    We bought this Linksys Ethernet switcher to help us set up our camera system. It effectively allowed us to hook everything together so that we have an effective video system

    A lot of people don't use wired networks anymore and neither do I. But I needed extra ports for a couple of NAS boxes that utilize wired connections. The LinkSys worked right out of the box with no issues whatsoever. Perfect!

    I had a network cable run to an xbox 360 in our family room. I added a 4k smart TV and an xbox one to the room so I needed to tie all three them to one network cable. The switch worked great, plug and play and is inexpensive.

    Basic little switch in a metal case that seems pretty tough. Need this to facilitate demos with customers and don't want to worry about it breaking. Worked great and expect it to continue to do so.

    I purchased this switch so that I could hardwire my smart TV and PS4 in the basement. You lose a port due to the incoming ethernet connection, so keep that in mind when hooking up your devices.
