    Love this little 5port Ethernet switch. Perfect for travel. I use this when setting up multiple workstation/laptops when I only have one network drop to work with. Speeds are fast. Highly recommend this product.

    For the price, this ethernet switch is exactly what I needed in my recording studio to connect all of my AVID controllers and Waves digigrid to my mac pro.

    I have purchased many network switches for personal and business use. This one is my favorite of the budget variety. It is very well built and can be mounted to different surfaces. Always on and working.

    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.

    Not the model advertised...wrong picture

    Linksys completely changed the configuration of this unit. The picture shows Ver 1, with all the lights in front & network jacks in back... the way I like it. HOwever, I couldn't find ver 1 at any BB, Ver 2 was the only version available. To confuse you more, it's under the same SKU # at BB as Ver 1, however, both the networks jacks AND lights are on the back in Ver 2.. with the power cord on the front, ughh - it's ugly no matter which side you have facing you. This new design is clearly intended to be hung on a wall, not sitting on a desk or entertainment center... other than that, the unit performs as advertised, i just don't like the design of the newer version 2 at all for asthetic reasons...

    Don't complain about slow internet if you are using slow interfaces. Be sure to use gigabit ethernet where you can. This is an excellent way to connect more devices.

    My son's dorm room only had 1 internet connection so we purchased this so he and his roommate could use their video game consoles at the same time. So far it's working.

    Needed more ports at my cable modem. Bought this device, plugged in the Ethernet cables, plugged this into the modem , applied power and was fully functional. What could be easier?

    Working from home created a need for more things to be connected and just not enough ports. This switch does what it is intended to do and have had zero issues so far.
