    This Linksys switch box was quick and easy to set up. Does exactly what it is supposed to do with adding additional Ethernet connections for additional printers. Price was great & I would certainly tell everyone that they can't go wrong.

    I bought this to share the wired internet connection with my pc and bluray player (the router is in another room but I have made a hardwire connection the attic). Now both are able to be on my network at the same time without changing the cable

    Needed to connect my computer to a device and an upgrade to our system at school knocked out my district ethernet connection. Bought to connect driver and computer. Opened box and was ready to use. Has multiple outlets and is a small device.

    needed a solution to add a network printer next to a PC, but ony had one ethernet port available at the site. Just plug and play - it allowed me to add the printer without stringing a 50 foot network cable thru the ceiling and down a wall.

    It has worked well with all of my gaming devices. I have the PS2 (use it as a DVD player for the kids), a PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, Wii and a WiiU and I use it to switch between systems so I don't use up all of my inputs. Works great!

    Looked for something similar at another store only to find it was horrible and unnecessarily complicated. Went to Best Buy and found this, eventually (not as well organized in computer section as it should be). It's powered and automatic, so I didn't have to do any messing around with my router or network to make it work. Just plug it in, plug in the feed from router and connect the devices to the other side. That's it. Currently running Xbox 360 and Yamaha network receiver through this without any discernible lag. Highly recommended.

    I had to buy my mother an RCA Blu-ray player due to her not having an HDTV. I found out while running the Ethernet cable that she only had one port out on her router. Easy to hook up and use. Occasionally she has to unplug the unit to reset it because either her PC internet or the blu-ray doesn't have a connection.

    Like a wormhole through space and time, it allows one to experience the entirety of the Internet at the touch of a finger (as long as you have internet, lol!). Works great for small offices and minor networking.

    first time purchasing one of these products, so i was somewhat skeptical by just asking. I went online to read reviews and felt more comfortable purchasing. Works great, even better than the one I replaced.

    Needed something to turn my 1 ethernet line into multiple and this thing is perfect. 1 ethernet line from the router into a port on the back of the switch and then the other 4 are free to use for your devices.

    A very inexpensive way to hook up all my wired entertainment equipment and it's small enough to hide anywhere. And I like the fact you can turn off the lights so their not blinking and bothering you.

    I replaced a broken Netgear router with this unit. Works great and it cost a lot less than the Netgear unit I had to replace. No setup, just plug in the cat-5 cables and plug in the power supply...

    Good, solid, cheap network switch. Would be nice if Best Buy carried the Gigabit version, but this works well enough by itself to support my home-automation hubs while I keep higher-performance hardware connected to the Gigabit router. Super easy to install -- plug and play.
