    Gigabit switch needed

    Since my ISP increased my speed from 75 to 150 mbps, I needed to get a new switch. This one was perfect, it was unmanaged and simple plug and play. Getting speeds of 170mpbs down now. Small footprint too

    Plug & Play Easy

    Installed in my newly constructed home. Home came with a "structured wiring" package, that I expanded to run LAN connections throughout home, to plug all Smart TV's, Xbox's and Apple Airport Extremes to each floor to extend and give me the fastest network (vs. all wireless). This Switch has no external cooling needed, so Installed in the structured wiring box. I opted for this Switch vs. one installed with house because one that came with house was not Gigabit rated nor had enough ports. I'm no network specialist, but system appears to be runing well, fast, and stark improvement over previous home's wireless only system.

    Great little switch

    Excellent unmanaged switch. Does everything you'd want an unmanaged switch to do. Easily accepts RJ45 connectors. Has link light with activity indicator and connection speed indicator. Actually, every feature in an unmanaged switch you could possibly want. Probably does some fancy link layer protocol algorithms and such that's way over my head, but if you want to connect 16 office devices together with no hassle or fuss.... this is the switch for you.

    Fast easy to hook up

    This switch was easy to hook up plug and play and the switch can handle up to 1000 mb/ s . For home speeds up to 100 mb/sis more than enough speeds
