    I got a new high-speed ISP and the vendor provided hardware that only included a single hardwired port. This switch gives me an easy way to restore the number of connections I had before on my previous wireless access point. Perfect solution for streaming media when a wired connection is available. Connect multiple devices: TV, game consoles, BlueRay, etc.

    Fastest Gigabit Switch

    I needed a switch that could match the new gigabit speeds that I am receiving from Google Fiber. The router I was provided with only had two ethernet ports. I researched and found that this Linksys gigabit switch was the fastest. I have not have any issues with the speed and have always tested at 960 MB/sec every time--the same speed as connecting directly into the router. Highly recommended.

    New router only had 2 ethernet ports (Linksys Velop Mesh). I was able to feed one of those lines into this then send lines out from this to 4 devices and worked immediately. Handles speed and large data dumps over the network well. Small and the LED lights are bright enough to be noticed. Overall: Would buy again

    Easy to install since it’s plug & play. Ethernet from the to the router, then to the switch. From the switch, to my computer, the TV, and a back haul to a bridge router in the garage. It’s an unmanaged switch so you don’t need to plug the cable from the router into a specific port on the switch. Works great!

    This is a great switch. It's cost effective and works right out of the box. Anybody with switches slower than a gigabit switch should definitely make the switch to a gigabit switch. Guaranteed a boost in your network speeds.

    Bought this because my router only had 1 LAN port and needed a second one. Easy to install and seems to be working well. Nice little unit for the price. Plus I still have room for expansion if need be.
