    Don't complain about slow internet if you are using slow interfaces. Be sure to use gigabit ethernet where you can. This is an excellent way to connect more devices.

    This seems to be working very well since installing it. Noticed that our internet was very slow so we purchased this and wow! Much better since we installed this! Good purchase, would buy it again, highly recommend.

    Needed more ports at my cable modem. Bought this device, plugged in the Ethernet cables, plugged this into the modem , applied power and was fully functional. What could be easier?

    My son's dorm room only had 1 internet connection so we purchased this so he and his roommate could use their video game consoles at the same time. So far it's working.

    Working from home created a need for more things to be connected and just not enough ports. This switch does what it is intended to do and have had zero issues so far.

    I needed a quick and easy Gigabit switch and this Linksys one does the job. Take it out the box, connect the Ethernet cables (use CAT 5e or CAT 6 to support the 1GB network), connect the power and away it goes.

    I thought I was gonna have issues with the setup of this unit but I was wrong. Setup was nothing more than plugging in what you wanted to expand and that was it!! Super easy and works great.
