I had a couple of dlink gigabit desktop switches. Two failed so far, one has taken down the whole network, not just devices directly connected to it, and the other one fried 2 router ports when it died. I learned my lessons about buying crappy network hardware.
Edit: that happened within a few months, so these switches also have a very clear EOL.
Welp never buying anything D-Link ever again

Because they won’t support routers that were EOL a decade ago?
Companies should be forced to release all source code for products that are “EOL”. I will never change my mind on this.
Especially for stuff like medical implants
Most reached EOL in may of this year.
EOL is still EOL
Then they can open source the code so someone else can fix the issue.
Because that bug was so egregious, it demonstrates a rare level of incompetence.
