    I purchased this device because I hate having my devices connected via wifi but I had to many to use just the router so I need more space and this definitely does the job. Also for a few extra bucks 8 ports vs 5 ports is definitely better. Setup is as easy as you would think. There is none. Just plug the incoming cable into the switch. I just always use 1 but you can use whatever you'd like. Then the rest of the ports are for the rest of your devices. I love it.

    Simple switch at a reasonable price. Great for connecting your home network which likely requires more ports than on your router.

    So far, this network hub has worked great! There's a little bit of slowdown in network traffic, but that's to be expected in any sort of hub, and shouldn't dissuade you from grabbing this is you need a hub! Very user-friendly, just plug-and-play. No complaints.

    Bought this so I could connect a wireless Access Point on my Lanai as the in house wifi signal would not pass through the walls of the house. Had a central junction box in the house for Cat 6 cables and electric. Plugged the Linksys switch in connected the cables and I had wired internet available inside and out of the house. Tested the Access Point outside and it worked like a charm. Simple set up: Plug it in and connect the cables.

    This is a great and cheap device that allows for in-home hardwiring of ethernet in a multitude of rooms. All you have to do is mount it and plug in the cables and you're done - the internal circuitry does all the work for you. Be aware that you should check your home ethernet/phone cabling first before installing, as some homes are not wired for ethernet or gigabit ethernet.
