TRENDnet 5-Port Gigabit GREENnet Switch (TEG-S50G)

It was good until 1 small power glitch. Sadly it died.

For the price you can not go wrong with this switch. It works great and has a metal casing which will protect the switch.

Running Gigabit Ethernet in the house now. I had wired the house professionally years ago with cat5 cable (short runs) and running at gig now.

Pros: Easy Setup (plug and play)
Really fast and really cheap.
Love the metal case, helps keep it cool and gives it weight.Cons: None so far.Easy Setup (plug and play)

Pros: Solid construction.Cons: Doesn't communicate well between ports. Requires restarts and doesn't always work.Solid construction. Doesn't communicate well between ports. Requires restarts and doesn't always work. I think I could have worked it out but really need a broadband router. My bad.

What more can I say? For the price seems to be THE replacement for an AT&T supplied Netgear switch that had started to fail intermittently.

Pros: Received quickly, and works without any problemsCons: NoneReceived quickly, and works without any problems None Not sure what to really say, its an unmanaged switch that works.

This is the second TrendNet gigabit switch I have bought and I am completely happy with both no issues what so ever.

Works great, file transfers in home network are fastest

Just plug it in and it works ! No configuration necessary : add a WD 2 Tb NetBook drive and connect your plasma or LCD TV on your network and you have yourself…

We have a lot of customers who are built off of a basic workgroup network. Foe these types of customers, this switch (for the money) is probably the best to…

Good Gigabit switch for the price. I wish it was a little faster at connecting.

This is a no frills plug and play gigabit switch that you will not be disappointed in. Wish I had purchased two at the special pricing!

- Low price
- Metal case
- Low power use
- Stays cool - Only 5 ports Compared to a typical switch, this one uses much less power: unused ports are powered down, and the voltage of the live ports is automatically adjusted based on the length of the cable.

Works great. Have not had any issues. Plugged it right in and was off and running.

Pros: Easy plug n play installation, supports jumbo frames, low power. Uses a wall transformer, but even that is small and fits easily in a full power strip.Cons: Has fewer ports and smaller packet buffer than the equivalent netgear switch, although the netgear switch is somewhat more expensive.Easy plug n play installation, supports jumbo frames, low power. Uses a wall transformer, but even that is small and fits easily in a full power strip. Has fewer ports and smaller packet buffer than the equivalent netgear switch, although the netgear switch is somewhat more expensive. My only problem has nothing to do with this switch. Make sure you have good quality network adapters connected to this switch if you want to use jumbo frames. My built-in marvell yukon can't seem to handle jumbo frames and chokes on transfers, so while you're here, pick up a couple of decent network cards!

This item has worked perfectly for my home use. I have it in a room with a gaming computer, satellite streaming video device, and Netflix device. I wanted to upgrade this room to gigabit and the energy efficient model is nice too so inactive ports are not powered. It has worked perfectly since I installed it. It replaced an older 10/100 switch by the same company that also worked well for many years.

Note: Does not route an internet connection, however, when connected to a router upstream, internet is available on all ports, as the router is doing that work. This is a common misconception for many people.

Pros: When you only have one INTERNET cable coming out of the wall to run 4 INTERNET devises, this solves that problem and it does kept up with the data traffic flow, I have it for my Plasma TV, Blue Ray OPPO, Wii, and X-Box.Cons: Haven't found one yet.When you only have one INTERNET cable coming out of the wall to run 4 INTERNET devises, this solves that problem and it does kept up with the data traffic flow, I have it for my Plasma TV, Blue Ray OPPO, Wii, and X-Box.

More energy-efficient than some of the competition. Power-brick does not say it is for Trendnet. The switch itself does not list its power requirements. This is a comparitive review of a D-Link DGS-2205 and TRENDnet TEG-S50G. The Trendnet came with a paper quick-start guide, Dlink came with a CD (which I have not checked out). Both are wall-mountable, but only the Dlink came with mounting kit. Both claim to be green, but my Kill-a-Watt says the Trendnet uses slightly less power (and the box says more about HOW it tries to be green).
Both work; haven't done any performance tests.
Points to Dlink for listing the power specs on both the unit and the power brick, and for putting their name on the brick. Trendnet did NOT put the power specs on the unit, and the brick does not have the Trendnet name, so good luck if you ever let them get separated and mixed with other components.
Overall they seem about equal, depending on your priorities. Both are "4" with me until Trendnet fixes the power bricks and Dlink reduces power consumption.

Pros:: Easy to set up,, Fast Cons: None Tied into an 8 port Gigabit TRENDnet switch. Easy to set up, instructions were clear. Great B&H pricing.

Running apps over the network on an X server will bring it to it's knees in a matter of hours for some reason. For most people it will be just fine. I ended up replacing it with a 8 port ProCurve which I have had zero issues with and gave it to a friend who has not had any problems with it. Basically I would recommend this only to people who don't have much traffic all the time.

-Only 5 ports Haven't measured it's power consumption on it's own but with a Ruckus wireless router the power consumption is about 22 watts AC on my Kill-A-Watt. I'm willing to bet most of that is the Ruckus. Construction quality seems pretty good, like I said it's metal and manages to not get pulled off by cables but doesn't feel excessively heavy in my hands.

Pros: Easy to setup. Gigabit.Cons: Not compatible with my hardware.Easy to setup. Gigabit. Not compatible with my hardware. I have a Trendnet Wireless router TEW-633GR and a Gigabyte MB EP45-UD3P. Drops connection incessantly! Removing the switch solves the problem. I replaced the switch with a Netgear and the problem is fixed. I do not know the cause of this problem but I bought 5 of them and I have had them too long to return them as this is one of those problems that I did not identify right away. I kept thinking it was my cable company since a reboot of the router and modem would fix the problem. I suspect the problem is with the compatibility between my Trendnet router and the switch as i experienced the same problem when hooking a second one up elswhere in the house. Sad that these devices are incompatible and sold by the same manufacturer.

-Comes with rubber feet that you can put on if you're not going to hang it on the wall
-Barely warm even when browsing rich web sites with 3 computers attached for hours.
-Transmits farther than my dang router can. This guy supports full 1Gbps speed on 100ft cable, but my stupid linksys garbage router dumps it down to 100mbps when I plug it directly into the router. Stupid wireless router.Cons: I know it sounds kind of whiny, but if I glance at the led readout real quick, it looks like the 1000MBps lights are on if the 100MBps ones are lit. You have to look at it dead-on to discern the difference. Perhaps I'll take some foam and create cells for each light so they won't do that crud.

-Amazing case design for the price, same steel as $500 large network switches
-Looks really easy to take the cover off, only 2 easy to reach screws.
-Paint job is better than my $120 computer case's coat.

It's a switch... the price is right and it's gigabit. No problems so far. Highly recomend.

Pros: Just plug it in and it works.
Share a gigabit connection among printers, game systems, and computers.
'Green' design uses only as much power as is required.Cons: None thus far.Just plug it in and it works.
Share a gigabit connection among printers, game systems, and computers.
'Green' design uses only as much power as is required. None thus far. My son's college has one wired gigabit Ethernet connection per student in campus housing. Students may not attach wireless routers. This TrendNet switch is a cost-effective solution allowing one wired connection to handle a network printer or two, a game system, and multiple computers. It can also be unplugged from the campus network to provide a quick private LAN in a lounge when sharing files on a group project. The green design powers down unused ports, and adjusts signal strength to the length of the cable attached.

Pros: Plug and play, full metal construction, attractive, energy efficient, stays lukewarm never hot, vents are on the sides [mitigates dust infiltration], can mount to wall if needed, does not default to lowest Ethernet interfaceCons: nonePlug and play, full metal construction, attractive, energy efficient, stays lukewarm never hot, vents are on the sides [mitigates dust infiltration], can mount to wall if needed, does not default to lowest Ethernet interface none I wired 100ft of Ethernet cable to my room and needed a wired connection to both my PC and PS3. This does the job.

Pros: Does what it says: gigabit with all my end points; jumbo frames. Attractive.Cons: NoneDoes what it says: gigabit with all my end points; jumbo frames. Attractive. None I had bought a switch from nother company which makes gear for the net and it was trash. It was nice that setup the way I'd expected with the TRENDnet switch.

Pros: Cheap.Cons: Died after two months. I think it could not handle the power draw required for three 75ft cables.Also, the performance was terrible. I didn't notice until I installed two high-quality switches in my network, and latencies on my LAN reduced in half compared to just this one switch!!! VPN to work is now much snappier, as is VNC to my Linux box.Cheap. Died after two months. I think it could not handle the power draw required for three 75ft cables.Also, the performance was terrible. I didn't notice until I installed two high-quality switches in my network, and latencies on my LAN reduced in half compared to just this one switch!!! VPN to work is now much snappier, as is VNC to my Linux box. I really wanted a smart switch anyway. In my opinion, even for $20, this is just not worth it if you want reliable network equipment.

Pros: It works, easy, right out of the box. Good performance.Cons: Low on features but this is really an economy solution.It works, easy, right out of the box. Good performance. Low on features but this is really an economy solution.

Pros: This is a nice inexpensive switch that does the job well for a home network. Have my HTPC and DirecTV DVR hooked up to it with an uplink to a FiOS router. Works like a charm.Cons: None.This is a nice inexpensive switch that does the job well for a home network. Have my HTPC and DirecTV DVR hooked up to it with an uplink to a FiOS router.

Pros: As soon as I connected my switch and powered it up it auto detected my gigabit devices and 10/100 fine......I ran many bittorrent downloads and definitely noticed an increase in speed.....my overnight data backups over the network run faster than ever....I LOVE THIS SWITCH, I would definitely recommend it.P.S. it supports jumbo frames too
and to reply to the other use who said that this was not a Layer2 switch because you could only have one active port to the internet.......that user is wrong.....this is a layer2 switch and I have 5 pc's all on the inet at the same time........he needs to check his network.Cons: NONEAs soon as I connected my switch and powered it up it auto detected my gigabit devices and 10/100 fine......I ran many bittorrent downloads and definitely noticed an increase in speed.....my overnight data backups over the network run faster than ever....I LOVE THIS SWITCH, I would definitely recommend it.P.S. it supports jumbo frames too

Pros: Much heavier than my routers. Seems to be well made. Plugged it in, hooked it up and had a network in about 10 minutes. Has been working great for several months.Cons: None.Much heavier than my routers. Seems to be well made. Plugged it in, hooked it up and had a network in about 10 minutes. Has been working great for several months. None. I was running a router for my downstairs PC's and another Router off that one for my upstairs PC's. Had a lot of problems with router settings. I wasn't sure if a switch was going to be any better, so I didn't want to spend a lot of money on it. This Switch is now running off the main router and has solved most of the issues. Now one router takes care of the entire house. Also, my son borrowed it the other day to have an XBOX LAN party with his buddies. Apparently you can just plug in the consoles and they are networked. It works great.

Pros: Good switch for GigabitCons: You can only have one acttive connection to the internet thought this was a layer 2 switch it is not.Good switch for Gigabit You can only have one acttive connection to the internet thought this was a layer 2 switch it is not.

It s a switch, so either it works or it doesn t. This one works. Great metal chassis. I have two, and will probably be ordering more in the future.

Works great. Don t have to be a techy to use it, just pug in the network cables and plug in the power supply. Wish it was a little smaller in size so I can fit in my laptop carrying bag and take it with me when visiting customer sites. Over all A+

Pros: Plain basic Gigabit Ethernet switch. Nice price after rebate.Cons: nonePlain basic Gigabit Ethernet switch. Nice price after rebate. none Lights up my PS3 with 1000full
