    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.

    Works just as it should. Currently not using the Poe functions but I did test with poe cameras and they worked flawlessly testing the cameras.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    It's a great product as far as quality and structure. It replaces my plastic counterpart, and I am really glad for its material and how well it was put together.

    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.

    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!

    Switches do not require settings. So they are inherently easy to install. Some switches, however, do not have built-in attachment holes for wall-mounting. This unit had the attachment holes. I avoid buying any devices unless they have a means of mounting. Neither screws nor a hole-spacing template were provided. I would have rated the unit higher if a template were included. Making the template and locating appropriate screws made the installation take longer than I would have liked. This unit works fine, I have Gigabit transmission, and I recommend it.

    It was super cheap and it did the job I needed. I would have preferred the Unifi brand...but when time is of the essence beggars can't be choosers.

    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.
