    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
