    This was very easy to install. I guess it has to be because I wouldn't have a clue what to do if it was very technical.

    I use 2 of these under a 16 port switch by Linksys in two separate rooms. The activity lights do differentiate between fast ethernet and gigabit Ethernet at the port level. Green for gigabit and Amber for fast ethernet. Did discover a newer TV was only equiped with fast ethernet rather than gigabit.
