I am using this switch to share my server's wireless connection with my HDTV and any other computers I may be working on at the time. Even using Windows Internet Connection Sharing, which can be aggravating at times, I don't have any issues getting internet on my other devices. I have a crossover cable coming from my second NIC on the server into a port on the switch, and the other devices on straight patch cables and it works fine as expected. I have no complaints about this item, it works just as good as my other D-Link products. Taking in consideration of the price and reliablilty of this product I would definitely recommend this switch to others.
