    Great 1Gbps 5 port switch. All ports auto detect, and it's about the size of your hand. Activity lights up front, ports in the rear. Could be cheaper though.

    I purchased this to extend my ports on my Apple extreme. I plugged it in and it works like a charm. Went from 4 ports to 9 in under 20 bucks!

    Easy to hook up, and works right from the start. If you need more ethernet ports to make life easier with your devices, this should be the one. You might need another ethernet cable, one more higher end, than the one provided, and the light on the device is bright, so make sure it isnt by your bed!

    This device is great for a room that has so many devices in need of ethernet. I secured this switch to the bottom of my desktop and run the ethernet cables from there. The speeds are as advertised and I see no drop as compared to the feed straight from the fiber modem.

    This is a simple switch, but has a little better build quality than the more plasticky inexpensive options from competitors. Compares favorably to the old metal cased Netgear devices, but cheaper. I have been an IT consultant for three decades and find that these work well for a quick fix of adding a printer to a place where there are not enough Ethernet outlets. Just remember, if you connect multiple devices to this switch, they are going to be sharing the bandwidth vs, each having full bandwidth if each has it's own connection to the main switch.

    It is a Plug - N - Play installation. Plug in your network cables and plug it into power and your done. It has worked without a flaw since I installed it. I'm using it to share a single CAT6 cable from my router to the master bedroom with a smart TV and a Roku box. The only negative is that the status lights are a little bright for a bedroom environment. It would be nice to be able to turn them off or at least dim them.

    i use ethernet switch in my work from home setup. i have multiple devices in my home office connected to this switch, which i keep under my desk. i then run one long ethernet cable to connect the switch to a router that's in the next room over. it's a bit convoluted of a setup, but it's very functional and does the job well. if you use this in a bedroom, you may need to tape over the lights which can get bright in a dark room.
