The device was easy to set-up. It is small enough to fit on my desk without taking up too much room. This ethernet switch has worked as expected.

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.

We had a small switch die in our office and needed an inexpensive but capable replacement for one of our programmers. This switch met all of our requirements and is working great for its intended purpose.

I replaced an aging 10/100 unmanaged switch. The new one is noticeably faster for internal LAN communication and those pesky network drops are gone. There is no setup as this is an unmanaged device.

Great price for a solid product. Nothing special about this particular switch aside from the fact that it’s smooth looking and performs well. I’ll buy another one when and if I need to.

Picked this because it was the most affordable unit in its specs at the store. Works flawlessly as a a switch. Dont use this for high bandwidth but we do use it for our robotics systems (to connect server to all peripherals for testing). Does its job. Its been connected in for about 2 straight weeks no issues no hiccups.

I wanted to hardwire two computers and several other components. A salesman recommended this switchbox. It performs as advertised. It also doesn’t have a negative effect on speed.

This is a great switch for the price. I needed more ports for my wifi router and with five ports this was the right fit, easy to set up, fair price.

Works as advertised, but remember that if your existing modem is full and get a 5 port switch, you’ll only be able to add 3 new devices because the line in will consume one and the device you disconnected from your router will consume another port. So you get 2 less than whatever number of ports exist on the switch you buy. But it does exactly what it is supposed to do, does it well, and needs zero setup, other than plugging it in and plugging the Ethernet cables in

I simply needed to add ports to my son's wired room, so he could share his wired connection with his computer, playstation, and xbox. This did the trick perfectly. Great price and very reliable.
