    I've been buying Linksys routers and switches for years and they never break down and always maintain good resell value. I just bought this switch because he moved into a bigger house and needed to connect all my google WiFi mesh access points directly (hardwired) to the main access router point. Couldn't be more pleased as I get top speeds all over the house with all 9 access points hardwired into this switch.

    This was great when it worked but there was an issue that it would lose power anytime it or the power supply was even just touched. Sometimes it would lose power without even being touched or moved at all.

      Hi, BokaJr,

      Have you tried plugging the switch into a different outlet? Sometimes, it's just a loose power connection causing the issue. Drop us a line at LinksysCares@linksys.com and we can dive deeper into this. Make sure to include your contact information and a link to this post as a reference.

      Regards,

    My router has 4 ethernet ports. My work from home arrangement required me to hardline my work equipment to my personal router. My router was full. This device has allowed me to expand my connections so that I continue with great personal internet service and stay connected with my work equipment.
