    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.

    Linksys networking products never disappoint. I've deployed dozens of these in small businesses that need one or two additional ports somewhere without incurring the expense of adding professional network drops.

    I was looking for a good DIY option to extend LAN coverage throughout my home and it’s been nothing short of perfect. Tons of speed and I don’t have to worry about any lag while gaming, since I’m “hard lined” into my PS5.

    Does exactly what it should. One LAN port to router/switch... the others to various connected Ethernet items. This is being used for a collection of Sonos amps and a wireless camera base mounted in a utility closet. Keeping everything on the wired network for permanent connectivity. Not latency lag or issues after years of always on. Again, does exactly what it should.

    Small, simple switch

    Nice, rather attractive small sized switch. Only about 3x5x1 inch in size, so you can fit it just about anywhere around your other computer equipment, and rectangular so you can stand it on its end if so desired instead of the those funny shaped models you sometimes see that would tip over. Also has mounting holes on the bottom side so you can hang it from a wall or rack. My only complaint that reduces it to four stars is that it uses a two prong AC adapter but with a narrow, yet tall AC/DC converter head, so it may not fit well onto crowded power strips and UPSs next to a fatter head - a small head with the AC/DC converter equipment moved a few inches away (like a laptop's) would have made for better design.
