Having a hard wired connection makes many tasks faster for me versus using our wifi network

I needed a 10+ port, metal enclosed unmanaged device to power all the hard-wired ethernet jacks in my home

Say you have a 1080p MKV video file that is 32GB, on a hard wire connection between 2 gigabit computers it would take roughly 4 minutes and 16 seconds to transfer

Say you have a DVD rip that is 2.5GB, on a hard wire connection between 2 gigabit computers it would take roughly 20 seconds to transfer

Internet source to the switch was obviously hard wired with nothing between the switch and a BRAND NEW 30 day old modem out of the box
