    I needed more than the 4 outputs from my router for my home wired network. This gave me the extra ones I needed at a low price.

    The unit connected to my network with no problems. It is well built and the cables connect in the back leaving the front clear with connection status LEDs. The unit is light weight so if not mounted to wall it will tend to easily move/slide around.

    Needed a small switch to act as a junction between my router and the two Tivo boxes in my house (on different floors). Just plug it in and go, no worries!

    Eliminated Wi-Fi

    I wanted a hard wired ethernet connection to all the devices in my entertainment center cabinet. So, I bought this ethernet switch and some ethernet cables. I have fewer momentary signal drop-outs since connecting the switch. Previously, most of the items in my entertainment center were operated via the wi-fi signal. There's not much to it. Just plug in the ethernet cables and the power adapter. The switch is hidden behind my TV. This ethernet switch appears to use less power than some of the others I considered.
