The five 2.5 Gigabit ports can be used to connect to the router, computers, or workstations. The 2,500 Mbps bandwidth will offer a significant performance increase over the standard 1,000 Mbps when working with large files, such as in graphic design, rendering, or architecture, or in 8K gaming or streaming environments. Furthermore, the 2.5G ports are also ideal for deploying Wi-Fi 6 access points equipped with 2.5G ports, an interface necessary to maximize their potential and avoid creating a bottleneck with Gigabit connections.

Due to its unmanaged format, it requires no technical knowledge and is Plug&Play; the front LED lights indicate, according to their color, the speed at which the link has been established (Gigabit, 2.5G, 10G) in each port.

Although the DMS-106XT is an unmanaged switch, it features an advanced intelligent traffic prioritization mode, Turbo Mode, which can be activated via a switch. This mode enables Advanced Port-Based QoS to prioritize bandwidth for high-demand devices, while also enabling IGMP Snooping to improve the performance of IPTV applications. This mode also activates the multi-color LEDs on the front display for a "gaming" look.

Within D-Link's portfolio, we also find the accessory to give any computer a 2.5 Gigabit LAN connection, the USB-C to 2.5G Ethernet LAN adapter (DUB-E250), a useful gadget and also Plug&Play to complete a 2.5 Gigabit network environment on both the switch and the client device.

The D-Link DMS-106XT Multigigabit switch is now available in large stores and specialist shops at a recommended retail price of €219.
