    East setup. Plug and Play. Come with power cable. You will need to purchase Ethernet cables separately.

    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.

    This was a life saver for me. I had multiple devices I wanted to hardwire. This device made it very easy to do so. Saved me lots of extra cable length.

    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 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.

    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 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
