    Simple and easy, and the best part is that it works perfectly with Time Warner's new Internet Speed. I'm currently getting over 200mb down and over 20mb up.

    Great 1Gbps 5 port switch. All ports auto detect, and it's about the size of your hand. Activity lights up front, ports in the rear. Could be cheaper though.

    I needed to add some devices to my home network that required wired lan connections rather than Wi-Fi, and was able to do so easily using this switch. The switch was easy and trouble free to install, truly plug & play.

    Easy to hook up, and works right from the start. If you need more ethernet ports to make life easier with your devices, this should be the one. You might need another ethernet cable, one more higher end, than the one provided, and the light on the device is bright, so make sure it isnt by your bed!

    Great simple easy. Exactly what I needed. Hope it last for a long time. Since we have no cable boxes the WiFi kept dropping from our tvs. We have three of them hardwired to keep the connection going as well as my hue bridge.

    This is a simple switch, but has a little better build quality than the more plasticky inexpensive options from competitors. Compares favorably to the old metal cased Netgear devices, but cheaper. I have been an IT consultant for three decades and find that these work well for a quick fix of adding a printer to a place where there are not enough Ethernet outlets. Just remember, if you connect multiple devices to this switch, they are going to be sharing the bandwidth vs, each having full bandwidth if each has it's own connection to the main switch.
