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.

So easy to set up. Just run an ethernet cable from the last available port on your router to the first port on this unit and then enjoy the remaining ports for use with other devices.
