- Business Problems Solved
D-Link Ethernet Switches have proven to be valuable tools for various organizations and industries, addressing a range of connectivity challenges. From supporting and accessing areas not covered by main switch stacks to meeting both emergency and daily demands, these switches have shown their adaptability in diverse environments. Users and other end devices are directly connected to the switches, which are then uplinked to the distribution and core layer, ensuring reliable network performance.
One notable use case of D-Link Ethernet Switches is in K12 Texas Schools, where they are deployed on every campus and building, providing a consistent and stable network connection. Prior to implementing these switches, the organization faced frequent switch malfunctions and unknown connectivity problems, which caused significant disruptions. However, since adopting D-Link Ethernet Switches, the network conjunction issues have been resolved, allowing for seamless configuration of VLANs.
In addition to the education sector, D-Link Ethernet Switches have also found prominence in industry environments, thanks to their reliability and ease of configuration. Each department within organizations can have its own switches tailored to their specific needs, ensuring efficient company-wide network connectivity. These switches have become indispensable tools for companies looking for dependable network solutions that can handle their unique requirements.

(1-6 of 6)Companies can't remove reviews or game the system. Here's why
I use D-Link Ethernet Switches for support and access in places where my main switch stacks are not covered. The equipment I use belongs to the business line, is manageable, PoE and has a high workload capacity. They are efficient equipment that meet both emergency and daily demands. Adaptable to various environments.
- Access control via VLANs
- Relatively easy configurations
- Application of functional QoS
- Poor Graphical Interface
- Switching between PoE and direct power does not work well, causing several reboots on the device
- Slightly poor equipment housing quality

D-Link, no doubt is the best brand and the best switches that we ever used. We have it across all our organizations. Network conjunction and other related problems have been solved by it and have configured VLANs over it. But the product is so awesome, that I recommend most of them use it.
- Cheapest of all.
- Durable in all aspects.

- Reliability of network.
- Updates frequently
- End of life cycle and end of support cycle.
- As D-Link frequently changes its products and customer have to switch very often.

These switches are not for enterprises
We have been using D-link Ethernet Switches for a long time now and we have both flavors of them, managed and unmanageable with Power Over Ethernet and without Power Over Ethernet as well. They are mainly being used at the access layer of our organization and users and other end devices are directly connected to them, then they are uplinked to the distribution and core layer.
- Easy to use GUI
- Inexpensive
- Available in a different number of ports.
- Support for copper as well as fiber ports.
- Available in gigabit ethernet and above speeds as well.
- Hangs under heavy traffic load.
- Spanning-tree is disabled by default, which can cause loops.
- D-link loop detection feature is disabled by default as well.
- NTP is not available in smaller models.

D-link Ethernet Switches are an amazing solution
D-Link Ethernet Switches are being used by our organization (in-plant and countrywide remote locations), before D-Link Ethernet Switches, we were using multiple devices and it was difficult to manage a large network, especially in a manufacturing plant.
Issues faced before replacement:
Issues faced before replacement:
- Switches are installed/malfunctioning again and again.
- Multiple switches create unknown issues like users being connected but no data transferring.
- We are unable to implement VLANs in our environment due to mixed switches.
- It's a secure, manageable, smooth solution for small- and large-scale organizations.
- Port range of FA, 1G, and 10G in both fiber and copper.
- Energy saving, very low power devices, amazing on UPS backup (at remote locations).
- Excellent reliability--we used D link in open environment without an IP ratted rack and have no performance issues at all.
- VLAN's management could be easier if POS for management were available.
- Configuration in CMD mode like Cisco.
- There are issues when configurations are complex. A little network monitoring tool (GUI based) must be used.

K12 Dlink Network Solutions SAVES YOU MONEY
We use Full D-Link Ethernet Switches. From Switches, Access Points and Cameras. We are a K12 Texas School. We use Dlink Switches on every campus and building. We have been totally happy with the performance of the Switches and Network capability. We do not see ourselves anytime in the furniture changing from Dlink solutions.
- Pricing for sure. You get leading industry equipment but affordable prices.
- Warranty. Even tho it is affordable Dlink does not skimp on your warranty.
- Performance. Again even tho it is affordable you are getting a top performing network.
- Web interfaces. Really need to work on easier web interfacing for less "program savvy" users.
- Needs a WAY BETTER management solution. This is where you can take one piece of software and manage every switch.
- Maybe and this is stretching, an easier way to keep up with firmware and uploading them.
