With a little tech know how, hooking this up was a breeze. Fits perfectly behind my TV and serves all my wired in needs from my game console, to my TV and computer. Inexpensive and it gets the job done.

New Router that we got from Xfinity only came with two slots, and our previous router that died had four slots. We were using the connection from the router to the tower, as well as two other computers in the house hard wired to the router as well as a Nintendo Switch. When we brought this home and realized we were short two ports. we realized there was NO WAY this new setup was gonna work, so after doing some research online, found out about this, which ironically is ALSO called a "Switch". Brought it home, connected all the Ethernet cables up to it and voila, just like nothing had ever changed, plus we have an extra port now for another gaming system if we want! Great price and works perfectly!

- I've used these little 5-Port Switches for 20 years at work in industrial settings, where high heat, high humidity and hard use is normal.
- Even though I've installed dozens of these devices, I can count on 1 hand how many have gone bad.
- These are simply the best value in a 5-Port Ethernet Switch.

This is a nice little switch. Setup is simple with no worries about which port to use - all are active and switch automatically. I bought this so an internet connection could be shared between a desktop computer, a Blu-ray player and direct TV box. Very easy to use for novice users - there is no need for the switch to be managed since this is just a simple 5 port switch.

The ethernet switch is easy to install and works flawlessly. The switch is designed well and is compact and unobtrusive. It's has 5 ports which is more than enough for most users.

Works as advertised - a good purchase for me. I got a new xfinity modem/router and my 6 tb wdmycloud nas drive would not be recognized by the network. I brought this switch and put it in between the xfinity device and the nas drive and problem resolved. The xfinity device only had 2 ethernet ports leaving me 2 short of being able to hook up my nas drive, smart tv, android box and laptop. In addition to resolving my NAS connection issue it resolved my lack of port issue. I have all my connections hard wired for speed and have a free port on the mode/router to add a game system.

This unit is very easy to set up/install and takes up very little room on my desk. I bought it at the advice of a Best Buy associate so I can operate a wired network including my desktop PC (upstairs office), my notebook (downstairs music studio) and my BluRay player (living room). I haven't run the cable for the BluRay yet, but both computers are working very well. I'm using Cat 6 cables to 'future-proof' the system.

Plug and play, nothing to configure. Solid construction. I suppose it is worth a few extra bucks over the cheap plastic ones (this one has a metal case), it will probably run forever. Only downside is that the power port is on the back and the ethernet ports are on the front, but it's not a deal breaker. Also note that there is no way to turn off the flashing lights. Indicators show speed 10/100/1000 for each port.
