    I’ve bought two of this item. First one was a year ago making addition ports available for my entertainment system. Works well that I bought a second for computer hook ups.

    It is hard to make much of a review for a simple piece of equipment whose only function is to get info where you want it and for you never to know it is there. I guess this product does that well. No problems at all.

    Fine Five Port Switch

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    This switch replaced another one that failed after a series of three or four electric power glitches over a period of a couple of days. One disadvantage of a "smart grid" is that momentary power outages are more frequent while longer duration ones are prevented. I needed a replacement switch on short notice for my home network. As it turned out, the manufacturer of the first switch replaced it under warranty. Since I currently have 6 Ethernet jacks in the house, I reinstalled the 8 port switch when it arrived. To prevent further problems due to power glitches, I've put the switch as well as my wireless router on a battery backup/UPS. Although it was only used for a couple of weeks, this Netgear 5 port switch worked fine.

    I use this switch to run my Xbox, PS4, and PC and experience no drop in internet speed while running all three, if you are short on ports this is a great option.

    I needed this in order to provide more ports for my LinkSys router. This worked the first time without any issues. Speed is great, and the small size works well with my desk layout.

    This is an easy "plug-n-play" type switch. If all you need is extra ports get this one...works great...if you need/or want to manage specific settings get a more expensive switch

    It was a real life savor due to the fact my router was filled up and I didn't want to add another one. Then the guy at the counter told me about the adapter. It's wonderful and so easy to install / hook-up

    Since it’s “unmanaged” it works well with the eero, I just had to get the sequence correct: modem, eero, switch then all the other wires. It’s simple and works. Perfect.
