    My router only had one plug....and new peripherals required me to have two more. This filled the bill wonderfully.

    It's a good switch. My home network has expanded a LOT over the past couple of years due mostly to IOT options. This has been a great way to hook up a lot of the hubs without taking the valuable ports on my router.

    With everyone in my house at home working on the wireless network it slowed to a crawl. I hard-wired the computers and printers using this switch and Ethernet cables and now everyone's download speeds is super fast!

    Needed a simple unmanaged gigabit switch for my home network. It is inexpensive and does the job well. If you have no additional needs aside from getting systems hooked to a network, this is a good option.

    Works great.. speed tests appear to have the performance I would expect. It makes my internet connection that much better knowing that I can plug in 8 devices to my gigablast fiber optic connection.
