D-Link Made It Easy
We have DirecWay for our internet & they recommended not using our existing D-Link router/print server we used with cable internet previously (it had worked flawlessly in our old house but we had cat-5 cabling installed when we built our new house so the router wasn't necessary anymore), so we bought the D-Link DGS-1008D Switch. Nothing could have been easier to install...just plug it in to the outlet, connect it to the DirecWay modem, plug the various connections from our cat-5 cabling into th...

Switch resets, drops connection when printer cycles
I suffered from the same problem with this switch that others here have reported. I returned it to D-Link for a replacement, because they had NO RECORD of any customers having such a problem and NO IDEA what could cause it. When the replacement device arrived, I experienced the same problem--whenever I sent something to my network printer, the switch would reset, dropping all connections. I believe I've isolated this as a power spike issue. Each time I experienced this problem, it's because my l...

Drops connections DO NOT BUY
I purchased two of these to be used in a clustered environment which means I can't have loss of connectivity. Both switches, after a few weeks, started to reset themselves. I replaced cables and still had the same problem. I RMA'd both and the replacements are the same. DO NOT BUY THEM you will be sorry if you do.

Craptasticly Awful
This is not a good switch. I have this switch in a production environment and it died without warning a year after installation. I returned the product to D-Link and got a replacement but the replacement died two months later. Instead of returning it again, I will be getting a different brand switch. I will now be careful to avoid D-Link products.

drops connection
Bought one for the office on December 05. It does not work. Well, it does, but it goes on and off , dropping the conecction very offen. Users are complaining about the extra time it takes them to finish their job on the network. So I will have to buy another brand , as suggested by our IT advisor. I lost my money on this one.

Thought I would get a good one
Had this switch since early March. Resets about once or twice a day. Not good with VPN connections. The case is very hot and I feel that is contributing to the problem. Called support, got India of course. When it does work, it is quite fast. Using with a mix of broadcom and dlink gigE NICs. Will request an RMA and see if replacement unit is better. This is likely the last straw with Dlink products. Two prior routers had issues and support is terrible.

Drops Connection
I bought 2 of these and while they worked as I expected a switch should work for the first couple of months I started noticing that my machines were displaying network connection / reconnection messages all the time. I assumed it was the network card which I then replaced but after getting the same connect/reconnect message all the time I bought a Netgear gigabit switch and now have no problems at all. This was the first time I bought D-Link so it's hard to say there is a pattern here but the sw...

Cheezy unit - do not buy!
Switch periodically resets and drops connections. RMA'd first unit, and new unit does the same thing. No way to determine why it resets - extremely frustrating. D-Link Tech-support is no help and claims no knowledge of this apparently common problem --- no wonder they discontinued this product.

Beware: Drops All Connection (Faulty AC/DC Power Unit)
DGS-1008D, P/N:BGS1008DA.C3, H/W Ver.:C3. This gigabit switch repeatedly drops all connection. This happened to two of the D-Link DGS-1008D switches that we've purchased, so may indicate a manufacturing problem. Resolved problem by replacing AC/DC power supply units with non-Linksys brand.
