    As of today since owning this Switch I have never had any issues with connections or speeds. It has served its purpose just fine. I have about 4 devices connected to this switch as well as other devices connnected to the same network via Wi Fi. No issues whatesoever.

    Needed an additional ethernet port for a recently acquired Comcast box. The install took 5 minutes. Plug in the power cable. Plug in a jumper from the switch to the cable box and hook up the ethernet cables. As with others, you must supply a jumper cable to connect the switch to the cable box.

    I bought this Ethernet switch to give me just a few more additional ports for my home theater room components. The linksys was the perfect size and worked ideal in conjunction with my router. This device helps me reduce the amount of items that are on my wifi which most certainly slows the system down. Highly recommended!

    I have found in the last 5 years that without spending the money for a commercial grade port switch, Linksys allows all 1GB speeds to run at roughly the same speed at the same time. It's the best value for the price. Much better than Netgear or ASUS.

    Does what it's supposed to do reliably. Add extra ethernet ports to your router most only have 4 this does the job to expand your ethernet ports. Lights are little bright black stickers or tape will tone the blue light down however easy fix.

    I needed more ports to run my connections and made a great buy getting this. I now have what I need, it's small enough for the space I have and very happy how easy it was to hook up.

    I purchased this switch in conjunction with my Google Nest router. The router only has one Lan out. I have several smart home devices that needed their own land connection. The switch work perfectly and solve my problem. All connected devices work quickly
