Just works never have to touch it! . I upgraded from an 8 port Gigabit Trendnet switch to this bad boy with 16 ports. I've got 15/16 used up and it's never let me down. I can easily get transfer speeds between my two gigabit desktops of around 90-110 MB/s (using 7200RPM and SSD Hard Drives).
All I had to do was plug in my ethernet cables, turn the power on and haven't touched it since. Reliable and fast connection for all the devices on my home network.
No fan inside, it doesn't run hot even in a wall box and it's completely silent.
LED's on the front will tell you if a device is connected and if it's Green it's connected at Gigabit and Amber if it's 10/100.
Very satisfied with the purchase and would recommend to anyone looking to venture to the Gigabit realm. FYI you will need Gigabit ethernet cards on the computers that you want to connect to the network to get Gigabit speeds (125MB/s vs 12.5MB/s on 10/100) so don't expect your 3-4 year old Desktop to connect at gigabit speeds. But don't fret, gigabit NIC's are pretty cheap, I got this low profile (for slim computers) Dynex - Gigabit PCI Desktop Adapter DX-PCIGB used for about $6 on Amazon (3rd party seller), but you can just search "Gigabit ethernet card" and find them new for around $10-$15 new with full size bracket. Make sure it says Gigabit or 10/100/1000 in the title though as Gigabit is for some reason a key word on some 10/100 cards.
If you're wondering what you'll gain from going gigabit, here's a brief overview of bits and Bytes and 10/100 vs 10/100/1000 (gigabit):
MB = Mega Bytes, Mb = Mega Bits. 8 bits in 1 Byte
You have a 100 MB file. If you transfer at 100 Mb/s it will download in 12.5 seconds.
If you have a 100 MB file and you transfer it at 100 MB/s, it will transfer in 1 second.
If your Internet provider says you can download at speeds up to 8 Mb/s. That means you can download 1 MB in 1 second.
If your Internet provider says you can download at speeds up to 16 Mb/s. That means you can download 2 MB in 1 second.
Transfer speed on a 10/100 router would be up to 12.5 MB/s.
Transfer speed on a 10/100/1000 (gigabit) router would be up to 125 MB/s.
Say you have a DVD rip that is 2.5GB, on a hard wire connection between 2 gigabit computers it would take roughly 20 seconds to transfer. On a 10/100 connection it would take about 3 minutes and 20 seconds.
Say you have a 1080p MKV video file that is 32GB, on a hard wire connection between 2 gigabit computers it would take roughly 4 minutes and 16 seconds to transfer. On a 10/100 connection it would take about 42 minutes and 40 seconds.
Note: These are theoretical speeds and much depends on your processing speed and also your hard drive speed.

TRENDnet 16-Port Gigabit GREENnet Switch with 32 Gbps Switching Capacity TEG-S16Dg (Black) Reviews
Great value for money. Works exactly as expected. . Looks solid, works fine, see no reason to pay up for other brands.
Bought this to upgrade from an old 3Com 16-port 100Mbps switch. Installed this TrendNet 1.0G switch in its place and it works exactly as it should. "Installation" was nothing -- just connecting the cables.
Only have this for 2 days. Thus far no issues. My old switch worked flawlessly for 10 years. Would like to get the same out of this one, but have no way of knowing.

Impressive Upgrade That Just Works . This unit fixed years of unresolved issues that drove me crazy. Best birthday gift I ever bought for my wife to give to me.
I have a demanding family home network that involves a combination of wired and wireless networked devices. I am running a Windows Server, a Network Attached Storage (NAS), 3 Multimedia (Movie)Streaming PCs, 3 Desktop PCs, 1 Laptop, 4 Netbooks, 2 DirecTV DVRs, 2 Gaming Consoles, 2 network attached Blu-ray Players, a VOIP (Internet) Telephone System, and 5 DROID X Cell Phones using Wi-Fi.
All my equipment was fairly new. I had what appeared to be a simple and clean setup with a cable modem going to a simple 4 port wireless combo router. Attached to the router was a VOIP router and then two 5-port 10/100 speed switches that carried Ethernet to 3 other rooms. In each room is another 5-port 10/100 speed switch which connects to a combination of Multimedia PCs, DirecTV DVRs, Blu-ray Players and Gaming consoles.
My High-speed Internet is the best offered in my location at 50 Mb/second. But none of this matters if your infrastructure is lacking. All I know is I had complaints from the kids and wife about how slow things always were. I constantly found myself restarting the cable modem and router which seemed to be a temporary fix. For years I constantly fiddle with connectivity issues, lost IPs, and choppy performance. My family finally gave up completely on trying to view the 2ND DirecTV DVR from the other room because it continually froze up.
Enough was enough. Knowing that the cable modem and router were both fairly new, I started to suspect the 10/100 switches. All appeared OK, and function checked ok, but out of frustration, I still replaced them all. The two main switches were replaced with the TRENDnet 16-Port Gigabit Switch and the three remaining 5-port 10/100 switches were each replaced with the TRENDnet 5-Port Unmanaged Gigabit Switch (model TEG-S50g).
Instantly all my issues were resolved for good. We can now flawlessly watch any DVR from another room. File transfers between PCs and the Internet are blazingly fast, and I'm finally seeing the 50 Mb/second Internet I've been paying for. Speed tests went from 20s and 30s to well over 60 Mb/second. I am one happy camper and highly recommend these devices.

Excellent . I've used many switches over the years. Most of them are simple to use, and this one is no exception. Plug it in, connect cables and it's up and running. The biggest advantage of this one over others I've used is that even with a steady load of 8 computers, 2 printers, wi-fi and a router connected, there is no heat build up. It stays cool no matter what load I put on it. Some of my other switches have been too hot to touch. My guess is that even with a full load of 16 devices it would stay just as cool. Nice design, good display of activity and device speed. Well worth the price.
Plug and play... plug it in and it works idiot (me) proof! . As other reviewers have noticed, this switch runs cool and you just plug it in and it works. I like the different colored lights which let you know if each ethernet plug is running in high speed (green) or lower speed (yellow) mode. I spent the money to upgrade our network to gigabit capacity with this and with an ASUS gigabit wireless router between the switch and the cable modem, only to find that most of my computers are not gigabit capable without upgrading their network adapters. Sigh. But down the road I'm sure I'll be glad I did this.
The one thing that is strange about this unit is the power cord and the power switch are on the front of the unit, while the ethernet jacks and cables and lights go in the back. And actually as I type this I'm still not sure which is the front or back. I'm sure this is designed for some professional "rack" of some sort, but for a home user, it seems like the lights and on/off should be on one side and the cables (power and ethernet) should be on the back. I'm sure another reviewer will be able to explain this but right now I've just got it on a shelf sideways since I can't figure out which is the front! ha ha.
Overall, an excellent switch at a good price.

TrendNet 16-port GB switch - perfect so far . Looking to add a few more ports, and upgrade all of them to 1000 Mbps on my home network - heavy internet usage, primarily web, mmorpg and streaming media traffic. Decided to go with the TRENDNet S16Dg over the compitor devices because of the overall switching capacity (32 Gbps), which is at the top end for this range of device.The contents of the box are exactly what you need - nothing else; switch, cord and book (could even lose the book). Since the S16Dg has a built in power supply, there's no clunky power brick to accommodate, so fitting it into my 46" Leviton structured wiring cabinet was a breeze. There's holes available for rack-mounting, but they do NOT include ears or screws in the box - this is a small, but important omission - would be nice if they gave them to you, but at this price, who's complaining...Put the switch in place and turned it on - no problems since. All ports powered up and work fine (no dead ports!) - not one glitch since!
Excellent product Great value for money & Works exactly as expected . The switch is extremely quiet, runs very cool, and installed in less than five minutes. Plug and play... Plugged it in and it works, that quick & easy. It's idiot "me" proof. Performance is excellent.Highly recommend this product, well WORTH IT!
Excellent value and performance! . This switch is extremely quiet, runs very cool, and installed in less than five minutes. Performance is excellent as well.Even though it doesn't come with any mounting brackets, because it's so thin, I was able to install it vertically against the wall next to the breaker panel in my basement, on top of a 2x4.I would highly recommend it!
Great quality for a lot less money . This unit is a lot less expensive that the rest of the major brands, and it's been working flawlessly since we bought it. Great item.
