Linksys SE3008: 8-Port Gigabit Ethernet Unmanaged Switch, Computer Network, Auto-Sensing Ports Maximize Data Flow for up to 1,000 Mbps (Black, Blue)

I have 3 of se3008 for different areas of my house. when I ordered the last one it ended up being a version 2 ( I didnt see it anywhere in the post) the difference is the ports and lights are on the front instead of the back which I dont like at all. the v1 has the ports and power on the back and status lights on the front which made it cleaner for my application. the unit is still a great unit though.

Great quality and speed, and a brand that I trust. This switch is almost as fast copying from PC to PC as it is to copy large files from my SSD to my 2TB SATA hard drive on my PC - very fast and stable! This switch has some weight to it so it stays put, unlike some of the plastic garbage out there that only lasts a year or so before it breaks down. I use this switch as the backbone of our house network with 5+ computers right off the modem/router with no problems so far. I highly recommend it! Update: Six months after buying this switch it still has the great performance as before but I am having problems with Internet interruptions by my cable provider and the problem is I have to unplug and plug it back in to get it to work again after a disruption. This happens too much with my ISP so it has become unusable for me. So, if you have stable Internet provider like AT&T Uverse this switch works great but, if you have an unstable Internet service provider such as cable with this switch you may have the same problem as me. I now run my network directly of the cable modem but I have a D-Link model DGS-2208 8 Port Green Ethernet switch in one room that still runs perfect after seven months so I think D-Link is a better brand and Linksys may still have some great products but this one doesnt work for me anymore. I only took off one star for the problem I am having with this switch but, let the buyer beware.

I am a fairly picky user of network equipment, but I dont typically benchmark, troubleshoot, or configure anything unless it explicitly gives me trouble. This switch arrived is a nice box, I hooked it up in about 3 minutes, replacing an old TP-Link switch that had died, and I was in business. Im getting way faster speeds and lower ping times on all my devices than I was with the old switch. I havent had to look at, think about, or touch this switch since those initial three minutes. Who can ask for anything more in a piece of networking equipment?

I needed an Ethernet switch that had enough ports to connect my Linksys Velop Mesh router system, my Ring security system, and to hard connect my laptop via Ethernet for those Zoom calls where I wanted to ensure no wifi dropping. This switch works perfectly for all of that with ports still available. It’s small and easy to work with. I also ordered some short (1’) Ethernet cables to help with cord management since all of the units were close together. It’s been over a month and everything is working great with no issues.

Works as described. Wish the connections were in the back and lights in the front, but no big deal. Utility is more important than aesthetics.

Bought this to add to my Starlink service. I have all my routers connected to this unit. Works great.

This is a great little hub thats effortless to integrate. Just plug it into your modem or router port and youre good to go. Made of metal so its durable.

The switch works great. I get my full internet speed without any issues. (This is with multiple devices connected to the switch.) I am able to do file transfers from my workstation to my Ubuntu server running a samba share at full gigabit speed with no issues. I bought this as an extension to my network since my 10 gigabit switch had all its ports filled and connected this to devices that dont need anywhere near a 10 gig link to my servers. Up time is great I havent had to reboot it since it was installed 4 months ago. While I wish it had a management console like my Cisco gear this is a home grade switch and at this price point It makes sense that its plug and play and thats it. (This means vlans and other switching features on the switch are out of the question.) Its also metal and feels pretty well built.

I see many reviews complaining the ports are on the front and not the back, If those people new what they were buying the complaining would stop. This is a network switch that is designed to be used in a data center/ server room. Am surprised the complainers even bought it when the pics clearly show the ports on the opposite side of the power input. This switch work great and does what it is made to do.

I replaced an older version (same model number) with this one and immediately noticed a significant increase in Internet speed. Very pleased with it,.
