    I purchased this switch to add ethernet ports to my existing router/modem to add wired connections to a PS5, PS4 and a desktop computer. Has worked well and I have not had any issues.

    Great Simple Switch

    During the pandemic I suddenly had three people working from my home office when I used to have just one. To get better internet speeds I needed to increase the wired capability in my office from one computer to three. This switch was the answer. It is plug and play and has worked flawlessly. I now have three wired internet connections in my office and speed test show no loss of speed on any of the three computers. If you want a switch that will let you configure VLANs this is not the switch for you. It is a simple switch and does what it is supposed to do.

    I bought this ethernet switch to expand my router's capacity. It was a snap to hook up and works beautifully. One note, though, be aware it does not come with an ethernet cable, so you will need to purchase that separately.

    Was an easy set up. The on-line help and registration gave great instruction. I also liked that it has multiple Ethernet connections, do not need any extensions and signal works in all rooms well.

    The Linksys - 5-port Gigabit Ethernet Switch does its job. It had good reviews. I have had no problems with it. I recently upgraded my house for faster speed (cable modem, gigabit router, and this linksys switch) - I get great speed between devices.
