    This is a great little switch. Gets the job done as soon as everything is hooked up. Very happy with this purchase and very happy with my new current setup.

    Even I of limited ability in this area was able to set up and connect in a couple of minutes. No it's at all.

    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.

    So far so good. Exactly what I needed. Big enough to get the job done, but doesn't take up much space.

    Not much to say about a switch. Took it out of the box, plugged in the power and connected the cat5 cables. Worked as advertised and expected. Reasonable price.

    SMALL BUT FUNCTIONAL

    I did not know that a product like this even existed before the purchase. It solved a problem of two many cables/wires intersecting across the small living space I occupy. Now my Sony Bravia TV, Sony 4k Blu-ray player and HP laptop are all connected to the Linkys Ethernet switch without the mess. The advantage is that now I can do software upgrades for the TV and 4K player while increasing the Mbps rate for the laptop without any other connections or issues. I did not know that if you connect your laptop to the router with an Ethernet cable the download and upload speed increases.

    I have used Linksys products since they were first introduced (prior to CISCO). I needed additional ports and this 5-port switch has been a solid choice.

    Does the job as expected. Small enough to fit in small media cabinets. Have 3 scattered the house and enabled a full gigabit network. Awesome
