    I've been using this with a powerline setup for about a month, and it has been rock solid. I have not needed to restart or anything. Looks attractive on my desk as well!

    Such a great upgrade at a good price. We changed from an old combo router/modem to separate units. The difference in performance has been amazing - not sure why we waited so long!

    I bought this to go along with my new Linksys router since there was only 1 port free on the router for hardwired devices. As any basic switch should be was plug and play and just works.

    Great to keep in backpack for times you just never know if you'll need a plug. Small enough to not take up to much room, and close to 500 mbps transfer speeds. Gigabit vs mega byte. You gotta make sure your looking at comparable specks.

    This is the switch that was recommended to us by our in-home consultant to best meet our needs. The product is small and can easily be concealed. Everything is working quickly after a few months of use.

    My home mesh network has a limited number of wired Ethernet ports on the parent node. Adding this switch allowed connection of up to 4 wired devices. This switch is the perfect solution.

    It's just a simple, unmanaged switch. It does the job. It worked really well for my Powerline Ethernet setup where I split the connection between two users.

    Hooked up four items with short cat 5 cables to the switch. This required only one long cat 5 cable to the router from the switch. Do not have to worry about poor wireless wi-fi signals with a direct connection.

    I added ports to U-Verse which only comes with four. I can use it in the future at no additional expense when I convert to Gigabit. Strategically located downstream from the U-Verse hub, I added the Roku for better than WiFi performance.

    My office's network switch fried in the middle of the day and we could do no work. Ran to Best Buy and picked up their smallest switch (this product). Swapped it in, no set up besides plugging in the network cables and turning it on. Works great.

    I needed some hard wired data to my basement and this switch was perfect. I can have all ports being used and I do not see any slowdown in data rates! Its also small and compact so I can hide it pretty easy!
