    I bought this product because my old switch was fried in an electrical storm. It was simple to swap the old switch out for this one. I set it up to extend the wired enet connections to my main router. I just plug it in and forget about it. It just works. Becasue of ease of use and setup, I give this product high ratings.

    I needed some extra ethernet ports as my router had become full. I found this one online while reading some reviews. Bought it, brought it home and plugged everything up as described and... everything worked. Just that simple. Plug it up, plug things in, and good to go. I love it when things are simple.

    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.

    This switch does the job and seems to work efficiently. Easy plug & play setup. I am using all 5 ports. I checked the speed on my main PC before and after installation and there was no significant change in internet data transfer rates.

    Does what its supposed to do! Has 5 ports, one must be used for input, so you only have 4 outward ports.

    Needed a few more Ethernet port. This does the job fine. Haven’t tested the PoE port yet, but if works, great little perk. Small to tuck away or wall mount.

    As an IT Manager for a large company it's nice to have material close at hand when needed. That is why we purchased this and we were very happy with the purchase. Small footprint and high quality. If you need a small switch for a project in the office or for your home this is the item to get.

    Plugged in, started working faster than the old 10baseT. It's been on a month and no smoke or flames. The power supply is nice and small, but you'll want a power strip with the ground running along the length or it will take up 2 spots.

    Great if you need some extra ports to connect game systems for a blazing fast speed, or to connect your computer! I get 800mbps download with my Xbox using this! Of you have the service speed and need the ports this is a lifesaver!
