Questions & Answers

Is it possible to use all the ports simultaneously or you have to select one at a ?

There is no need to switch anything on a port that has something attached to it. The Linksys model I have is the same as another It has been a good experience for me.

What are the gaming capabilities of this system? What about my ping? Is it going to be affected a lot?

Playing at a constant rate will be possible with the standard switch (whether you have a dedicated or shared Internet connection). Rather than trying to go wireless, it is better to be hard-wired for gaming.

The rack needs to be mounted to the unit. Does the unit come with the mounting brackets?

You have to use the rack mount brackets that come with it.

The description is misleading
4/5

That program has never been used by me. It has just been returned to me. My only reason for docking a star is that the Amazon product description photos were inaccurate. In one of them, it indicates that it comes with rear Ethernet ports and front activity lights, which is what I wanted and thought it would come with. However, that is not the case. Ports as well as lights are situated in the front of the vehicle. The rack mount looks like more of an articulating arm. After a second glance at the amazon page, I saw that there was a photo of the actual configuration as well. Removing the photo that is misleading would be useful. With the setup I have on my desktop, this switch isn't compatible. A switch to my new phone does not seem to be a bad idea to me.

I thought I'd be getting rear Ethernet ports and front activity lights from the picture for this item
3/5

Please remove it from the website as it shows the incorrect product. A month ago, I bought one switch from this seller and had no problems with its functionality. It was the same seller that I ordered from two more times, and I got two completely different The switch settings for both switches are as follows A front port and a light are in sight. The rack mount looks like more of an articulating arm. If I mounted it in the closet, it would be very ugly because I wanted to mount it in the living room instead.

This is a great tool for productivity, not for desktops
3/5

According to its advertising, it is a "Desktop" switch. In order to make it work on a desktop, the LEDs must be on the front and the ports must be on the back. The situation here certainly does not fit this description. shows you pictures of both, but what you receive is the regular switch with the LEDs and ports on the same side it doesn't meet my needs well, but I can't complain too much since it still does the job. In addition to that, this switch feels heavy duty with its solid metal design, looks slick, and performs as advertised with high speeds and energy-saving capabilities.

I have tested it on 400'+ long LAN cables and it works perfectly Even so, it reaches 1 GB per second
5/5

I have tested it on 400'+ long LAN cables and it works perfectly One gigabit per second is still achieved The uplink takes maybe 10 seconds to initiate, unlike the Instant Trendnet Greens I was using, which started immediately upon plugging it As the power plug is a bit stiff and tight, it does not yet make it as convenient to plug and unplug it at will as the Trendnet Greens did, it would have been nice to have a button to quickly turn it off. Except for that, I would say it's one of the best laptops you can buy for this price! This excellent little item feels very solid, and it weighs a great deal for its size with its metal exterior.

Switch with a bright blue power indicator, compact, durable, and nice to hold
4/5

The switch is providing a second Ethernet port for my Nest router, since those come with just a single Ethernet port. It is a well-made switch that is of excellent quality and of an attractive design. I like how heavy metal is used in a small design, yet it is robust and long-lasting I definitely recommend. It was also larger, and, to be honest, it seemed bulkier than I anticipated. You don't have to do much to get started. Basically, all you need to do is connect the switch to your router. In the box, you will find some driver software. It doesn't make any sense to me why you have to download anything in order to use this. It is the blue power light that is the only reason for four stars. If the room is darker, the light is blinding. Above each Ethernet port are green networking lights that look nice and are easy on the eye. It is not clear why they made this power light so bright just to remind you it is Although it's a pretty shade of blue, dang, if there were a way to dim it or make it a little less dramatic. Is there any software available that can assist you with this task?
However, I do recommend you add the unmanaged switch to your network so that you can add more Ethernet ports, especially if you use the Google Nest or Google WiFi.

This Ethernet hub is a great fit for small networks
5/5

The Ethernet hub is a great little device. The device is configured to connect to the cable modem, then to a CAT6 cable that runs to the main PC and to WiFi routers elsewhere. Guests and other laptops are allowed to use the WiFi. I have a CAT6 connection which gives me about 150Mbps down and 60Mbps up, whereas my WiFi connection gives me around 30Mbps up and 30Mbps It is possible that the WiFi might slow due to 4 repeaters. It does not seem to make a difference which WiFi unit I use. The cost is low, and it.

It works great and is easy to set up! My new system didn't have any Ethernet connections when I went to plug it in to my router, not being a tech person I thought I had to get a new one
5/5

After doing some research online, I found that the solution was as simple as adding a switch. I decided to buy this one and hope it would work as well as all the reviews claimed. That was a good thing. It was a bummer that I had to purchase an Ethernet cord to connect to it, so that was a bit of a disappointment. It didn't take long for me to set up after I had the new Ethernet cable, it just required plugging in a few cords and I was up and running in no time. What a relief! This is a super easy and inexpensive way to increase the number of Ethernet connections.

There is a switch here
4/5

Considering that it's a switch, what else can you expect? According to the original photo when I purchased it, the ports were on the back, which I appreciated. Rather than what I expected, I received something totally different. I noticed that the photo had changed from the one I actually received when I visited the site again. It works (it's an unmanaged switch), but it could be terribly inconvenient Is there much you expect from this session? Since the ports would have better fit my desk setup if they were on the rear), I would rather have them on the rear.
