    Purchased this model mostly based on size for a gig unit. I have this unit attached to the wall behind a bed. Small, out of the way, and the LEDs aren't overly bright in the dark!

    Just like the tried-n-true 100Mb switches, this Linksys 1Gb switch is a no brainer. PRO-TIP: always get a switch v. a hub. No configuration needed, plug-n-play.

    Well designed, small form factor, you just set it down or hang it on the included mount points, plug power in, and go. I mounted mine in my OpenHouse wall panel to join my upper and lower floor AP's to share a singe cable modem internet connection. It has solid, quality metal construction, and great performance. Couldn't be better for what it's designed to do!

    I needed to add some devices to my home network that required wired lan connections rather than Wi-Fi, and was able to do so easily using this switch. The switch was easy and trouble free to install, truly plug & play.

    Great simple easy. Exactly what I needed. Hope it last for a long time. Since we have no cable boxes the WiFi kept dropping from our tvs. We have three of them hardwired to keep the connection going as well as my hue bridge.
