D-Link 6-Port 10Gb & 2.5Gb Unmanaged Gaming Switch with 1 x 10G, 5 x 2.5G - Multi-Gig, Network, Fanless, Plug & Play, Colored Indicator (DMS-106XT)

It's a switch and it does its job. That isn't enough for a switch hitting this price point. This has a 10G port and 5x 2.5G ports. And, just as importantly, it comes with a switching capacity that can actually accommodate those numbers at full capacity. The front lightbar isn't configurable. It's white when turbo mode is off and rainbow colored when it's on. Speaking of Turbo Mode, what this does is turn on "Priority of Service." If you are running with this setting ON, then Ports #1 and #6 are set as Priority #2 while Port #2 is Priority #2 and the remaining ports are priority 3. Like a poor-mans managed switch. That is important for you when plugging in your cables if you intend to enable turbo mode: Make sure you have the right cables plugged into the right ports. Also, the top LED colors are speed indicators. If you plug into the 10G port and have a white indicator, don't freak out. It's white for 1G, blue for 2.5G and ... bright white for 10G. I spent like an hour testing the various components on my drop to find what was limiting my speed before I found out that "Bright White" indicates 10G. Couldn't they have chosen another color? I digress... For what you get, this is many - many - times better than your granddaddy's desktop switch. It's just icing on the cake that the ports are rear-facing and doesn't look like a metal brick sitting around.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Incredible Speed Boost – Fixed My Internet Issues! I purchased three RJ45 Cat8 cables to use with my 2.5G coaxial adapters, and the results have been game-changing! My internet speed skyrocketed—boosting performance by 80% compared to just using Cat8 cables alone. Before installing the Cat8 cables, I was unknowingly using a mislabeled Cat5e cable that I had mistakenly bought from Walmart in a Cat7 package. No wonder my internet was so slow, unstable, and kept randomly disconnecting every 4 hours! I originally thought my ISP was throttling my internet, but it turns out the wrong cable was the culprit all along. Now, with the correct Cat8 cables, my D-Link QoS 6-Port Multi-Gigabit Unmanaged Switch (with built-in turbo mode) delivers super-fast and stable internet. The 2.5G coaxial adapters further boost both speed and connection quality, making a huge difference in my setup. I’m using a Netgear Nighthawk M6 Pro (Unlocked, AT&T 4G LTE service), and while it’s not 5G, I’m extremely satisfied with the massive speed improvements. I also tested my D-Link DI-102 Internet/VoIP Accelerator Adapter, and together with the Multi-Gigabit switch's turbo mode, my network performs better than ever! Even though I couldn’t invest in the most powerful 5G router or modem/router combo, this setup has completely transformed my internet experience without breaking the bank. If you’re struggling with slow speeds or frequent disconnections, check your cables! I highly recommend these Cat8 cables and 2.5G coaxial adapters. They made a night-and-day difference in my internet speed. Super happy with this purchase!

This is not your typical plastic case, or thin sheet metal switch. This baby is thick formed metal. After 4 weeks of it doing its job, has not got hot even once. I have it maxed out on a 2gb fiber and am having zero issues. Couple of power outages in my area during this time and it always comes right back up with no issues. The RGB is button select on the device so no software to change it. You get 3 modes, off, white and color coded by your link speed. and it works great.

Nice looking. Works fine. Only complaint is the pretty housing has an odd shape making it hard to stack together with other equipment so a bit awkward in my setup as a result.

Five 2.5gig Ports + 10 gig port. Works flawlessly. Increased the speed of my network considerably.

so far we do not have any problem using this router. Set up.

Everything worked great. Bought it for my RV. I have a relative staying in it currently and just ran an Ethernet cable out to the switch. Was an easy way to get it out there. Anyway I noticed my internet kept going out and decided after making my own Ethernet cable connectors that maybe I was the issue. But alas, after hours wasted I realized the switch just won’t receive any data. I’m not an expert on the working of the internet but just running the Ethernet straight to a device works fine. Not sure if these are under warranty as I can’t find that information or the company contact information. So decided to write a review.

Great product really helped with my internet speeds. Also the separate plus for USA users are in the box don’t forget to open everything 😂

Es fácil de instalar y no necesita experiencia para manejar la instalación, los puertos 2,5Gb y 10Gb perfectos.

I have 2.5gbit network cards installed so wanted to make use of it. File transfers from my pc to my NAS which both connected to this device I am getting 270MB/s transfer speed and stable.

Switch vraiment performant, j’ai d’abord utilisé un mixte de câble cat5e et cat8, rapidement j’ai remplacé tous les câbles cat5e bas de gamme (fournis avec des devices divers et bien souvent partiellement écrasés) par des cat8 assez courts pour la plupart. Certains appareils bénéficient maintenant d’une bien meilleure bande passante même s’ils ne sont que Ethernet 1Gbit... J’en ai acheté deux pour distribuer à chaque bout de mon reseau filaire, je mets parfois le ”backbone” en mode 10Gbit (mode turbo pour ce produit D-Link) sans constater de changement de performance notable.

This is the best 2.5G switch which you can buy. I've been using it now for over six months and it has really taken my home network to the next level. Highly recommend.

Prodotto interessante e valido per "trasformare" la vostra LAN da 1 Gb a 2,5Gb. Il mio problema era di collegare il mio server collegato attraverso un cavo dorsale a un NAS e a un secondo pc. Ne ho acquistati 2, per arrivarmi ci hanno messo alcuni giorni, il prodotto e' molto robusto non scalda molto anche acceso h24, scocca in metallo, carina la barra led davanti che comunque con il tasto posteriore e' disattivabile incluse i led delle connessioni lan in modo che si puo tenere in una stanza da letto senza consumare energia inutile. Una delle porta e da 10Gb utilizzata in entrambi i lati per connettere i 2 switch su una "dorsale" collegato su cavo Cat6 ftp non ho avuto problemi, il led di connessione si e' acceso segnalando il 10Gb di portata. I 2 pc sulle 2 porte hanno la scheda di rete a 2,5Gb nativa. Anche qui ho utilizzato i cavi Cat6, ho avuto problemi con una presa al muro che dopo alcuni giorni di funzionamento ha "ceduto" e il pc mi e andato in Offline cosa che ho risolto cablando nuovamente la presa al muro e il problema si e' risolto. Concludendo: prodotto ottimo ma costoso, serve SOLO se avete schede di rete a 2,5Gb, i cavi devono essere di qualita e se fate frequenti copia e incolla di dimensioni di un certo livello, nell'uso normale (anche avendo FTTH a 1Gb) del PC non si vede nessuna differenza si nota invece se si usano frequenti COPIA E INCOLLA oppure backup su NAS via lan dell'intero pc allora ne vale la pena perche i Backup giornalieri su Nas esterni vengono effettuati nella meta del tempo. Importante: un difetto che invece gli ho trovato, in caso si sgancia l'alimentazione e si rimette se avevo disabilitato i LED con pulsante dietro si resetta anche questo comando e torna con le luci accese appena tornata alimentazione, sostituirei il pulsante con un interruttore per renderlo al massimo green
