Has anyone else had such bad experiences with switches? I have had 3 different devices fail. First, a 5-port Dlink DSS-5+ (10/100) seemed to lose one of it's ports (a year-or-two ago).
Then another 5-port 10/100, this one a Hawking, actually fried itself. A couple weeks later, a Dlink DSS-8+ started losing it's memory (I think). It works for a while upon power up, but then fails to connect (eg, a ping) in from one port out to another. I'm even wondering whether the second burn-up may have put overvoltages on the line and damaged the other -- can that happen? Am I'm buying too low on the cheap scale?
