D-Link 8-Port PoE Switch (DES-1008P) Review

The DES-1008P extends D-Link's range of scalable PoE switches, which cater for VoIP and WLAN users, without the hassle of additional power adapters, cords or AC outlets. As well as being very simple to set-up, the DES-1008P provides a cost-effective entry-level solution for small businesses wishing to make the most of their network. You must remember that it's an entry-level product though, so there are no management tools that provide browser access to PoE settings. You should also consider Netgear's 8-Port Fast Ethernet Switch (FS108P), which is very similar in terms of cost but comes with a lifetime warranty and, in our opinion, better support.
