    Good switch! Only very small problem I have is the power on light is too bright and large for my taste. Other wise I have no problems with setup or functionality of this Linksys switch,

    This ethernet hub works great. I’ve purchased two of these so that I have less traffic on my wifi network. In my living room, I have my smart TV, Apple TV, PS5, and Nintendo Switch plugged all into one hub without network performance issues. In another room I have two Apple computers, an all-in-one printer, and NAS plugged into another. So far everything has been working as it should without any decreases in my upload and download speeds.

    THIS IS A GREAT, CHEAP, 8-PORT SWITCH. I USED MAINLY FOR MY ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEM. IT CLEARLY IDENTIFIES THE CONNECTION IN SD OR HD. NO MORE GLITCHES IN BAND-WIDTH INTERRUPTIONS.

    I upgrade from an existing linksys switch (that was about 5 years-old) to this one, which can easily run past 100 MB download speeds. Perfect for Mediacom users in the Midwest.

    Attractive Design

    Compact size making this Linksys 8 port switch a good unit if space is of a concern. I chose this unit for several reasons, compact size, easy setup, a unit where the ports are in the rear and the LED lights are on the front. Besides this is a very attractive unit. One thing to think about when buying a switch, if you think that you might be using more than 5 ports-buy a 8 port switch instead, you will be saving yourself some money.
