    An old router with four each physical ports decided to stop functioning. I needed to replace the bad router with something that would extend outputs to printers and another computer without the WIFI. This solution was quick, inexpensive and provides the necessary lights to see when the equipment that is connected to the switch is talking to the network. Thanks!

    The humble ethernet switch

    Recently, I did some reconfiguration of my home network and needed more ports than are available on my router. Having spent many working years as a network engineer, I picked up this 5-port Ethernet switch. I chose it by experience and reputation. Gave me not only the extra port I needed, but by offloading all my devices from the router, I actually am experiencing better performance, since I am not bogging down the router. In particular, NAS doesn't experience network loss because of too many collisions on the router.

    Its a small switch that generates no heat and does what it's supposed to do. I did a speed test before connecting the switch and after connecting the switch and saw no difference in my speed tests. So the switch doesn't slow your internet speed at all.

    Fine Ethernet Switch for a reasonable price. I have trouble connecting certain ethernet communications devices to a spare router I had (turned off wifi so I thought it would act like a switch) but no go. Replaced that with this inexpensive switch and it worked first time out. Very pleased.

    With a mom working from home and two kids doing remote learning 6 hours a day, using WiFi was a problem because someone was always getting kicked off. So, instead of using WiFi we I installed the Linksys 5 port Gigabit Ethernet Switch and left mom on WiFi while the two kids used ethernet connections from their room to the Linksys which was inserted into the Verizon router. No more drops and now everyone is happy.
