much quicker nas than my ds223 have the option to have a warm spare quiet

Good design, good ratings, good warranty and guarantee. The little clamps to organize your wires are nice.


This switch can be used as is if all you need is to add some more ports to your network, and is also feature rich with many different control options. If you are really into tweaking out connected devices and need to have more control over devices that are connected to your network then this is the switch to purchase! Power cord plugs into the back of the unit, and all connections are made in the front. Also has an easy access reset button in the front to the right that is clearly labeled in the event that you have to reset the device due to a lost password, or to just start setup over from scratch. LED’s on each jack will give you connection status with just a glance along with a data flow indicator LED. DHCP is not enabled by default, and most people usually have this type of setup on their networks. Also the default IP address is setup for 192.168.0.1, so depending on your network setup, you will need to run the configuration utility right away to change the settings. The utility had no problem detecting the switch even though its address was different than what my home network is setup for. Once DHCP was enabled through the configuration utility the device was recognized with no problem on my network. Included instructions on how to connect to the device for setup the first time worked exactly as described. Device allows full control of all port settings. Such as speed and duplex, flow control, and lag. Also supports IGMP Snooping and Port Trunking. The Monitoring feature will give individual port statistics such as Status of connected ports; transmit/receive of good/bad packets. Also supports Port Mirroring and Loop Prevention. Each port can also be individually configured with optional MTU VLAN control settings, along with QoS, Bandwidth control and Storm control. Another nice feature is the Cable Test option which will allow you to test your cables and give you the length of each cable in meters. Built solid, all metal enclosure, wall mountable, also includes pads for bottom of unit if you prefer to have it sitting on your desk. Initial setup is easy by simply plugging a network cable directly from your router to the switch and you then have 7 more available ports for hard wired devices!

All 8 ports are POE Have increased speed from older Gigabit units.


Best combination of features for my needs (office copier/fax). Has >3000 joule rating, 150V clamping, RJ-11 and RJ-45 protection. At $41 shipped, it sure beats the $150 Sharp-branded surge protector our copier supplier tried to sell us together with the copier!






Can handle demanding load Easy setup Good customer support Easy tracking of power usage

The MS305 (pay attention to the model number when purchasing) is a fine addition to a home network, especially with moving moderately large amounts of data between devices (pictures, streaming, archives) internally or via the Internet.

Small and works great for the modem and router and other small power use.

It was the exact battery for my unit. Slid it in, plugged the battery in, closed the case, plugged the UPS into the wall. That was it.
