This switch performs perfectly and is a breeze to set up. It is simply plug and play. I would recommend it to anyone looking for an inexpensive and very effective way to expand their LAN.

There typically isn't much to say about an Ethernet switch--it either works or doesn't. Mine works, it was fairly priced and I prefer Linksys to other brands if given an option. In short, works great and does its job. The unit feels sturdy and has 5 ports. :)

Very simple plug and go set up, which is really great. No speed loss from my router to this, have all ports used and have experienced no problems. The only downside is that there are only 5 ports, if you only need a few this is a good purchase for a reasonable price.

This was super easy to connect and set up completely. It has no loss of speed. Then again that could also be attributed to the cat6 wire. But overall it is great. Takes up very little space and the price on it is nothing compared to others.

Input switch for use with our computer. It has 5 inputs, and we connect display, UPS, Nintendo, and PlayStation cables here. It's very accessible for connecting everything to your computer. Excellent purchase.

My previous network switch was burned out by lightning (through the Ethernet cable). This one was very reasonably priced and has worked flawlessly. Ordered online and picked up at the store.

Linksys is a very reliable, simple connectivity, and priced right. Needed to split my network for my home wifi and Sonis wifi. Did the trick with just plugging it in as it's an unmanaged switch.

Best Buy had this switch at a great price so picked up to add to my wired network to add game consoles and Apple TV to network. Was easy to set up and was up and running in minutes.

It’s a network switch, not much else to expand on. It adds the additional needed ports for my ever expanding network. Meets the expectation and was a good deal on sale!

This device was much needed as my internet provider (xfinity) updated the modem/router and it only had 2 ethernet ports. With today's wide array of connected devices it was ridiculous to see only the 2 ports as I have many more devices than that. This worked perfectly for me and was very easy to set up. I have had it for over a month and there have been no problems whatsoever and it has kept up with the fast internet speeds. A must have and was a very reasonable price.

Certainly never surprised by Linksys' quality. I needed something low profile and inexpensive to run a set of computers in my office. Simplistic set-up (PnP), too.

It is easy to use, and does what it is supposed to. Mine is covered in dust, forgotten about, and still chugging along without a hitch. Five stars.

I was experiencing all kinds if intermittent Web access plus computer-to-computer connectivity with my wired home network. I replaced my Netgear modem-router, relocated it, and on and on. All my problems disappeared when I replaced my old switch with the Linksys switch. Easy to install. Problem-free.

I needed a few more Ethernet ports since my Linksys router nay had 4. I purchased this switch and it was extremely simple to set up, simply plug in the AC adapter, connect an Ethernet cable to one of the ports on my router, and it was up and running in less than 5 minutes, and I don’t consider myself to be a tech wizard. No software to mess with although it would be nice if they provided a short Ethernet cable but no bid deal. Can’t beat the price, works great, highly recommend it!

Small and doesn't take up a lot of space. It's plug and pay so not set up needed and my speeds are very good.
