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

They work great and replace the ones that lightning took out.

After upgrading a bunch of equipment and my internet provider, I realized my old cheap switch was cheating some wired devices out of my networks newfound speed. I considered doing hours of research to find the perfect replacement, then I gave up and went to the Apple website store and found out they were selling this exact switch and a few others from Linksys. Bought it, installed it, and now all my wired equipment is blazing fast again. Installing this is dead simple: plug it into your router, plug your devices into it, and give it AC power. I didnt even have to power-cycle my cable modem or router. This switch does have some additional nice features, but my main need was simply additional ports with enough speed to match what Im paying for. With this switch in place, I was able to get several computers, gaming consoles, and streaming boxes off my wireless network; now both wired and wireless devices have improved performance.

This unit is made very well and works great!!!

I got this because even though my wifi works well, its nice to have some things hardwired. When I switched to a mesh wifi, I lost all the spaces my old router had for ethernet. This solves that problem. Came as described and plugged right in.

Just the perfect thing to update my Cisco Linksys router. I just plugged it up in place of my old E2500 unit, and it worked perfectly w/o a bunch of code-entering. This should have been possible years ago. It allows signal strengths over 100 Mbps to pass through to your connected units. No one tells us that the old routers were limited to 100 Mbps, so unless someone verbally tips you off or youre on some special program to keep you abreast of new products and how they solve old problems, youre out in the cold. This type of unit is call an unmanaged system, whereas the older Linksys I have is a magaged one (meaning, I suppose that you have enter all the code choices in the setup so that it will work properly). Until the unmanaged ones came out, weve been in the dark ages of internet connections. Your kids wont ever have this miserable history of experiences and costly visits from your IT guy(s) at home.

Just want I needed a network switch to connect several computers in my office to the Gigabyte LAN. Good quality name.

The hub worked perfectly.

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.

I was a big fan of Linsys gear until they were absorbed by Cisco. I ended up trashing everything but some 8 port hubs that were really good. I updated my routers (Linksys that work very well but have their own design issues) and wanted to update my hubs as well. I have both 5 port and 8 port versions. These are metal which makes them feel more substantial somehow. Linksys made the connection lights different colors to reflect port connection speed... a nice touch. If i could see the lights, that is. They are also wall mount which is a must for me. But the Cisco thinking shows up in the implementation. The unit cant decide if it is a consumer or business product. For starters, the power connection is opposite the ports. Well, ok. Now I had to decide if i reroute some of my cables or the power connections. Would have been an easy choice but the DC plug is not a right angle... its straight which means it sticks out and will be in the way. I decided to forgo looking at the status lights so I didnt have to do gymnastics with my cables and mounted it in a way that something probably wont snag the power connection and kill the ports. Would be nice if Linksys included a template... Next the power block has the prongs inline with the long side. Um, kinda blocks multiple outlets unless you are using a power strip with the outlets turned 90 degrees. Or you happen to have an outlet at the end of your surge protector. Not well though out. I ended up getting some short ext cords. All in all a decent little unit. But it has some (in my opinion) serious design/usability deficiencies.

Opened box, plugged power cord in, plugged Cat5 cables, worked immediately.
