And I have 20+ switches of these at work, which _all_ share the same
problem: Ethernet negotiation problem, and links fall to 10Mbps HD out of
the blue. A happy employee in my company is an employee who has a switch
from the time we started paying a bit more, and got D-Link's... gradually
I'm replacing them all...

Also, I have a WiFi Router/4 port/DSL modem at home (in the closet..), which
got dead after less than a month and now acts as a dumb switch (OS doesn't
seem to manage to load). Seems heat issues are the cause. At first I wanted
to use my warranty, but then I read on the net that this model is just like
that - it's not my specific unit that it is bad. I passed and bought a
D-Link here, too. Rock solid ever since.
