    Easy setup. Needed more ports for the modem to hook up other internet capable devices and this works great. No need to manage the device, but you can. I just went simple and plugged everything in.

    My home network uses a few of these around the house and I've never had any issues. Plug in a device and it's connected to the network. No surprises. Examples of connected devices are TV, cable boxes, TiVo, computer, printer, PS4.

    I bought this gigabit switch because I hated the black color of my old switch. This white one is small, and ascetically pleasing to the eye since it sits on my desk. Also, hard wiring all my devices makes everything run faster when streaming videos.

    Wanted something to connect more gigabyte devices to my network. It worked flawlessly out of the box. Love the light coding, amber for 10/100 connections and green for gigabyte connections. All auto sensing.

    The install directions make it seem a little difficult because it doesn’t actually say where to plug in your router or internet line into the switch. Watched a You Tube video, couldn’t have been any easier. There are 5 ports, plug your router into any of the ports and then plug in your devices into any of the 4 remaining and works perfectly. It’s an easy way to get a wired line to your smart tv in case your wifi isn’t strong enough to give a good signal.

    My new home has Ethernet wiring throughout. I needed a switch to expand from my cable modem to the outlets in the house. I haven't noticed any problems with connectivity or speed and the resulting hard wired connections are always better than WiFi.

    I have 1 Ethernet cable in my A/V closet, but 3 components. This switch allowed all my devices to be hardwired to the internet, with 2 slots for future use. Great price,(on sale) and simple, just plug and play.

    Does exactly what it says. Cheap cost, but great performance! I bought in-store at a local best buy. Easy setup as it's a simple plug and play. (Yes it's that simple). And for reference, my DL. speeds are over 150mhps, so it doesn't cap.

    After purchasing a home with Network, I needed a simple way to route main feed to several locations. The unit was small and easy to mount in Network Box. It was very simple to have up and running in no time.

    If you want to share an Ethernet connection, switches like these can be the perfect solution. At $25, this is a fantastic value for most folks. Compact, cool running, quiet, and pretty inexpensive - definitely five stars in my book

    If you need an ethernet switch I would recommend the one. It was easy to install and is working as I thought it would. It is an inexpensive way to add ports to your router. I am using mine with the new Google mesh router.
