    This is a great little switch. Just plug it in, plug in your devices (with one going to your router if you are trying to wire more things into you internet connection) and forget that it's even there!

    This seems to be working very well since installing it. Noticed that our internet was very slow so we purchased this and wow! Much better since we installed this! Good purchase, would buy it again, highly recommend.

    I don't really have much to say about this switch (which is a good thing). I have not had to mess with it one time since I set it up about a month ago. I love the reliability, knowing that I can set it up and not think about it again.

    I bought this for my college student dorm. Since it has 5 ports for internet connection, it made it easier to attach all the items that needed internet in one single box.

    For some reason we had a router tied into our network we didn't need. The router interfered with other things on the network. I put the switch in for two computers and an IP camera. Does what we want it to do and very easy setup.

    I replaced my Xfinity WiFi modem which the new one only had w ethernet ports to my disappointment. This new switch gave me 5 additional fast data ports and takes up little to no space. I love it.

    I bought this for my wife to use to connect multiple co-workers to an ethernet connection for web-conferences. For this, it's perfect. It is completely plug-and-play. Just plug in an ethernet connection to one of the ports, and the other four ports will spread that connection to a further four devices. This would also be great in a home theater/entertainment center situation where there are multiple devices (like a game console, Blu-Ray player, smart-TV, etc) that can utilize an available wired connection. Devices like that always work better with a wired connection, and this is an uncomplicated way to provide it. Highly recommended.

    Great switch for the price I got it for. Got it during a sale and does what I need it to do. So far no issues. Worth it if you are looking for a small switch and a steal during sale price.
