Questions about the DES-1016A
Where is the best place to buy the D-Link DES-1016A in Nairobi, Kenya?›
Several retailers in Nairobi stock the DES-1016A, including Avechi Kenya (online, currently ~KSh 2,999), Digital Store Nairobi, iKen Computers, Fgee Technology, and CTC Solutions. For authenticity and warranty assurance, you can also order through the authorized D-Link distributor at d-link.co.ke or contact Starmount Solutions at +254 714 362 738 in Nairobi CBD.
Is the DES-1016A suitable for a school computer lab or office in Kenya?›
Yes. It is a popular choice for Kenyan schools, cyber cafes, and small offices needing to connect up to 16 computers at Fast Ethernet (100 Mbps) speeds. It is plug-and-play with no configuration needed, has a fanless silent design for classroom environments, and has very low power consumption (under 3W) — keeping electricity costs low on Kenya Power billing.
What is the difference between the DES-1016A and DGS-1016D, and which should I buy in Kenya?›
The DES-1016A is a Fast Ethernet switch (max 100 Mbps per port), making it ideal for internet sharing and basic file transfers where Gigabit speed is unnecessary. The DGS-1016D upgrades every port to 1000 Mbps (Gigabit) and costs more (approx. KSh 7,500–9,000 in Kenya). If your internet connection is below 100 Mbps — common with many Kenyan ISP plans — the DES-1016A offers the best value. Both are available through d-link.co.ke and Kenyan D-Link resellers.
