    Pretty darn good! It is not the most attractive switch ever but it does a great job in my home theatre set up.

    What to do when you have more HDMI devices than your TV has inputs for. This very simple device came to the rescue. Easy to set up and very efficient. It allows up to 4 inputs and has one output. And it comes with a small remote to select which signal to pass to the TV. Genius!

    No issues from this switch so far. This is now my second purchase of one, and both have been great. Speeds are as advertised, but it seems like the more you plug into it, the harder time it has keeping up with speeds locally. For the price you can't really complain too much though.

    Works as expected. Only had one hard wired network outlet in my home office and needed to connect multiple desktop computers to the internet. The Switch also supports a printer and a NAS device with no issues. No issues at all. Good device.

    This is a high quality unmanaged switch that works right out of the box with no configuration or setup required. Just plug it in and you've added four ethernet ports to your network. Throughput tests show no degradation due to added overhead. Good, solid physical construction as well. Recommended with no reservations.

    Bought this to connect multiple high speed Ethernet devices to my router. So far so good, it does the job as it was intended. However, it is a little pricey for a switch.

    It works just fine. Though I wish the power cable was on the same side as the E cables. And I would like the indicator lights on the other side from the E cable connections. All this so the cables go out the back and the light are in front.

    Great way to hard wire several desktop computers and an older Lenovo Laptop located in different rooms of the house. My sons used this same Linksys Ethernet switch brand for their Halo video game parties. It's still a great brand.
