A: AnswerNo, this ethernet switch is plug-and-play and does not require any software to install.This question and answer was generated by AI based on customer and product data.- A: AnswerWhat a switch does is act like a splitter much like you might see with a cable tv setup. If say you had a wired connection from your router to your tv, the router would assign an IP address to the tv. If you added an xbox, you would need another ethernet cable and another port on your router. Add a dvd player and then you need yet another wire! Many homes may only have one physical ethernet port at the wall where the tv set is and so running another cable would be tricky (walls and all)! This is where the switch comes in. It will effectively split that single ethernet port into 4 available connections for multiple devices. Of course many devices are wireless these days so this type of device is only necessary where a hardwired connection is the only option you have OR you prefer the hardwired connection for its speed and reliability.
Answered by Dave
- A: AnswerYou just need this box (or any similar Ethernet switch) and an Ethernet cable. We only have one port on our modem. Our eero mesh router plugs into that, but the eero only has one port itself, and our Philips Hue hub (smart light system) was plugged in there. Now that I'm working from home every day, I wanted my laptop hard wired into the network. With this switch and an Ethernet cable I had lying around, I plugged the switch into the eero, and the Philips Hue and my laptop each plug into the switch. Note that this is just about "How do I plug in another Ethernet cord?" part of your question. This will not make your Wi-Fi do anything different, as that comes from your router itself, unless what you're planning to plug in is an eero or other mesh system to improve your Wi-Fi, like we did.

Plug everything in and forget about it
Easy as pie. Plug in your cables anywhere, plug the switch into an outlet, and you are on your way. I cannot understand any of the negative reviews. This product does exactly what one would expect it to do, and the price is very reasonable. You can use crossover cables, Cat 5, Cat 5e, Cat6, or mix and match, and it works it all out. My connection passes through another Netgear switch (with many more ports) before connecting to my router, and I have numerous devices connected to my internet. But see my speeds in the attached photo. No complaints about this switch at all.

One switch, four devices.
Works like a charm. All I needed was to connect this switch to the router, then I was able to connect for other devices (TV, PS4, Switch, sound bar, PC).
