    I bought this hub to be able to hook up a couple computers for use in our office. It is fast and fits on top of the computer. Great deal for the price.

    This is truly “Plug N Play”. Just plug this switch into your router and plug your devices into the switch. A simple solution to running out of ports on your router when you don’t want to upgrade the router. I should have gotten a bigger switch though because there are always more devices to plug in!

    Purchased this Gigabit Ethernet Switch to connect additional devices to my home office network. The device is very compact and worked as expected. I'm considering getting another one of these for elsewhere in the house. I have used lots of Linksys networking products and wouldn't consider another company for all my networking needs.

    I love this gigabit Ethernet switch. It is as they say plug and play. I used to have three Ethernet cables running to my TV, roku & Blu-ray player, It's much faster than Wi-Fi, but now I have one Ethernet cable running to the switch and plug my three devices into the switch. It's much neater now, my wife loves that.

    If you need a switch to either isolate traffic from the rest of your network or just expand the number of connections this is an easy one to set up. Just plug it in and connect your devices. That's it. Mine has been running for months without worry, reset, or interruptions.

    Ive used several of these switches around my company’s office and they are just good reliable switches. Plug in your connected line and the 3-4 other lines and you’re good to go. I can’t speak much to the routing capabilities but for getting wired connections to multiple computers these are hard to beat.

    I needed multiple outlets for my devices. The Linksys 5 Ethernet switch is perfectly suited for all my devices. Easy to connect, and very fast without lag! Highly recommend this unit.

    I bought it to expand the Linksys - Velop Tri-Band Mesh Wi-Fi System (2-pack) - White which only comes with 1 poet and I have other systems that require a wire network connection. It’s small therefore fits inside the cabinet where I have the rest of the network equipment and it’s reliable.

    Needed to replace a bad switch in my Dad's second floor to feed his printer, tv and access point and this was just what was needed. It's small, tough and reliable. Granted, I'd like to get him completely moved to a Ubiquiti system from top to bottom, but this will keep things going until then.

    Great unit, I just wish that the lights were not so bright especially at night. It's in our bedroom hence I feel its a little too bright but works just fine. I have been using true dark dots and that helps some to calm the lighting at night.

    We needed something quick and easy to install so we could run our TV, sonos sound bar, and cable receiver on 1 ethernet connection. We only had one ethernet port in our bedroom. This makes streaming so much faster then pulling off our wifi!

    Has worked perfectly along with our Velop wireless 2200 setup for a desktop we need connected with a cable. Also for a Tivo unit. All ports are in use and have worked well with no issue since purchase. Easy setup too.

    It doesn't get any easier than this. If all you need to do is split 1 internet connection to 5 or less, this is the product for you. No wireless, no fancy settings. Just plug in your main connection and plug other connects off it. No noticeable speed degradation. The only problem I have is it not obvious how to configure quality of service (QOS) where I can prioritize certain traffic. I have home office and my phone calls traverse the internet for me so I would like to make sure the voice traffic is given priority. This product supposedly does that but I can't figure out how to set it up.
