Does exactly what it was advertised to do. Fast, reliable, works.

Solid product. This is the second one I’ve bought and they both work great.

This does the job of a network switch. Of that I have no complaints. For just under $20 you get a hunk of plastic that looks pretty sleek and expands your network by 7 ports (the eighth is really to connect to your router). Give it some power and start plugging your stuff in. Easy. The lights on each port are not obnoxiously bright like my cable modem which is nice, and I don't hear the hum or squeal some folks have noted in their reviews. If I put my ear directly on it I hear what resembles those noises but under normal circumstances being at least 2 feet away with other ambient noise in the room I do not hear it. My main issue is that it is way too light to stay in place, hence the loss of 1 star on this review. The weight of the 7 ethernet cords in the back make it pop a wheelie on my desk. Even 2 or 3 are enough to drag it off the desk. It would be helpful if they add $1 to the price and add rubber feet to the bottom. The bottom does have 4 small "feet" but they are just part of the molded plastic case. If they were rubber/rubberized then perhaps it wouldn't slide so much or at least you could put some weight on top and have it stay in place. But putting something on top takes away from the looks of it so...I could have gotten the metal version which may be heavy enough to stay put, and this one does have 2 keyhole slots on the back for hanging, both of which would have been fine for my desk at work, but with the sleek black look let's be honest, it's marketed for the home consumer. Who is going to mount this on their living room wall with cords hanging off it or want the bulky metal one on display? So, overall it does it's job and I don't regret purchasing it, I just wish it was a bit heavier so it would stay put.

As my requirements grew, this 1GB ethernet unmanaged switch its easy to install and works with everything you plug-in. Have had mine connecting several desktops and a NAS for years without problems.

I consider myself reasonably tech-savvy but anybody could hook this thing up. I never looked at the instructions. Unplugged my internet router, turned off the TV and computer (probably didn't even have to do that), plugged everything else I wanted wired into the switch (3 devices), and turned everything on. Perfection. Wireless unaffected. Even the infamously godawful, always-buffering LG Apps and Web OS appear to be functioning better than normal. 500 mbs sustained and sometimes faster speeds on the computer (I'm paying for 300). At this price this little switch is an outrageous deal. Another reviewer mentioned the lack of grippy "feet" on the very lightweight unit and that is somewhat of an issue. But at that price, and not having a premium piece of furniture underneath my stuff I had no problem sticking a couple of small pieces of two-sided tape on the bottom of the switch; problem solved for me.
