    My previous experience told me that Linksys builds good, dependable equipment. This Ethernet switch was no different. It does exactly what it is supposed to do and it does it well.

    I got it on sale. My router/modem only had one physical port so I bought this for expansion of my wired network and it works like a charm.

    It's a great product to add to your home network. It says 5 ports, Tho 1 of those ports is a network in port and the other 4 ports are out to your other devices.

    Works very well so far. Just plug the power pack in and then the Cat5 feed from router. Then you can plug in the downstream equipment. Use it on an apple network and happy with it so far!
