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.

D-Link Ethernet Switches: Some of the best switches
The basic problem was Lan and internet distribution from 1 point to another point. So we need ethernet switches that are reliable in the industry environment. So we purchase D-link ethernet switches because they are reliable products and easy to configure. We use company-wide. Each department has its own switches according to department size. We provide and install 1 or more ethernet switch(es) in each department.
- D-link provides industry specific switches according to industries environment.
- D-link products are reliable, good and easy to configure.
- Provides a very good interface monitoring tool.
- Pre-relational with this D-Link
- Needs some fancy switches to our head office.
- Needs LED penal attached with switches.
- Needs more cooling fan in switches.
- All departments are linked together.
- Real time device monitoring.
- Controlling is very good in all devices.
First, we decided to go wirelessly company-wide but we needed to switch from one point to another. In our option, D-Link is best for us.

D-Link: low cost with more features
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.
- More functionalities in less price.
- 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.
- Cheap as compared to other brands, so great ROI
- More functionalities in less budget, so great ROI.
- Products frequently change and end support, so poor ROI.
STP enabled by default. Loop detection by default is enabled in CISCO. As we have faced a problem in load management, CISCO bears a large amount of load but D-Link doesn't.

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.
- It has low impact on budget.
- It has caused loops in the network.
- Sometimes the GUI hangs and switch becomes unavailable.
Cisco Catalyst Switches are top of the line when it comes to enterprise-grade network switches. They can handle large amounts of traffic with no impact on forwarding and they have all the features needed to manage and monitor in an enterprise environment. On the other hand, D-link Ethernet Switches lack some features and they do not perform well under heavy loads of traffic.
- Easy to use GUI.
- Plug and play in a small environment.
- Gigabit ethernet support.
- Loop detection
- Centralized management
- Changing management Vlan

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.
- My network requirements/objectives are fulfilled by D-Link Ethernet Switches.
- ROI impact is positive.
- Best for small- and large-scale networks as a very cost effective solution.
We were facing lot of issues in our organization's network due to multiple brands of ethernet switches. It has effected our manufacturing area massively. That's why we researched and deployed D-Link Ethernet Switches.
After deployment, we resolved all network related issues in our plant and offices. Now we manage all network issues via one window and network stability is very good.
