    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.

    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.

    Due to a ransomware hit we needed to connect a few PCs near each other in a "war room" so we could get them up and running fast. This gave us that ability and we were able to get the company back in operation in no time.

    Needed to add a hub to the router to solve signal problems in the house by hard-wiring to the router. This works perfectly. Great price too.

    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.

    Having cut the cord from the local cable company, I needed extra Ethernet ports to add a couple of WDMyCloud drives plus a Roku and NVIDIA Shield to my router and this worked perfectly. The setup was really simple as well.

    Plugged in the power, connected the house rooter and this switch, connected this switch to my computer and 270Mbps down and 30 Mbps up instantly. Perfection - just as something as simple as this should be. Many thanks

    I had never used an ethernet switch before, but with multiple systems pulling from the internet via hard lines I decided to give one a chance, and this is perfect! Easy to install, and it helps direct my bandwidth to the system that needs it the most.

    This item was purchased off of the shelf in the store as it appeared to be exactly what I needed. It was priced appropriately and worked perfectly for me once I got it home. Nothing particularly remarkable about this item, just met my needs.

    I needed this ethernet switch to expand the number of ports from my Apple Time Machine router, which limits me to just three onboard Ethernet ports. I plugged it in - and it worked. It perfectly matches the Apple router with its white and aluminum trim colors.
