    I am a fairly picky user of network equipment, but I don't typically benchmark, troubleshoot, or configure anything unless it explicitly gives me trouble. This switch arrived is a nice box, I hooked it up in about 3 minutes, replacing an old TP-Link switch that had died, and I was in business. I'm getting way faster speeds and lower ping times on all my devices than I was with the old switch. I haven't had to look at, think about, or touch this switch since those initial three minutes. Who can ask for anything more in a piece of networking equipment?

    I needed a switch to handle a pc and home security camera system connections to the network. This Linksys switch was the perfect choice for cost and performance. Installation was very easy and it has been working flawlessly!

    This a great no-frills data switch that features everything you would want from a data switch: easy to setup, inexpensive and gets the job done. I have always been partial to the Linksys brand.

    Very easy to set up and small footprint. I have a few other switches like this in my house already and needed to "light" a new room. Highly recommended to extend wired ethernet to another room.

    Great little switch. I get full speed thru-put and it was a simple plug and play switch. Unlike some of the others there is nothing to do to get it to work.

    We added the Linksys switch to our network to allow us to extend our network between buildings. It has performed excellently and was easy to setup and begin to use.

    I always purchased another switch brand but I needed this one to be in plain sight. The ports and power are on the back which was what I was searching for. The switch has been rock solid and was plug in play as expected.

    This thing has been a lifesaver. It works great and I have zero complaints. It’s smaller and more compact than I thought it would be and very easy to setup.

    Bought this to avoid the need to run an extra ethernet cable to my home entertainment center. Fits neatly behind the TV base, making it barely visible due to it's small size. Easy setup and works fine.

    Super reliable, easy plug & play setup, very affordable. This is a perfect choice for small / home office (SOHO), everyday users (i.e. home media, students, gamers, etc.). Anywhere that doesn't require managed switching.

    Bought this to add ports upstairs in our loft after running Ethernet cable up there. It adds 4 extra ports as one is connected to the AC2600 Linksys Router downstairs. Have been running a connected laptop and TV off of this switch without issues. The cable run from router to switch is around 15 feet and the computer / TV are another 15 feet.

    I use this Switch to provide Ethernet dircet connection to my PS4, Xbox one, and Media Laptop I have hooked up to my Smart TV. I stream 4khd (I also play online games) and Netflix recommends 25 megabits per second so wifi doesn't cut it. This unit gives me speeds of about 45 megabits per second when connected to my Comcast Modem. It is a very small unit and easy to hide. Like I said it does what I need it to do.
