    I run a 100 ft 10 gb cat6 cable to my office and It works great. Great speeds between both the gaming PCs and extra Ethernet connections for our laptops/ steam decks. It survived being trampled off my desk by my cats several times.

    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.

    I have always loved linksys for the brands consistency and ease of use. This small switch is great for adding extra internet ports. I recently installed this On a cashier point of sale deck. It worked great right of the box. No programming, just plug and play!

    This is an excellent switch. Not much to say about performance, it does everything an Ethernet switch is supposed to do. Everything works seamlessly. Installation simple. With price match, I up the same day and at the best price available and didn't have to wait for two day shipping.

    Needed a 4+ port switch during quarantine and my local Best Buy came through with this beauty. Great price, easy installation, and it just works! Very pleased with the switch and the hands off curbside delivery. Bravo Best Buy!

    I have an ethernet wired house. It's nice to be able to plug one of these into a wall outlet and be able to use several ethernet connections from one wall plug. I have several of these and have never had a problem with any of them.

    There typically isn't much to say about an Ethernet switch--it either works or doesn't. Mine works, it was fairly priced and I prefer Linksys to other brands if given an option. In short, works great and does its job. The unit feels sturdy and has 5 ports. :)

    Utilize these switches when in a pinch and need one fast when my Ubiquiti is not available Switch does its job and holds up well for a lower commercial application. 10/100/1000 allow for fast intranet communication throughout network.
