You have to join (or already be a member of) their "MClub" email newsletter to get this deal. (Not a big deal - and this is coming from someone who hates marketing/newsletter emails)

$23.99 - $11.00 MClub instant discount = $12.99, with free ground shipping.

The few reviews on their site say it's not super fast (but still 3-5X 10/100 stitches). But come on, thirteen bucks? I'm in for one, just to have as a spare.

Thanks, grabbed one.

In 4 1. Beats the $22 Asus one I picked up a couple of month ago. Hope it has better performance as far as gigabit speeds go. Cheers!

In for a couple, thanks OP.

REVIEW

I would expect QoS to be extremely unlikely at this price.

 

[mryerse]

QoS for a switch? Does that even exist?

It's pretty common on managed switches, even the cheap ones.

Hmmm no free shipping when I put it in my cart.

Yea as far as managed goes you will find features like that, but most of these small cheap ones are unmanaged. This switch I would say would be good for a backup...

I wish I could find an inexpensive gigabit switch that doesn't have this stupid "green technology" that shuts off ports that aren't in-use and breaks Wake-on-LAN.
