The DGS-105/DGS-108 Gigabit Switch provides a quick, easy and economical way to add high speed networking to home offices and small/medium businesses. With data transfer speeds of up to 2000 Mbps the DGS-105/DGS-108 is ideal for fast file transfers, and smooth media streaming. It provides five or eight Gigabit ports for easy expansion of your network and a quick way to upgrade your network to Gigabit connectivity.
Seems like a good deal for a 8 port metal switch given that it's cheaper than the 5 port version which is £17.99.
EDIT: For those that cant get the £15.02 price, use this link and it will be the top one. :smiley:

Since when is a modem also a switch? ;D I'm being pedantic, I know you mean the all-in-one modem-router-switch-AccessPoint units that pretty much every ISP provides. Probably fairer to say this gives 7 extra ports though rather than assuming things about a person's network.

Been using one of these for a few years now, never missed a beat. I'm replacing it with a free meraki one next week but I'll be keeping it as a stand by just in case.

You got the MS220-8P? Can't go wrong with it tbh, you'll love Meraki for its analytics and gui alone. I've got a full stack at home, not a single issue in 2 years and free hardware RMA anyway.
Does anyone know how this unit compares with these too frequently-on-offer alternatives?
TP-LINK TL-SG108 or the NETGEAR GS308
To the casual observer (me) it is uses half the energy of either of them, and has speed indicating indicators unlike the Netgear. What else makes this a better pick over the other two?
