    This is an excellent Ethernet switch. It is simple (in a good way). And the stylish blue color matches my Smurf themed room. I would gladly buy this item again.

    Works great. Not much to it. Plugged it in to Google Wi-Fi, plugged hard wired items in to the switch. Everything good. Took longer to get it out of the box than set up.

    Upgraded to the Google Mesh System. They only have one Ethernet port per device, so I decided to go with a switch in my office. Very easy to setup, no problems with network connectivity to multiple devices hardwire. Highly recommend.

    I had too many devices to hook into my router and not enough ports to hook them into. This device does the job. Plenty of ethernet ports and quality of my internet is not compromised. Got this on sale at Best Buy.

    It works great for my home. I do a lot of work from home and using an Ethernet switch has taken a lot of the load off my WiFi router and helped speed up internet throughout the house. It works great!

    Did more research and ended up going with very nice Netgear Nighthawk router for faster speeds and wifi capabilities. I originally wanted this to allow more ethernet wires from modem to plug into new next gen tv and consoles for best performance. Which led me down to eventually upgrading my modem to a next gen and getting a next gen router. Though if you're not needing all that then this is a great option to get more ethernet connections.
