TP-LINK 5 port TL-SG1005D 5 port Gigabit Desktop Switch Switch 5 x 10/100/1000 desktop

Perfect purchase to help connect home computer to router. I was losing over 100 mbps using WiFi. It was at 50mbps for downloading and after connecting 7a and 8 a ethernet cables the home computer is up to 179 mbps download speed

I was looking for a device to add more Ethernet ports to my router and found this device at less than $20. It is much cheaper than similar devices I found. All I had to do was connect this device to my router and connect my devices to the TP-Link device. The devices immediately had access to the Internet. No configuration or setup required.

This is a basic unmanaged network switch. It is very simple to setup and use; only plug-and-play. I was able to expand my home network by five ports and absolutely no complains. Its does exactly what it was designed to do and it does it well. For the price, it doesn't get any simpler than this switch to expand a small/home network with an existing router.

Almost every motherboard out there comes with a gigabit Ethernet port (or two). If you will be sharing files or doing backups over your network, a switch like this one is definitely the way to go. You probably won't reach all the way up to gigabit speed, but you will definitely see an improvement over a 100Mbps switch. If you have gaming consoles or music streaming devices on your network, you can bridge this one with a cheap 100Mbps one for those slower devices and keep these ports open for your computers that can use the bandwidth.

First let me say that the site to store process has been smooth on this and other purchases I have made through Walmart. That said; This replaced an older, slower standard netgear switch. The gigabit switch does aid in faster response through my network and shows no restrictions including a magic jack VOIP that is in one of the ports. I am very happy with this product.

Recommended by my Google AI to connect all my devices at last!

plug n play super easy set up tbh

My place has wireless, but only one (ethernet) wired outlet. Have Magic Jack (VoIP) on a cordless phone and desktop PC so needed to share outlet. Installed the ethernet switch and the phone reception is very clear, and response time on my PC is faster than before. Switch is lterally plug and play. Don't even bother to look at the instruction sheet!

Plug in and use. No configuration.

The only thing I didn't like about this is a couple of times it lost its connection. Then you'd have to bring it into the area where the original was set up and reset it up.
