“Two words come to mind when reviewing this product. The
first word is
Solid
. The build quality is superb; the switch
has a professional, serious look. The product is something
you’d be proud showing off in your next LAN party and the
diagnostic lights only add to the functionality of this unit.
“The other word is
Quality
. Working with the Asanté
reminds me how a company should work. The product works
as you expect it to work with the right drivers in place; a
manual that tells you exactly what to do; it doesn’t have
driver glitches or hardware failures, it simply does the job.
“Having the Auto Uplink feature on each port is also a plus,
considering you can hook up even larger networks together.
“Performance is much up to par with most Gigabit switches
out there, with a slight advantage over the competition. The
strongpoint of this product is the delivery perfection; I did
not notice any problems, drawbacks, driver issues, it simply
works out of the box with no complications. This is an
important factor when it comes to networking.”
