    With about a bajillion devices - Philips Hue hub, Sonos, Ikea, etc., needed a switch to make everything go. 8 ports is plenty and this is small and appears well made.

    I had to buy this to use under my Google WiFi mesh. Was very easy plug and play. A definite great replacement to my old Cisco with far better speeds. My internal Network is happy.

    This 8 port switch was easy to set up and works great! I plugged it into my router and it worked flawlessly! It's only a few more dollars to get the 8 port version of this vs. the 5. Highly recommend!
