    Got it to split a friends Ethernet between the two of us. It worked phenomenally! Easy set up and high quality so I don’t have to worry about the longevity. Highly recommend if you’re needing to split a connection between devices.

    I needed to hook up all the items at my entertainment center and seeing as I prefer Ethernet to wireless when possible the 4 ports on my cable modem did cut it. Adding the Cisco switch was quick and easy. The unit is much smaller than the box gives the appearance. Easy to put anywhere. I would highly recommend.

    This ethernet switch works well for my purposes. I needed to split an ethernet plug in my office to connect to several printers and copiers. It's simply plug-and-play. Setup was straightforward. I have never had issues with Linksys networking equipment like this wired switch and would recommend it.

    Had an issue when upgrading internet to 1GB speeds, and was having issues only getting 100mbps on my desktop computers. I realized the Gigabit Switch was what I needed to upgrade to get my internet speeds throughout the house. Highly Recommended and at a cheap price!

    This replaced an older Netgear switch. This is a plug and play switch that is easy to install. The blue LED indicating power is super bright and on all the time, so I did have to put something under my entertainment center to block that light from being distracting or annoying.

    Picked a new modem and realized I only had 1 output on the back! This supported the max speed 1Gbps of my modem, and have had no latency issues whatsoever across multiple computers, consoles and smart accessories using its bandwidth. If you're looking to expand your hardwired internet options in your media or office area, this is perfect entry level.

    They don't make enough ports on the internet devices these days. This works perfect for my modem/router. Its small and doesn't require any software installation. Pretty self explanatory and works right out the box.

    I bought the Linksys Ethernet Switch to connect multiple computers in the office that are used heavily for video conferencing and office functions. I plugged in the Linksys, connected it to the internet input, and then plugged in my devices to the Ethernet ports. It was quick, simple and it just worked. The entire process was less than 10 minutes. It also looks good on the desk. My only wish is that the ports were in the back of the Linksys -- not the front.

    My old switch died so I bought this one. Plug it in and it works. I use this for my network in my basement. Three macs, smart TVs , and 3D printer. Very fast. Works 24/7.

    I already had a home office but this came in handy when the 'Rona hit and I had to hook up an extra PC. Works great, good speed and very reliable. Literally just plug your devices in and go, dumb switch with no settings or programming.

    I mainly use this switch for my dual PC NDI setup for streaming. It works great! This is also a great ethernet switch to use when your modem lacks extra ports. Works right out the box and it's easy to set up. Just plug and play.
