    In a pinch I bought a TP-Link version from another store and it just wouldn't work with both PC and Mac. Returned it and went where I should have in the first place, Best Buy. The new switch instantly connected with all devices, even the HP printer.

    Linksys makes a great Gigabit Ethernet switch. This is the second one that I have purchased and have both hooked up in my house. NO issues at all. I am very happy with it.

    Works just as intended. I have ran 3 different systems at the same time with no problems at all! This is a great solution for adding multiple ethernet connections in one room.

    I ran out of ethernet ports on my wireless router. This allowed me to plug in more things. It seemed to make the system even faster.

    I bought this on advice of my office IT guy - wasn't sure it would do what I wanted - YET AGAIN ... he was right. A little difficult to understand where the main line attaches (no instructions in box) but it was OK, I figured it ou.

    This switch is capable of gigabit speeds as well as it looks great. It has 5 ports which I found convenient as most switches in this category are 4 port switches. Good buy, 10/10 would buy again. Perhaps I'll pick up another one for the living room.

    Linksys switches have always been very reliable. I have had other hubs/switches fail from other manufacturers but not with Linksys.

    It has been working great right out of the box. Since it is just a basic switch with no advanced features, it doesn't really have anything to evaluate. It has not caused any performance or connectivity issues that I have noticed.

    I bought this to expand my network to my smart TV. I was using the Cinema thingy from Directv to do it wirelessly but it never seemed to work. I put this switch in and I now have network to my TV, DVD player and Apple TV. Just what I was wanting to do.

    At my son's college, they only had one ethernet port that worked in their dorm room, so only one device (laptop, ps4, etc) would work at a time. This allowed more than one device to use the port. He and his roommate are very happy!
