    I have two computers and a Playstation 4 that I would like all to be hardwired connected, but didn't want to run multiple LAN cables from the router. This device was the bridge I needed to connect all my computers with LAN cables. The internet is fast and steady with incredible speeds. A good buy.

    Easy plug and play. Currently manages a smart tv, gaming console, digital storage drive, and home security hub. Have yet to experience any disruptions to any device. Much better speed than having to tap into WIFI for everything.

    It works great. I tried to also use it to connect a Cisco Conference Phone. This does not work if plugging an item that requires a powered port. It is a great product. I ended up using it to allow multiple laptops to connect at Conference Table. Works well for that.

    I purchased this because my new eero router only has one Ethernet output. I have 3 devices I normally have connected to my router via Ethernet for better performance. Easy simply plug and play switch. No need to buy a big expensive one, this one does the trick

    I have installed it and it has been working great. No sign of issue with connection. I did take out the extended warranty for the $5 just in case it decides to go dead after a year or two. My old one stopped working and do not know why,

    Switch has worked perfectly to let me get all of my devices connected to my network easily. I prefer to connect by ethernet whenever possible, so this switch has given me a lot more options in my home office. Connections have been stable and I've seen no evidence of throughput loss since connecting.

    Purchased this product in anticipation of upgrading wifi to a mesh system. When installing, I found that the new router did not have enough ethernet ports. The Linksys was easy to install and get up and running. Have had no problems since.

    I've been using Linksys switches for my clients who need additional data jacks in spaces where new ports just aren't so easy. Linksys continues to deliver reliable and fast network hardware, and now it's even better to look at! I would recommend this switch to family, friends, and clients alike.

    Not all switches are created equal. This Linksys port is not only fast but it will reduce power to unused ports to save energy. In this era of smart power strips and saving energy (at least here in CA), small things like this add up. Plug and use technology. Nothing to install. It just works!

    Works excellent for our needs and was an easy plug and play setup. Picture on the Best Buy website wasn't correct, as I pointed this out to the manager (which probably didn't go further), but is a great Ethernet switch and works perfect without any issues.
