    Great product but if the sales person at best buy would have listened to our request of having 4 to 5 ports on the back of the router the sales person recomended we would have save the extra expense and have extra wires that makes the set up mesy.

    I bought this to increase my rate of data transfer from my desktop to my NAS (WD My Cloud). Through the wireless (Google onHub) my data transfer is about 20 MB/s. When wired though the ethernet switch it is 100 MB/s. When moving large amounts of data around, it really speeds things up.

    I am sure that the is great when it can be used. I was told by the salesman that I needed this to hook up my external wi-fi hubs. I returned it. I would recommend it to those who need additional connections.

    Works great. I have a new house and ran the Ethernet cables through the walls to some rooms. I have flight sim 2020 and this definitely helps with that. It’s in my basement and ran the cables up to the third floor.

    This was installed at our church in our sound booth in order to have wired internet connection to our many A/V devices. Since install, our internet connections have been better (since it's wired) and have not had any problems.

    After running out of pirts to connect other electronics i needed something small. This item was the perfect item to moint under my tv stand discretely and it gave me 4 extra ports. One port is used for power and internet connectivity for the item to work. So you get 4 ports not 5

    Great Ethernet Switch for my Studio

    This is the third Linksys Ethernet switch I've bought for our house. One for the Home Entertainment system which feeds the TV, Satellite receiver, Blu-Ray Player and Apple TV. One for my son's room where it handles his computer and Game Systems. Now a third one for my work studio which my laptop, desktop computer and flatscreen TV. If your house is hard wired for Ethernet then this is just the thing to expand that one line coming into your room into many.

    Netgear has been building new devices with metal cases and building them to last. Not much to say about a gigabit switch except it works well. Networking is easy with quality components. I'll pay a little more to get it today and from a brand that builds things to last.
