TRENDnet TE100-S8 8-port Fast Ethernet Switch (TE100-S8)

I had been using a 5-port switch with several computers and needed to expand to using 6. The TREND product was inexpensive, shipped quickly by this company, and…

I had the 5-port version before (and it worked flawlessly for years) and bought this one because my network needed more. Unplugged the old one, plugged this one…

Used this switch to expand my network in my home. From day one it caused issues that would require restarting both the switch and my modem. Then after…

Pros: No problems. Works good. Will get same thing when I have a need for more.Cons: noneNo problems. Works good. Will get same thing when I have a need for more. none

Pros: I'm the IT Manager for my small company -- bought several of these for both workbench use and for patching equipment if needed. Some have gone into full-time production and they work great.Cons: noneI'm the IT Manager for my small company -- bought several of these for both workbench use and for patching equipment if needed. Some have gone into full-time production and they work great. none For the price you can't beat it. Switches are quite basic technology these days so it's safe to "run with the little guys" -- don't pay too much for a simple bit of technology.

Pros: good switch
take it out of the box, plug in a few lan cables, plug in the power.
That's it its up and running like a basic switch should beCons: can get overwhelmed with too much network trafficgood switch

Just like the CharlesTownKid said, plug it in and it works. Couldn't be simpler. And a helluva price, too.

Pros: Cheap. Plug it in and go.Cons: I lose connectivity once in a while, but it could be my wireless router as well. Seems to lose more connectivity than I used to.Cheap. Plug it in and go.

Pros: It was worked great for 1 year running a variety of computers & printers. Never any network issues.Cons: Blue color doesn't match my decor, but it sits behind my display and no one ever sees it anyway!It was worked great for 1 year running a variety of computers & printers.

Pros: It worksCons: Only 100Mbps and not 1000MbpsIt works Only 100Mbps and not 1000Mbps bought it b/c it was a shell shocker and a good deal

Pros: Cheap, works fine.Cons: None really, I guess the ports feel kind of flimsy when you're inserting the RJ-45 connector but I'm not really concerned about it.Cheap, works fine.

Pros: I own two of these units and they have been running since I first set them up without any problems. The auto-mdix works fine and the unit offers a good amount of bandwidth over the backbone for such a cheap piece of hardware.Cons: None so far.I own two of these units and they have been running since I first set them up without any problems.

Pros: Excellent switch for the price and if you have 8 or less computers, this is perfect for your network. I didn't think it was possible to get something this cheap in price. Took a total of 1 min to get install with a router. I would recommend this to anyone! Oh, and you also get a 5 year manufactors warranty with this!Cons: noneExcellent switch for the price and if you have 8 or less computers, this is perfect for your network.

Pros: It's cheap, and it works. What more do you need?Cons: I guess you could always have more ports.It's cheap, and it works. What more do you need? I guess you could always have more ports. I have this connected to another switch when we do LAN parties. It works like a champ. It's really hard to go wrong with the price.

Pros: Works great. I connected it to one port on my router
and was able to go online with two different computers at the same time... I didn't think it would do that.Cons: None so far.Works great. I connected it to one port on my router
and was able to go online with two different computers at the same time... I didn't think it would do that. None so far. I was able to get 5 online dsl connections from a 4-port router. It might even allow more...there are 5 more ports left on the switch.

Pros: Cheap, no problems, works exactly how it should.Cons: NoneCheap, no problems, works exactly how it should. None Ten dollars with free shipping for an 8 port switch was an absolute steal

Pros: Just plug it in and go. No configuration needed with my FIOS modem (unlike other companies I have tried).Cons: Doesn't seem durable and looks a bit childish but that's all aesthetics.Just plug it in and go. No configuration needed with my FIOS modem (unlike other companies I have tried). Doesn't seem durable and looks a bit childish but that's all aesthetics. Blinks a lot and looks like a UFO across the dark room.

Pros: Inexpensive and works perfectly.Cons: Looks and feels a bit cheap, but again it works perfect and it doesn't cost a lot.Inexpensive and works perfectly. Looks and feels a bit cheap, but again it works perfect and it doesn't cost a lot. Don't waste $30 or more on a hub. If you just need a hub, this is the way to go!

Pros: Works well and allows me to have a full 100 mb network. Replaced a 10 mb hubCons: NoneWorks well and allows me to have a full 100 mb network. Replaced a 10 mb hub None

This product is great! It is easy to configure, manage, and use. Price + rebate , plus it works without any troubles. i love it.

Pros: Fast connection on network, easy setup, runs cool, ligts arent blinding like some routers. Oh yah the price can't be matched for a 8 port.Cons: None.Fast connection on network, easy setup, runs cool, ligts arent blinding like some routers. Oh yah the price can't be matched for a 8 port.

Pros: Well built, Auto-MDIX ports (see below), 5 year manufacturer's warranty, fast and simple to install, blue color closely matches other network components if you already own products from that company which begins with the letter "L".Cons: Blue color might clash with other network components. Purely an aesthetical point.Well built, Auto-MDIX ports (see below), 5 year manufacturer's warranty, fast and simple to install, blue color closely matches other network components if you already own products from that company which begins with the letter "L". Blue color might clash with other network components. Purely an aesthetical point. You can't go wrong here. The unit is actually better than the listed specifications. Case in point. . . there's no mention in the listed specs that the ports are Auto-MDIX which means you can use either a straight through or crossover cables to make connections. The warranty, according to the manufacturer, is 5 years, not the 1 year listed in the specs. Coupled with the price, this simply cannot be beat. My highest recommendation! Five eggs ()()()()()

The 8 port sswitch worked well, yet cheap, I have 8 devices plugged into it with no problems whatsoever.

Pros: Easy to install, No guess work. Operates right out of the box. Quality of product compared to cost is outstanding.Cons: no negatives.Would like to have some method of securing it to a table top, such as a suction cup or other attachment. It is so light in weight that the attached cables move it around quite easily.
