    Installation was very easy and straight forward. My work colleague and I can now share our one Ethernet port and have had no deterioration of internet speed from the addition of the switch.

    I bought this 2 years ago and it still works just as well as the day I purchased it. I've never had to power cycle it and it's never given me any trouble.

    I have multiple routers in use in a split level home but they don't all process at the same speed. With the switch, I get the same speed now at each other and don't lose speed in series.
