Is this the best 5-port (or 4-port, depending on how you consider things) switch available? Probably not. Is this the cheapest switch available? Again, probably not. Is this the best switch available, for the lowest price possible? Probably so. In truth, the only reason I purchased a switch...any switch...was so that I could connect my TV, AV receiver, Blu-Ray player, & Logitech Harmony Home Hub to my network. My router (ASUS RT-AC68P, which I HIGHLY recommend) has four ports, and needing one for my printer, one for my network drive, and wanting to keep one available (in case of needing to physically connect a computer for troubleshooting), that only left one remaining port, albeit with four remaining devices to connect. This, obviously, requires the use of a switch, and, considering how much I'd been spending on other items, I couldn't afford to spend a lot of money on a "higher-end" switch, I opted to find the least expensive, but-still-higher-quality, switch I could find...and the Linksys SE1500 is that switch. While it doesn't offer Gigabit connections, I was certain I didn't need them, as the TV & Blu-Ray player, even in watching an HD movie, wouldn't require anything higher than 100Mbps (besides, paying for a 50Mbps service, and actually receiving 70-90Mbps, the 100Mbps ability of the switch already exceeds that which I'm receiving). In short, the Linksys SE1500 doesn't just meet my needs...it exceeds them. With a $19.99 price (regularly on sale for $9.99-14.00), it's just as good, if not better, than all but a few of the other 5-port switches, for less money (the great majority of the other models are in the $20-50 range).

Price of this unit compared to functionality is on point. This is just a basic switch which can be used to extend an Ethernet hard line to multiple devices. Works right out of the box and no issues with setup. The packaging and directions are very good in quality.
