At home and in the office, the number of devices "on the wire" is growing rapidly: computer, NAS, TV, console, set-top box, Wi-Fi point, DVR, IP camera. If your router is running out of LAN ports or you want to improve the stability of wired connections, a good switch is the easiest way to expand your network without rebuilding your installation. Such a switch distributes traffic between devices, providing fast connections and predictable operation where Wi-Fi can be capricious. The Lanberg DSM1-1005 switch (and its twin model DSM1-1008) is the next iteration of Lanberg 's compact desktop switches - designed with real, evolving user needs in mind: simplicity (Plug & Play), stability, work culture and durability. In a nutshell: you plug in the power and cables, and the device just works - no configuration required 5x 1000Mb/s GE ports Metal housing External power supply
