    That little switch is a life saver. I just want to limit my WiFi connections and have few devices on wired LAN specially my streaming devices and this little box does it. Lucky I got it while it was on sale. Love Bestbuy.

    When I install the Google on hub in my home I realize that my original wireless network Modem is not going to work or be compatible with the Google on hub. I was told by Google that I need to purchase a network switch so I went out and got this one here from Best Buy. This is an amazing device and has enabled me to utilize my neighbor to the fullest capabilities

    Great item! I needed to run a line from the WiFi booster in my office to both a printer and my desktop pc. I needed this because the booster only has one Ethernet port. This was absolutely perfect. Very simple set up. I had everything running as needed within a few minutes.

    Pros: So far, this device works as advertised. Plug and play easy set up and I run multiple devices off it at the same time with no noticeable/detectable loss of speed. I highly recommend CAT 6 or better Ethernet cables. Why put low end fuel in an Corvette? ;-) Cons: They really need to update the picture as the ports are on the front of the device. This is not a big deal for me as the product is in the office pretty much out of site. However, I would not like it if it was in my entertainment center. I Definitely don't want a bunch of cables dangling in plain site.

    The Linksys 5 port gigabit Ethernet switch was exactly what I needed and it was so easy to set up. A simple plug and play expanded the number of devices I could plug into my network.

    Works very well as an Ethernet Switch. I have a few Ethernet peripheral devices plugged in that require Ethernet access. I have encountered no problems since I started using this.
