    It does what it's supposed to do efficiently for the ports needed. The port is not active unless the device connected to the ethernet port is on which saves energy. Love how compact it is and awesome build. Amazing device. Give it a try I highly recommend.

    When i recently upgraded my router to 6E, i didnt realize that it was the okd router that slowed the Ethernet connections down to 100mbps. This switch allowed for no slow downs. I put this one over 100 ft from the router amd split to basement devices i was getting weak wifi at. Problem solved. Max speeds 550mbps achieved!

    Awesome product. I can't believe I didn't buy one sooner. I work from the office now and I like that you can plug and play so fast. I really do notice a difference in speed on all devices.

    This goes great with some of the latest wireless routers from those big names that may only have one Ethernet port out. It will give you the extra connections you need! Easy to use, simple setup.

    When the modem only has 4 ports and you have 7 wired devices, this is what resolves the issue. Nice and small so it takes up very little space and provides the expansion that I needed.

    This switch allowed me to run simply one long cable instead of having four separate ones. Also this freed up additional ports on the back of my router. Good QOS management and get steady speeds.

    There's not much I can add to some of the other reviews - this works very well and very easily. It's a no brainer to use and I have several items hooked up off of this and they are working perfectly!

    I recently moved into a different home that had previously wired for cable. Since some of the wiring was oud and not functioning properly, I had to resort to different method to get my cable signals up and running. I had a wireless cable router as the initial receiver of the signal so I purchased a 4 port switch and simply and effectively routed new ethernet cables to each location I need a signal. It solved my problem quickly and efficiently. The switch works perfectly. I am very happy with my selection from Best Buy.

    It is exactly what it is. A gigabit switch. It works, it’s reliable and compact. This works great with newer mesh routers like Eero that only offer one LAN port. Excellent product.

    This switch performs flawlessly in my network. I use it to split one of the two LAN ports on my cable modem/router. No setup was required. It just works to create multiple LAN connections. The price was the lowest on the shelf for this type of product.
