    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.

    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.

    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.

    Small footprint can sit on a desk or wall mount. Rubber feet and screws with drywall anchors included. No installation issues, plugged in the cat 5 cables, plugged in the power and up and running. Note that one of the 5 ports will be used by the input so maximum of 4 more switched devices can be plugged in.

    I purchased the switch to use in legacy machine equipment. I connected a i7 pc to the machine computer and now controlling the machine with my connected pc. It's been in the machine for 3 months and is going strong. Handles 108 degree cabinet temps with no problem. I purchased 3 more for other machines.

    Seems to be a quality product. A super simple way to add some ports to your home network. Setup goes like this: Cable company Router to my home wifi router to this Linksys switch... then simply plug my devices into the switch.
