    Works as it should

    The switch works and has been for a few months now. Only downfall, not that this is the switch, but my local Best Buy did not have a gig switch so I had to settle for this one in a pinch.

    Awesome, works simultaneously with PC, Xbox and Blu-ray. Slim, low profile design lets you place it anywhere with ease.

    Almost worthless

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I bought this switcher to connect a number of devices together and to get them to communicate to each other. This switcher failed on that level altogether. Hours on the phone to Linksys did not help either. My printer would not operate thru this device, my TiVo's could not connect to each other. All it did work for, was one way transfer of the Internet. After by-passing this switcher and using a Netgear switcher my troubles were resolved.

    Can only use 1 internet computer at a time

    I specifically told the salesperson I needed to connect two computers to the internet simultaneously. This box accomplishes nothing - I still have to reboot my internet modem every time I switch from my PC to my Mac. Useless!

    Did not work

    I thought for the money it would be to good to be true and sure enough it does not work. Not any of our devices recognized any new router and they even reduced price by 50% this week. Item is junk!
