Easy to set up and all of my gear is getting download speeds of over 300 mbps. I only gave it 4 out of 5 in quality because I've only had it for about a month and dont know what its lifespan will be. It does have a solid feel to it though not a cheap plasticky lightweight feel.

Works perfectly. Plug in and use. I needed to run Ethernet across my basement to hard wire my PS5 and Xbox. This worked perfectly

Good luck It works very well, it is well priced, I recommend it to everyone who needs it.

The Linksys 8-Port Gigabit Ethernet Switch is great, and improved my home network. It allowed me to connect all of my Apple TV's using an ethernet cable, which is better for streaming, especially in 4K.

[Employee of bestbuy] The product was easy to setup and use. Everthing that is running off of the product is working properly and getting good bandwith.

Dows what it should do. I replaced an 8-port 100Meg switch with this one. Works well no set up just plug in Network cables and it works. Just use Cat5e or better cables, Cat5 cables will not work as well. Like others have said the photo does not match the product.

Worked Great! If you pay for 100MB+ internet services and you have wired devices in use, you NEED to upgrade to a 10/100/1000 MB switch to provide full speeds to your devices!

Installation simply plug it in. Ports are on the front, so easy to access. I paired this with a Velop mesh router to give me 8 LAN ports for local hardwired devices such as desktop computers and VoIP phone adapter.

So much better than a router, easy to expand on a network that just needs more LAN ports.

Its a switch that works like it should I am using it to run internet though out my house on cat 6 wires. So now the whole house is hard wired and the wireless router is on may main floor and not in the basement anymore.

The LinkSys switch works flawlessly. I was concerned about other switches not playing nice with my LinkSys Router and decided to buy a switch with the same mfr name. So, I bought, plugged it in, added the connecting cables and it worked without me having to make it work... a good thing.

I had to get a switch because I ran out of spots on my router and setting it up couldn't be easier. I just plugged everything in, turned on the power, and now I have five devices connected directly to my router and they all work beautifully.

Super reliable plug and play no setup necessary, performs great

My only complaint is Linksys implementation on a 100 MB connection. The problem showed up with a Chromecast Ultra. The Ultra does Ethernet over USB from the wall-wart to the Chromecast. Google for some reason says the preference is to use a wired connection instead of WiFi (the Ultra is capable of 802.11AC). The Linksys shows the port as amber which confused me as that normally means the port is not working. Turns out the Chromecast can only do a 100 meg connection and the Linksys shows the 100 meg connection as an amber light and not green. The documentation (which I eventually read) explains this. I disagree with Linksys' choice to use an amber light for a 100 meg connection. I also think Google is off since a solid AC connection is going to give more throughput then a 100 meg connection. Other then that complaint this is working well and added the necessary ports I needed.

I have every console and some older ones that are still can get online. I always disliked unplugging one to use another or doing so and breaking the plastic to keep the ethernet cable in the device. Well this helps with that immensely.

This was exactly what I needed for work. We needed to add an additional monitor and this is exactly what we needed.

I used this to help establish my Google Wifi router and it just does its job so well!! Just plug and play and BOOM! you’re in! Would definitely recommend if you have your router in a stationary location but need to plug in smart bridges and other devices directly.

The Best option for todays need for multiple Ethernet direct wire connections for external operations of add on Smart home features.

I does the thing. Plug in the chords then more chords and plug the ends in correctly and you have inter webs

Great for adding ports for additional devices to connect to wifi network. Easy, just plug it in and connect cables for devices you want to add. I like Linksys. I've had Linksys for many years. Easy to work with and reliable.
