    As easy as it gets to expand the number of plug-in ports. Just plug it into the wall, plug it into either another switch or directly to a router, plug your devices in, and away it goes.

    Works perfect with Xfinity xFi Advanced Gateway which only had 2 Ethernet ports just connect a Ethernet cord from the switch to the Gateway and it gives every Ethernet port on the switch internet access

    This is a perfect addition to extend a network. 8 Gigabit ports allow connecting many devices in a potential SOHO configuration. Simply put, it just works as it should.

    Very easy to set up. Put the input ethernet into any of the Ports (Preferably 1 for convenience) and use the remaining 7 for output ethernet connects.

    I just needed to add some wired ports to what is available on my router. I didn't want to spend a fortune and did not need management features. This fit the bill nicely and works great.

    Good Gigabit Ethernet Switch

    Good functional 8 port Gigabit Ethernet Switch. It has enabled me to connect multiple devices in my home to the internet via LAN cable. The only thing I don't like about it is the fact that the power cable attaches to the switch on the opposite side of the switch from the ethernet cables. That means there is no side to cleanly face toward my room.

    I have a Netgear in one spot in my home and needed another switch. The Linksys was on sale and I was hoping that it would work as well as the Netgear. Definitely lived up to my hopes.
