    Well, an unmanaged Ethernet switch has a pretty simple job to do, but this does it well with no problems. Got gigabit links on all ports, switch takes a couple minutes to boot up, but then you never have to think about it again. Added 3 PCs and a printer to our corporate network without any problems (remember you need one port as an uplink, so this will connect 4 devices).

    This is a solid metal device, so quite sturdy it seems. It upgraded me to a gigabit switch for a good price, so just what I needed. No problems.

    It is a great switch for a small workgroup/network. Very easy to installed. I will come back to get some more of it and looking for 8-port or 16 if they have one.

    As we need more ports to handle more tech , Modems , Routers only have so many plug ins....This give you 5 more to work with. Perfect for what I needed.

    Good—just not for my particular situation.

    I wanted to use this as an Ethernet Switch between my modem (which has a single LAN port) and my router. My modem is located in a cabinet where my living room electronics are installed and is connected via a CAT6 to my WiFi Router, which is in the middle of my basement so as to cover the whole house. I wanted to use this switch to hardwire my living room devices instead of the current WiFi-only connections but I could not get more everything to connect at the same time with this thing. After a bit of trouble shooting and research I figured it out—it wasn’t installed behind a DHCP device. Unbeknownst to me my modem does not support DHCP and to work correctly this switch needs to be installed behind a device that does (like a router). I verified this by connecting multiple devices to the switch behind the router. In that configuration, it worked. So, in my situation, the switch was worthless. But in other set-ups (behind a router or a modem that supports DHCP) it would probably be just fine.

    As always Linksys delivers. The switch works great and the set-up is extremely simple, plug power, plug Ethernet cables and you are rolling.
