    So much better. Hubby can play his games but change it back to TV without having to unplug the system... And now the wife is not stuck without TV because he forgot to switch it back!

    I needed a switch quickly, the folks at Best Buy, since we are a non-profit it is important to save money, they pointed me to this device, and it was inexpensive, easy to set up and works like the specs say. Thanks Best Buy!

    Easy setup, literally plugin and ready to roll. :) I'm just using this to expand the number of ports on the back of my wireless router, and it s great. Doesn't produce much heat, and I've had no issues and gigabyte connectivity.

    I needed a new switch to replace a wireless router acting as a switch and bought this one. Piece of cake to set up, literally unplugged the old one, plugged this one in and magic... works as expected, took 2 minutes to swap out the old one, and works with no issues.

    Unit purchased to interface a DirecTv DVR box, PS4, and Samsung BluRay player to a Gigabit port on my Xfinity cable modem/router. I just plugged the cables into the switch ports, powered the switch, and INSTANT CONNECTION/COMMUNICATION to cable modem. I discern no "speed loss" through the switch with all units connected - all network traffic seems "lightning fast", regardless of how many units are active. In summary: this switch is a fast, inexpensive, and EFFORTLESS way of connecting up to 4 "Internet" devices (one port is always the "main feed") to a single "feed" port (modem, LAN port, etc.). Just make sure you use CAT5e or CAT6 cables to ensure Gigabit data rates.

    I actually really had low hopes for this product because when splitting the internet into a splitter you would think the internet would slow down but with this product it actually maintained quite well, excellent product.

    I purchased this to add ethernet lines to other rooms in my house and it’s great! The sores in Reducing from it is consistent to the dotted I get directly from my modem. I ended up purchasing two.
