    This switch was bought to extend a small segment of my network and has been great. No issues at all so far and has been rock solid. Performance has been exceptional.

    This network switch was what I was looking for to hardwire the multiple computers, TVs and security cameras I have. I bought it for the quality and reputation that Linksys has. This switch is only 8 ports and they do make higher ports and it is powered as most are.

    The Linksys 8-Port Gigabit Ethernet Switch was needed as part of my hook-up for my "Whole House" Network system. It provided additional hook-ups for my Whole House Network. It works fine and allows for greater flexibility with all of my equipment.

    Very much needed for our double in-home office set-up especially during the remote work-from-home time during the pandemic. We use ethernet cables to direct-wire our computers to this device so we can take advantage of the top-level business class internet.

    I needed an HDMI switch, but I also wanted to use my soundbar with my projector. This was the perfect solution. More than enough HDMI inputs & an optical out for the soundbar, so I can plug EVERYTHING into this bad boy and have the outputs I need for a true home theatre system.

    Good quality device at a good price. I purchased this on sale at Best Buy before Christmas. I purchased it to replace a switch that would drop connections periodically. It does the job, and includes network controls that put it a step above some other units at this price point. Nice device I would recommend to others.

    Normally I would buy something a little cheaper but we needed it right away at work, it's a simple switch and works as such but at gigabit speed. Continues to work great.

    Weak wi-fi solution

    I purchased this ethernet switch to ease the load on my wi-fi network. With the many devices that are running at once wi-fi becomes slow and unreliable. Ethernet connection is the solution. This 8 port switch hooked up my tv, hi-res streamer, cable box, xbox console, and two laptops. No more wi-fi issues!

    I should have bought a bigger one because I need more parts lol. This is a great product, I have two of them. I recently upgraded from the four port to the bigger one. I will be buying more

    Works well and setup was a breeze. I would have gone with 5 stars but the power port in the side is not the best design.
