    • So I found this lovely device and thought well why not
    • The Device worked decently when i first got it
    • Very good device
    • This device works perfectly.
    • If u have the scenario as me, I highly recommend this device for all of ur device need to access to internet.
    • Device doesn't get warm either
    • Which means as soon as you plug it in, your network starts crashing randomly as packets are being routed to the wrong device
    • I wanted all of the jacks in my house to be active so this wonderful device has come in handy
    • Good device, but the set-up wasn't the easiest
    • The 2nd issue I had with this switch is that I had issues getting devices to work for instance my laptop or my desk phone will not get any Internet connection, yet if I un plug from the switch and plug into my router they work
    • I purchased this product December 2 it’s already experiencing intermittent issues dropping all devices
    • It supports all network activity and cabled devices perfectly.
    • A bit more: an unmanaged device like this is great to expand each drop of a managed switch/router.
    • I also lost my hardwired devices such as the PS4 that I literally had just plugged in
    • So to summarize, the device stopped working properly
    • Upgraded from a 10Mb router (which still works) to support upgraded, faster devices.
    • Great device
    • This little devices is great if you need extra ports for hardwired devices
    • After a few minutes, all my wireless devices no longer worked.
    • I prefer to use hardwired connections for all my non-portable network devices.
    • I needed more ports to keep all my smart home devices on the same network (I have some on Google mesh and some straight on my ISP WiFi).
    • Solid device, works great!
    • but I could not get the VLAN to work on my second switch in a media cabinet where I wanted to isolate some IoT devices from my primary network.
    • this device works flawlessly..
    • Thru trail and error, I found that before splitting out, to connect to the router / internet provider's line first, since this device will get confused and I would experience connectivity issues
    • Stable device
    • It is like many of the SOHO devices out there, users need inexpensive or low budget ways purchase a device to perform a task, and the company just a poor because "SOHO uses won't know the difference"The only reason I purchased this was the form factor, for a few dollars more you could even get a device made to go in a "machine room", just louder and higher speed backplane
    • It look like if you isolate the device you can change it to another IP, or to DHCP... then just wait around for it to reset to default some day and crash your network again
    • Device works well.
    • I had 4 devices to attach and this worked perfectly.
    • Perfect device and very well made
    • Does exactly what we need to support multiple network devices using one network drop.
    • Great little switch to get your SOHO VLANs routing and segmented with other compatible networked devices.
    • So far it has killed 3 devices that were plugged into it
    • Those allowed me connect all the devices I wanted hard wired and it works great
    • Nice, solid device
    • So in conclusion I would not recommend this device to anyone.
    • Kept thinking it was multicasting on my network from all "smart" devices causing this
    • They're very light weight, but made of sturdy metal so you can feel the quality of the build and how cold the device is without needing any fans
    • Furthermore, if the router breaks down, this device will not work either
    • This device works well and has some neat configuration settings
    • You can plug other devices but it slows down the internet signal
    • Nothing to say besides s great buy fors simple effective device.
    • This is a great device to split the ethernet across those different devices in each room
    • Easy to setup -- just plug in the source and then plug in all the ethernet cables that go to the smart devices
    • Plug a device in and it just works, which is expected or its returned.
    • This is a great and easy device for you if you need a better and stable internet connection.
    • This device is AMAZING, especially for the price
    • Fantastic little device
    • This device is broken
    • The Device itself worked great however the customer service is terrible
    • Also, as soon as I connect this box to the network it also makes all the wireless devices stop working.
    • I prefer industrial devices over "all plastic" cosmetic switches
    • What are the odds received 2 devices have the same problem
    • So I have one of these hubs located at each of my internet-enabled TVs where there's also other smart devices such as TiVos, Bluray players, and streaming devices like Roku
    • My 4K devices are happier!
    • This device is great except that as a device that supports vlan management, it sucks
    • Therfor not knowing what your device or how fast your device is transferring dataSo Far So Good, Seems to be working
    • The promise was a great one small and smart device with an attractive price tag
    • I've got good Ethernet usability & devices are working normally
    • This was about as easy as can be to install and to use...linked right up to my main router, and had no trouble accommodating my devices
    • Love the devices that work
    • I am recommending this switch for those who are looking to expand their home network on a budget with a good, simple to use, low priced, good quality device.
    • It's a great little device.
    • Using in my entertainment center to connect all my smart devices to the internet
    • Solid device, works great!
    • Automatically configured I/O and speed for all ports and seems to support gigabit-capable devices just fine
    • Just do not expect advanced configurability because this is not the right device for that
    • This device can also hang vertically, upside
    • I didn't have time to chat at the moment, so I used their e-mail support option.
    • The only positive I have to review on is that the switch seems to have a quality build to it
    • I didn't have time to chat at the moment, so I used their e-mail support option.
