Linksys SE3008: 8-Port Gigabit Ethernet Unmanaged Switch, Computer Network, Auto-Sensing Ports Maximize Data Flow for up to 1,000 Mbps (Black, Blue)

Quality product. Must have for the Linksys velop node system.

Better than expected. I was skeptical about buying “new, open box “ but it was “ new”. Worked right out of the box. No problems. Very happy!

I purchased this unmanaged switch for my Google Nest router, since you only get a single Ethernet port with those. The switch itself is of great quality and looks nice. I love the heavier metal used in such a compact thing, that has a robust and durable feel. I was also expecting it to be larger and bulkier honestly. It is very easy to set up. Just plug the switch into your router and you’re good to go. It comes with some driver software in the box. Not really sure why you’d need to download anything to use this however. Only reason for four stars is the blue power light. It is blindingly bright in a darker room. The green networking lights above each Ethernet port are nice and subtle and easy on the eyes. Don’t know why they made this power light so bright just to let you know it’s turned on. It’s a pretty blue, but dang, if only there was a way to turn it down and it wasn’t so bright. Perhaps you can do this with the software provided? Nevertheless, I do recommend this unmanaged switch for adding more Ethernet ports to your network, especially for us Google Nest and Google WiFi users.

I was a big fan of Linsys gear until they were absorbed by Cisco. I ended up trashing everything but some 8 port hubs that were really good. I updated my routers (Linksys that work very well but have their own design issues) and wanted to update my hubs as well. I have both 5 port and 8 port versions. These are metal which makes them feel more substantial somehow. Linksys made the connection lights different colors to reflect port connection speed... a nice touch. If i could see the lights, that is. They are also wall mount which is a must for me. But the Cisco thinking shows up in the implementation. The unit cant decide if it is a consumer or business product. For starters, the power connection is opposite the ports. Well, ok. Now I had to decide if i reroute some of my cables or the power connections. Would have been an easy choice but the DC plug is not a right angle... its straight which means it sticks out and will be in the way. I decided to forgo looking at the status lights so I didnt have to do gymnastics with my cables and mounted it in a way that something probably wont snag the power connection and kill the ports. Would be nice if Linksys included a template... Next the power block has the prongs inline with the long side. Um, kinda blocks multiple outlets unless you are using a power strip with the outlets turned 90 degrees. Or you happen to have an outlet at the end of your surge protector. Not well though out. I ended up getting some short ext cords. All in all a decent little unit. But it has some (in my opinion) serious design/usability deficiencies.

Great quality and speed, and a brand that I trust. This switch is almost as fast copying from PC to PC as it is to copy large files from my SSD to my 2TB SATA hard drive on my PC - very fast and stable! This switch has some weight to it so it stays put, unlike some of the plastic garbage out there that only lasts a year or so before it breaks down. I use this switch as the backbone of our house network with 5+ computers right off the modem/router with no problems so far. I highly recommend it! Update: Six months after buying this switch it still has the great performance as before but I am having problems with Internet interruptions by my cable provider and the problem is I have to unplug and plug it back in to get it to work again after a disruption. This happens too much with my ISP so it has become unusable for me. So, if you have stable Internet provider like AT&T Uverse this switch works great but, if you have an unstable Internet service provider such as cable with this switch you may have the same problem as me. I now run my network directly of the cable modem but I have a D-Link model DGS-2208 8 Port Green Ethernet switch in one room that still runs perfect after seven months so I think D-Link is a better brand and Linksys may still have some great products but this one doesnt work for me anymore. I only took off one star for the problem I am having with this switch but, let the buyer beware.

I buy Linksys because it does exactly as suppose to, with quality, proficiency, and cost.

After upgrading a bunch of equipment and my internet provider, I realized my old cheap switch was cheating some wired devices out of my networks newfound speed. I considered doing hours of research to find the perfect replacement, then I gave up and went to the Apple website store and found out they were selling this exact switch and a few others from Linksys. Bought it, installed it, and now all my wired equipment is blazing fast again. Installing this is dead simple: plug it into your router, plug your devices into it, and give it AC power. I didnt even have to power-cycle my cable modem or router. This switch does have some additional nice features, but my main need was simply additional ports with enough speed to match what Im paying for. With this switch in place, I was able to get several computers, gaming consoles, and streaming boxes off my wireless network; now both wired and wireless devices have improved performance.

I like the size, layout, and changing color LEDs conditioned by the nature of the data flow. Unfortunately it is now unavailable ... May be a Covid-19 collateral damage ?

This switch works great.

Works exactly as it should. Simple Plug-and-Play. Could not be any simpler! Now have my entrainment center hard wired. And a free/empty port to plug in another something. No more lag in gaming and watching movies on smart TV. Even being used at the same time.
