    Had to change cable modem, the new one had only two outputs and I use 3-4 so purchased this to meet the need. Was easy to hook up and set up and have had no issues with it todate

    The router provided by my cable provider only contained 4 slots, with home phone, printers, satellite, and home computers I just needed more space. This product is easy to use and provided the extra space I needed.

    Works as advertised. Lightweight and compact. Not difficult to set up but you will need your own Ethernet cable as it is not included

    With my home network, I am limited on the number Ethernet ports I have in my router. This box quickly and easily added more ports for other smart home items I have purchased. I did not add any streaming items to this, so I cannot speak of how much it would slow things down. My smart home items work as effectively as they did before being through the switch.

    This product enabled me to obtain additional ports to support products such as Hue and Sonos. The product did exactly what I wanted it to do, and it did so for a very reasonable price.

    Good performance, but feels cheap

    This is a basic Ntetgear switch -- use it when you need to "multiply" Ethernet ports. In my case, I needed to join multiple devices to a network extender, and this fit the bill. Pros: Not too expensive, minimal setup, does what it claims. Cons: Feels cheaply made -- nothing but plastic. The snow-white color seems to attract dirt and, after a month, has become slightly discolored.

    Easy to use. Connected all my mess of wires into a neat mess of wires. More ports let me connect everything in one place hidden away from sight.

    This switch is a must have wen you do not have sufficient ports. I have many items that I like to connect directly to internet instead of using wireless and this device is great. The size is perfect.

    I paired this with the Google WiFi and it works great! I got it on sale as well. You can't really beat the performance from this little switch. I do like the small footprint from it.

    The switch performed flawlessly. I needed more ports since my router, like most others, come with only four. Powered up and connected my ethernet cables and was online with all my devices.

    It turned out when I got home I didn't really need this but I just had to keep it anyway because when I did use it it work perfectly and the price was not so high that it's better to keep it around whenever so when I need it I've got it and since it's a product I bought from Best Buy I know it won't just be obsolete in a year or two
