I recently upgraded my home network setup with this Switch, and it has proven to be excellent. First and foremost, the setup was a breeze. It truly lives up to the "plug and play" promise, allowing me to have it up and running within minutes. The auto-negotiation feature ensures that it seamlessly connects at the highest possible speed, making the most of my network's capabilities. The gigabit Ethernet ports deliver lightning-fast data transfer rates, and I've noticed a significant improvement in my network's performance. Whether it's streaming, online gaming, or large file transfers, this switch handles it all with ease. I easily get the full speed with no issues. I have this on the 2nd floor and have several devices plugged into it and so far have not experienced any slowness or dropouts. The build quality is also solid, and the plastic case is durable. The switch's compact design is ideal for my space, and it does not look out of place among the other devices I have. I also appreciate the energy-saving feature, which helps reduce power consumption when ports are not in use. It's a thoughtful addition that aligns with my efforts to maintain an eco-friendly home. I highly recommend this network switch to anyone in need of a cost-effective and efficient solution to expand their network capabilities. It's a top-notch choice!

This small 5 port switch is perfect for expanding the number of ports available with a setup such as the TalkTalk essentials / Youview / TP-LINK TL-PA210 (200Mbps Powerline box) configuration; Purchased this for my Father-in-Law who is really impressed with the reliability and speed. My father-in-law had his TalkTalk essentials router (2 port / WiFi N class version) in an *upstairs* office location with a Desktop PC connected and the TP-LINK TL-PA210 IP over Powerline box (connected to his Youview box *downstairs*) - this fills the 2 available switch ports on the essentials router leaving nothing spare. Downstairs - his WiFi was not the best signal or reliable. Downstairs, he had his Youview box underneath his TV connected to the other (2nd) TL-PA210 - with no spare port capacity underneath his TV for anything else. When he asked me how best to connect his other devices, such as his Android TV (MXQ box) - this was the cheapest and most reliable solution. At best, his WiFi signal was poor in the downstairs location, so using a switch solved two problems. One - it gave him extra ethernet ports for expansion downstairs, and two - it solved the unreliable WiFi signal issues as we now use the Powerline (wired) connection. Easy peasy setup - a) remove the ethernet cable from the rear of the YouView and plug it into the first switch port #1 b) Connect a suitable ethernet cable CSL - 1m CAT.6 Flat Ethernet Gigabit Lan Network Cable (RJ45) | 10/100/1000Mbit/s | Patch cable / broadband cable | compatible with CAT.5 / CAT.5e / CAT.7 from the Youview box to the Port#2 on the switch. c) Connect another ethernet cable from MXQ box ethernet port to switch port #3.. We used the 1 Metre CSL flat cables as they are well made cables and just a nice length to keep the back of the TV spaghetti in check.

Trusted and Established Brand, great price, good performance and just works Needed to extend my home network and bough one of these. Powered up, plugged in the network cables and forgot about it There's a reason 3000 of these are sold a month and it has 12.5k+ positive reviews as it just works

The only thing that has puzzled me is the 'desktop' in the description, which I can only think is either a reference what they think the intended use is or a sort of abstract reference to the (very neat, small) form, which happily sits on a flat surface. Nothing else has puzzled me though... It's taken me longer to write this review than it has to unpack, power-up (hub and separate power supply) and connect in my network / patch cables. Configuration required? None Ease of setup? Couldn't have been easier, to be honest. I'm using this to provide additional (hard-wired) connections for TV, set-top boxes and PVR. With questionable Wi-Fi, having everything running through a network cable just made more sense; but rather than running multiple cables form the hub, this has allowed one 'tail' to go out to the living room, then split out connections from there. This is actually such a great value little product, I can see me looking to other installs where this will offer an equally neat installation.

Works great, metal construction and is silent, uses barely any power and is generally a great plug-and-play switch! Has 2 wall mounting keyholes on the back and also has mini activity/link LED's, so won't keep you up at night if kept in a bedroom, or be distracting if watching a movie.

Purchased as a replacement for an older, earlier model whose ports were failing. This model is much more compact - takes up less room in the enclosure. *Beware, though, the plug to transformer is a miserly 40cm - I needed to scavenge a long one from elsewhere. For that my score is really 4.5!

I don't know know how I didn't get one of these before. It's a must for anyone with multiple gadgets that need broadband. Easy to set up and use and it didn't break the bank.

Good switch with no problems. Been using it for many months without any issues at all.

Maybe I haven't been living in Europe long enough but when ordering for German delivery on the .de website I do not expect tp receive the product with a UK power plug. Will change it myself but disappointed. :-(

Works as intended. Able to split our Office LAN connections to more PC's

Das Produkt beinhaltet leider einen Stecker, der nicht für Deutschland (sond. USA) bestimmt ist. Hatte ein anderer Stecker (gleiches V-zahl) eingesetzt.

la verdad es muy pequeño pero funciona como debe con mi pequeña red interna, tengo 3 pc y una camara y distribuye correctamente el Internet entre todas las unidades y fue muy facil de instalar.

Attention Power Adaptater non prévu pour prise Francaise
