    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.

    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.

    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!

    After ordering a recommended product online that didn't do what I was told it would, I went into a Best Buy store and searched for myself. The 5-port Gigabit Ethernet Switch was exactly what I needed and is doing its' job. Very satisfied with this product.

    I bought this at the recommendation of the man who installed our fiber internet. I literally just plugged in the power, connected the ethernet cables I needed, and all my devices were connected and operational. Easy as 1 2 3. Affordable and high quality.

    I am not using this switch other than to increase the number of outputs from my router, but it works fine and there is absolutely nothing to setting this up. Switches themselves do all the work for you in terms of learning the network addresses of your devices and routing data traffic.

    I purchased this the Linksys: 5-port Gigabit Ethernet Switch after my NETGEAR ProSAFE 5-Port Gigabit Ethernet Switch (GS105 v5) had failed. I use this switch to connect my computer, printer, and internet phone. The metal case is durable and I have not had a single problem. Great product!
