    There typically isn't much to say about an Ethernet switch--it either works or doesn't. Mine works, it was fairly priced and I prefer Linksys to other brands if given an option. In short, works great and does its job. The unit feels sturdy and has 5 ports. :)

    I love buying something that is plug and play. I needed a few more Ethernet ports for gaming, since my router only has 4 ports, and saw previous reviews on how easy this unit (Linksys 5 port switch) is to use. Just connect your cables to the switch, hook up power and your ready to go!

    This simple 5 port switch is a must have when a division of your internet connection is needed for several players in your game room. Very compact and light weight. Excellent product from Linksys. And not expensive!

    I got this to run Ethernet through the house. This is a plug and play switch. So didn't have to spend much time setting up the network. It's kept up with no hiccups. I'll probably get another one once I expand.

    I recently purchased the Linksys 5-Port Gigabit Ethernet Switch and I'm so impressed by its performance. It's incredibly easy to set up and the data transfer speeds are incredibly fast. I'm no networking expert but I found it super simple to get up and running with minimal effort. I'm also really impressed by the build quality of the device. It looks really professional, and it's built to last. I would highly recommend this product to anyone looking for an easy to use, reliable network switch.

    Cut the cable TV cord and went with streaming. Wanted to provide Ethernet net connections to several TV’s and a desktop to improve reliability. This switch has performed flawlessly and the speed is not diminished at all.

    Perfect for college dorm

    I'm in college and my dorm room only has one ethernet port. I was able to run the ethernet connection to this bad boy and then split the connection out to different devices. This allowed me to run ethernet to my PC and also set up my own personal wifi for my smart home accessories. I know I could've set up the wifi router and ran the ethernet from the router to my pc but I didn't for two reasons, My wifi router didn't have as many ethernet ports as I would like, and the speeds I get from connecting directly to the school's ethernet through this switch are significantly faster than what I was getting through the wifi router.
