I bought this to use in my basement/family room to connect my media PC and Dish media box to a single Ethernet jack on the wall. Just connect the cables, power up the switch and everything just works. My home network currently only supports 100Mb, but this switch provides an upgrade path to 1Gb without requiring new hardware. The price was good too.

Simple 5 port unmanaged 1000 k switch. Needed it to handle a location where only one lan port is available and a desktop and two printers are located. I also have the 8 port version of this switch at another location in the office. If what is needed is an inexpensive unmanaged switch, the 5 or 8 port versions of this switch should handle the job.

Got this to hard wire XBox 360 to my network and internet. Easy to install and just what I needed to resolve connection issues with the XBox, which was previously had a wireless connection. More ports than I needed because BestBuy didn't have the model with fewer ports, but it doesn't hurt to have extra ports for future use if needed.

So easy to install and to use. I just had to plug in the ethernet cable to the device and another ethernet cable to my computer. No configuration necessary and it is super fast. Very happy with this purchase.

Can't say anything bad about it. It has worked flawlessly -
Plugged in and poof -additional access ports.
Price was right.
It looks nice and polished finished product unlike some others that are a bit more industrial looking.
I would purchase again if needed.

It does what it's supposed to do. No set up is needed at all. Tucks away very easily. Just plug your incoming ethernet in any of the ports. Plug up to 4 outgoing lines. Done. This is perfect for those who have multiple consoles/PCs where latency is critical.

My router developed a finicky port, would start developing errors and dropping connectivity. The Netgear router was a great price and worked right off the bat with no configuration. Good purchase!

Very easy to set up and use. Ran a 30 ft Ethernet cord to my room and connected it to this switch. From there, I have 4 devices connected to it and they all get great speed from this switch.

Bought this as I needed more ports to connect all the cables to the back of my new modem I got from Comcast. The new modem didn’t have have enough ports on the back to run all of my equipment. The only problem I had was hooking it up as I needed another cable to connect it to the back of my modem and to the new NETGEAR. Otherwise there wasn’t any other way to use it. However, the salesman assured me that was all I needed. Not true! I’m glad I had an extra cable to make it work.

I have had this switch for almost a year now and I am really impressed with how well it works. It does not do anything particularly special, but it definitely works as advertised. I have not had any issues at all with this thing and I am pretty happy with the purchase, considering it was only $17

Purchased this at my local Best Buy after my Gateway media center went bad. My old one had 4 ether net ports but the new one that was installed by my cable company had only 2 port access. Found good reviews on line, and with this I was able to hook up all my ether net connections. Easy install and works perfectly

I purchased this based on the recommendation of the Best Buy employee. I told him what I needed and he was spot on with his recommendation, this is a great product both in ease of installation and value for what you get. I found it to be quite reliable as well. I currently use it in commercial use. Definitely recommend it!!

Good for Adding Ports To Your Router

Due to circumstances beyond my control, I've been forced to convert most of my wireless network to wired. I ran out of ports on my router, and added this to get me more wired ports.
It's simple enough to use. Just hook this up to a port on your router, connect the power, and you can add an additional 4 devices to your router.
If you're running out of ports on your router, just get this and be done with it.

Simple straightforward installation. Possibly a little slight on instructions, but simple enough for even non network savvy folk to install. Great way to expand a standard 4 port router to accommodate additional networked hardware. Easily accommodating my PS4, TiVo, and smart tv without.noticeably impacting network performance.
