Hey Guys, this is $31 on Amazon RIGHT NOW. No joke (I'm not being paid by anyone or any company to say this, I just bought it on Amazon for CHEAP, just search "trendnet 80g" in the search and it's the first product to show up.)

[TehMG]

Thumbs up for metal casing!

I hate how a lot of consumer networking products these days are in ugly rounded plastic enclosures.

@Xyllianos & @mus1c1sus

Ahh thanks! :D

[airsoftisawsome]

you like the look its a rectangular box

[GODZILLAMANASS]

I REFUSE to spend more just to "Be Green" or "Save The Environment" Fuck the environment.

[EphraimJWitchwood]

@GODZILLAMANASS From what I can tell (with a quick look at Newegg), these cost about the same as a non-green switch.

Do you have a helmet cam or does cameraman just hover over your shoulder?

[Tore299]

@nathan42100 The camera hovers over his shoulder, duh. ;)

I got a similar one, TEG-S800Dg, difference is it has built in powersupply with grounding and shielding. I tried to measure its power usage as well my old switches. My old ones used 7w and another 12w (even older switch). The power usage for TrendNET Was too low for it to measure and showed 0w :p

[yogman10]

What exactly is a switch??

[X3N4T3]

How does it know if the cable is 2 or 20 meters?

Maybe looking at the ping, but if the onboard card sucks it might think your cable is 20 when it is 2?

[mus1c1sus]

@X3N4T3 I read somewhere that the switch sends a report to the pc (100% power) the pc then recieves the report (e.g. 75% power) the pc then tells the switch that the delta power (100%-75%) is 25% and the switch then powers the cable at just over 25%.

[FloridaCarClubcom]

you're a good reviewer

[GoogleSearch07]

Are there any routers that have this "green" technology?

[nemesisN3]

@GoogleSearch07 yea, go here for list over trendnet's "green" products trendnet.com/company/green/gre­ennet.asp

[bmxhector]

i bought a trednet and it was pure shit,i am never goin to buy trend net

[Biopony720]

he's watching flippy cat videos !!!!!

[MrDucktaper]

What is a network switch? xD

[ThrashMetalForces]

It seems that every router-switch you unbox has a blue unfavored predecessor. 

[THESUPERSKULLY]

hahahah the song he sings when going over the specs on the box

[bloodseedrums]

isnt this only a 7port switch because one of those needs to be uplink?

[olmatenightfox]

Just wondering do i have to upgrade all my CAT5 cables to Cat6. Because some of them are quite long(20-30meters). Would i get 1gbps speed using cat5 cables?

[panther98291]

you should do a video about the differences between hubs, switches, and routers. saying what each does and what each is best used for. i would def watch and appreciate it!

thanks linus :) and even if you don't i'll still watch all your vids, i've learned alot from you bud haha

[ryancouture]

@panther98291 yeah i dont know either it looks exactly the same

[ASUSproz]

@panther98291

i agree with panther!

[ridgey12345]

@panther98291 do one vid on the difference between them i get confused with them some times D:

[nformby]

@panther98291 - I'd also appreciate it actually. Would be useful.

[spezticle]

@panther98291 you don't need a whole video for that. essentially, a hub is layer 2, a switch is layer 2 with a mac table, and a router is layer 3. understanding the layers of the OSI model is what the video you should be asking about :)

[exequiel900]

LiNus! I'm a student in British Columbia Institute Of Technology. Taking CST course! Does im eligible to apply for Jr. Production Tester / Assembler at NCIX?

[felixcruzazul]

@exequiel900 you have to take a grammar class first

[drbejarjj]

I want one!

[wsbygt]

Too bad Gigabit switchers are so much expensive than 10/100 switchers.

[spikeaxiom]
