    Simple and easy. Just plug in power, it works fine connecting a ethernet cable to 2 (what I needed). I have to reset it once after connection by removing power supply. Will be good if it comes with some simple reset button.

    I was in need of two additional Ethernet ports after putting my XFINITY modem/router in bridge mode and used my Airport Time Capsule for my router. Plugged in a couple devices that don't require excessive speed and are only used infrequently.

    I have a few extra things that needed the internet such as a Smartthings device, thermostat control device, camera device (these all allow me to see and control things on my iPhone) so I bought this at BestBuy and it allowed me to have lots of ports!

    These switches have almost become a commodity. Very simple and reliable. Buy one, plug it in, and it works. The design has been perfected for a long time. I have several in service with various clients, and they all work without any problems.

    This does the job, can't really ask for more from an ethernet switch. I haven't noticed any slowdowns or dropped connections when using this and transfer speeds between ethernet connected devices are extremely fast. The price was right on this too.

    Recently got rid of cable TV and needed more network connections to add TiVo and Roku by the TV. I just took it out of the box, powered it up and cabled to my devices. Everything came up and worked. Have used it now for several months with no problems.

    Best Buy was the only store or place I could find this item. It did exactly what it said it would and is perfect for me. I was trying to get internet access to 2 different pieces of equipment and had only one internet line run in my garage.

    This Modem is an exact replacement for a modem that got fried by a lightning induced strike. I had no issues with the modem - worked as expected. Maybe some day they will build electronic stuff that can withstand a lightning induced surge.

    I used this to hardwire an apple tv, a smart tv, and a digital media box. Since its a switch I don't see any slow down in speed like a hub. And the nice thing about this little machine is that it is gigabyte capable at a very reasonable price point.

    I've used the earlier version of the switch before and was pleased with their performance. This newer version is a little smaller but works just as well. Open the box, connect the cables, plug in the power and that's it. Can't get any simpler.
