Nice features for a reasonable price. Simple plug & play, nothing needs to be set, perfect "unmanaged" type switch for home networks. Seems to work quite well, displays different color lights when they sense my gigabit devices (all run at full speed with this switch), backward compatability to lower LAN speeds so also works just fine with my slower devices. Low energy consumption, handy keyhole slots for wall mount.
8 ports seems to be the right number for home setups. Not many people would ever need more than eight in the same area... four port setups will likely leave you wishing for more in the not-so-near future, the price difference is minimal. BUT... if all you need it for is to add a couple ports in the same area as your existing 4 port router, then the 4 port model would make more sense for you.
I'm using this as a distribution point for my various downstairs home theater devices + a laptop in the same area. Router/office is upstairs on the other side of the house. Previously depended on wireless connections downstairs, but even with a good dual band AC wireless router things sometimes dropped connections or ran slow, now with a hard wired LAN connection via this switch those problems have been resolved. And now there's more wireless bandwith left for things like Amazon Echo's/Dot's and home automation devices. If your device can operate via both wireless and LAN, you will almost always get faster and more reliable performance using the wired LAN connection..
First one sent to me was obviously someone else's return (grrrr), some of the factory packaging was absent, so the switch and power supply went through the mail slamming against each other. Returned for replacement without ever using it, the replacement arrived quickly, was correct with shrink wrap on the outside and the rest was in place inside as it should be to prevent shipping damage.

Got a bad one! 5V short to case - Be sure to ground
I don't want to leave too low of stars since this is a fluke issue. I wouldn't imagine there would be a test procedure for this during QA. That said, one of the ports shielding has a 5V potential.Images show 4V but it's 5V (I was the ground path there - body resistance - oh, so smart!)Otherwise it does what you would expect. Plug your router into one port, plug all your devices into another. It just works.It's a dumb switch. Plug in and play.It's a gigabit switch, so if you have up/down speeds up to 1000mbps, this will allow you those speeds.Case is wall mountable without needing to attach more hardware.There is a grounding lug on the rear. Use it. Low voltage communication equipment should always be grounded.This smart lady did not. Maybe her arm would not have gone numb from holding a shielded cable end had she grounded the equipment. Then again.. Would not have discovered the short.Return window is closed, had it for two months and just reached that port with the addition of another device. Will disassemble and add images to show cause.Ordering a new one because at this price, and that it does what it advertises, it's a great buy.
