    I needed a way to split my ethernet connection between 2 devices that are far from my router. This has been an excellent solution to that problem. Easy to use and it is plug and go. Essentially gives you 4 additional ethernet ports.

    This an excellent 5 port unmanaged router. Netgear has a great warranty too, also in my opinion you would never need it. Netgear equipment is built to last! Something like this is great for the network jack behind the TV multiple game consoles.

    Easy to expand home network to the far reaches of our house. Wired internet is much faster than wifi. Using this switch, I didn't have to stretch 4 cables across my house to hook up a computer, tv and blue-ray player to internet. Just one fifty foot cable.

    The NETGEAR - ProSafe 5-Port 10/100/1000 Mbps Gigabit Ethernet Switch was a great price and does exactly what I needed it for. I use to split my one internet connection to a bridged connection to my desktop PC and a weather station that is broadcasting 24 X 7. I have one port left for the future.

    Does what it is supposed to. Only thing that would've been neat was if the ethernet line to supply unit came in from the back and didn't take up a spot up front. But works good.

    We needed to replace our old switch and was shown this item. It's been a little over a month and so far working just fine. We bought 2 because we also replaced our Neatgear Nighthawk Router with the new Linksys Mesh and needed xtra ports. Best thing we have done in years.

    If you're in need of a reliable, well built and simple switch to enable additional wired connectivity of network devices, this should be your first choice. It isn't remotely manageable but that probably wouldn't be a consideration if you're simply expand your device port capability.

    Easy plug-n-play device to extend your wired connections. Just plug your existing, or run a new, cat5-cat6 ethernet line to one of the ports and your ready to plug in your new devices with no noticeable slowdown on this shared line. Netgear is quality you can trust.

    What can I say? This is an unmanaged switch that does exactly what I had intended which was to provide me with 4 ports in a location by only running 1 cat 6 Ethernet cable. This is a cost effective solution that you just install and forget, it worked flawlessly for me.
