    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.
