port switch to replace. The D-Link DES-1026G was purchased about 7 years ago and was working fine until a month ago the fan failed causing the unit to overheat and connection issues. A new DGS-1024D costs about 2/3 the size of a DES-1026G. This makes it suitable for both "desktop" use (if you don't mind running 24 Ethernet cables behind your desk) and rack mounting (with included brackets). Front panel on DGS-1024D I have white color. In the product image it's the same color as the case, which is a classic for older D-Link devices, so I'm guessing that white is the latest version of the switch. The network it was installed on is a simple peer-to-peer network. Peer-to-peer network with 1 server, 7 computers, 7 printers and 1 router. I've noticed a significant decrease in dropped packets since this was installed and of course some of our higher throughput data intensive applications in the pipeline run a little faster when downloading data from the server. For the money it's not a bad buy.
