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 several of these switches on my home network, they are very reliable, unless you have a surge from your electric company, I have had to replace two of them over the last Ten or so years. Not the switches problem. I would recommend these!

I went to go plug in a new system to my router and I realized I was out of Ethernet connections, being a total non tech person I thought I had to get a new router. I did some online research and found out that the solutions was as easy as adding a switch— so I bought this one and hoped it was as easy as everyone said it was. Thank goodness it was. I didn’t know that I needed to purchase an Ethernet cord in order to connect it, so that was a bummer....but once I got the new Ethernet cord the rest of the set up was as easy as plugging in a few cords and I was up and running. Whew! Super simple and inexpensive fix to needing more Ethernet hookups.

I buy Linksys because it does exactly as suppose to, with quality, proficiency, and cost.

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

Works like a Charm! Linksys 5port gateway is one of the best kinds out there to split your connection in half- even for gaming!

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 is not a router. It is merely a splitter. It did not work for me.

This switch does exactly what you want it to do. The only thing I dont like about it is the network connections are in the front and power goes in the back. I wish everything went into the back with the LEDs on the front. Thats my fault for not looking at it harder before I ordered it. Other than that it works exactly the way I want it to, so 5 stars is and easy rating for me.

I like how small it is you can see it in my picture is the small black box in the middle left and also how thin it is. Easy and fast to work. Good for its price, and also the lights are in the front where u connect the wires so u can always so if ones out or working

I dont unplug and replug from my computer or TV.
