    Bought this switch to extend my network. This is the easiest piece of equipment to install. Just plug it in, attach your network cables, and it works. Nothing too complicated here.

    This works great and I chose it due to the cheaper sale price. I don't know why you'd spend more than $17 on something else.

    When my old switch gave up the ghosts after many years I had to replace it fast. I picked up this 8-Port model at Best Buy, came home plugged it in and my video center was back in operation. Working great!

    Low cost solid performer. If you don't need a managed switch, this is a very good choice. Works flawlessly, low power and an inexpensive price.

    What's to go wrong with a switch? Plug it into the wall, plug other stuff into it, and more stuff sees the inter web! It's nice to have 8 additional Ethernet ports to expand the verizon Fios router which by design doesn't allow other routers to be plugged into it.

    I bought this switch to upgrade from a 100 mbps older sitch that I had and could bot be happier. It does an excellent job recognizing the different connections from different equipment and will give you the correct speeds for each one.

    No problems with this unit. Worked out of the bag. I had a problem with my home wiring, not the fault of the unit. Still had great functionality for what I could use it for.

    Needed a Ethernet switch but could not decide on what model to purchase. A Best Buy employee pointed out the differences in the various companies and what would best suit my needs with an easy install. Very pleased with the device, easy install and works great.
