On my mixed (100/gigabit) network, I notice no slowdown on my gigabit connections, even when both 100 and gigabit connections are active. Connected to it are: Synology DiskStation 209 (gigabit), Dell Precision Workstation (gb), An older Dell Dimension (10/100), An older Macbook (10/100), iMac (gb), Macbook Pro (gb), and a 5-port 10/100 switch, which in turn connects to a networked Blu-ray player, an Airport Express (with AirTunes connected to a sound system), and an Xbox 360. Time Machine backups run flawlessly and reasonably quickly (4-5 times as fast as on my n-class WiFi network). We frequently use AirTunes to stream music, and experience no gaps or dropouts- which were a major issue on the WiFi network, and we have no problems streaming video from the Synology server to our Xbox- even when my kids are both video-chatting at the same time. I don't expect enterprise-class gigabit service from this unmanaged switch, but at around 1/8 the price of a 10-port Cisco managed switch, this does the trick in our home, and works fine right out of the box, with no configuration required. Review: Happy with my purchase - I've used other gigabit switches in the past, and most have worked well, but typically run hot. I had a Linksys/Cisco that had a cooling fan, and even though it wasn't a loud fan, it made just enough noise to bug me. I replaced that with a Trendnet that had a metal housing and no fan, and that one served me well for several years. But again, it ran warm, so when I read about this D-Link DGS-2208 with its lower power consumption and energy saving features I decided to give it a try. I'm happy I did. This switch has excellent performance, and runs very cool and quiet. At the time I purchased it the 8-port was actually cheaper then the 5 port, so that was a sweet deal as well. I have a bunch of gigabit capable computers running various versions of Linux & Windows along with a PS3 all hooked up through this, and this in turn is connected to my D-Link router (which has 2 more older 10/100 computers on it), and everything communicates without a hitch. I couldn't be happier with my purchase. This switch has excellent performance, and doesn't dump a lot of extra heat into my computer room. In fact, it doesn't even get warm to the touch. ## Features - Add More Devices and Computers to the Network - No Software or Configuration Required - QoS Feature Helps Reduce Jitter and Lag - Non blocking architecture with 16 Gbps total switching capacity moves data at full wire speed for maximum throughput - Compact size makes it ideal for desktops with limited space ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000FITKK8 | | Best Sellers Rank | #658 in Computer Networking Switches | | Brand | D-Link | | Built-In Media | Power cable | | Case Material Type | Plastic | | Color | black | | Compatible Devices | Desktop | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 276 Reviews | | Data Transfer Rate | 1000 megabits_per_second | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00790069291159, 07900692911598 | | Included Components | Power cable | | Interface | RJ45 | | Item Weight | 1.3 pounds | | Manufacturer | D-Link Systems, Inc. | | Mfr Part Number | DGS-2208 | | Model Number | DGS-2208 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Ports | 8 | | Platform | Not Machine Specific | | Switch Type | Fixed, Unmanaged, Cut-through, Non-PoE, Layer 2 | | UPC | 790069291159 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Upper Temperature Rating | 40 Β°C | ## Product Details - **Brand:** D-Link - **Number of Ports:** 8 - **Included Components:** Power cable - **Color:** black - **Compatible Devices:** Desktop ## Images ![DGS-2208 8-Port 10/100/1000 Desktop Switch - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/31hjB0+RNNL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A fine unmanaged switch at a decent price *by D***N on December 15, 2010* This switch has been running full time in my home for 10 months with no issues.

In fact, it doesn't even get warm to the touch. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ All you have to do is plug it in. *by C***. on February 1, 2010* When I decided to purchase this product, I wasn't really considering the power saving features; I was simply searching for an 8-port gigabit switch that would work well with my network. All I had to do to get this switch (I keep almost typing 'router' but it's not) up and running was to plug it in and connect ethernet cables. It detected my network configuration and after rebooting computers that had been previously on 100mbit, everything was up and running at gigabit speed. Since then, I haven't touched it. I haven't had to. It just works. Some other comments have raised questions or issues with operating in a mixed network (some computers at fast ethernet and others at gigabit speed). I'm operating a mixed network and haven't had any issue whatsoever with this switch. It detects the maximum link speed available, configures the connection to that speed, and indicates the link speed with one of two different light colors. The only mediocre aspect of this switch is the light panel on the front. The various light colors are similar to one another and in close proximity, it's hard to tell which lights are which colors and which are even on without standing directly in line with the panel. Still, I haven't had to even look at it since the initial configuration, so it's a very small issue. Overall, I'm extremely satisfied with this switch. It's proven itself to be fast, reliable, and intuitive. ## Frequently Bought Together - D-Link DGS-2208 8-Port 10/100/1000 Desktop Switch - D-Link DGS-1024D, Ethernet Switch, 24 Port Gigabit Unmanaged Fanless Network Hub Desktop or Rack Mountable, Black - D-Link Ethernet Switch, 5 Port Gigabit Unmanaged Metal Desktop Plug and Play Compact (DGS-105),Black --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.cy/products/7324026-dgs-2208-8-port-10-100-1000-desktop-switch](https://www.desertcart.com.cy/products/7324026-dgs-2208-8-port-10-100-1000-desktop-switch) --- *Product available on Desertcart Cyprus* *Store origin: CY* *Last updated: 2026-09-16*
