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

I got this because even though my wifi works well, its nice to have some things hardwired. When I switched to a mesh wifi, I lost all the spaces my old router had for ethernet. This solves that problem. Came as described and plugged right in.

I used to use my old routers as switches thinking it was the same as using an unmanaged switch...oh I was wrong. I am using my 2 switches with my two towers

This unit is made very well and works great!!!

It worked right out of the box as it should. This is meant to be a plug and play hub expander.

This switch replaced a very old but still functioning Linksys 10/100 switch that was plugged into my new gigabyte 4 port router. The slower switch was slowing down the router ports so I decided to upgrade the switch to the same speed switch. I plugged my slower devices into the switch, an Ooma telephone system and a Cisco power line adapter that feeds a wireless access point for my 3 Roku streaming video units. The SE3005 has automatic priority for streaming devices (good) but did not recognize the power line connection as streaming and slowed down all my Rokus to the same speed as my Ooma internet telephone (not good). I switched the power line adapter back to the main router and the problem went away.

Just want I needed a network switch to connect several computers in my office to the Gigabyte LAN. Good quality name.

Bought from Amazon. Hooked up the unit, connected a cable to each ports, all the ports, except port 2 did not light up. Called Linkys @ 1-877-855-6899, option Small/Medium Business Department. After getting preliminary information on the switch, we walked through and tested the unit over the phone. Linksys determined a replacement unit will be sent. All was handled in that one phone call. Representatives I spoke with were courteous, genuinely understood my needs and strived to resolve. Hope you will not have any issues with your unit; however, if you do, outlined above was my experience.

I tried to set up a wired network in my house with a router, the problem was that I was connecting it to a wireless router as well and even when I turned off router functionality it created problems for me. Once I did a little research, I found the best way to fix my problems was to find a switch and set it up as part of my network. Everything works great now. My set up is as follows: Cable modem -> Airport Extreme -> Linksys 8-Port Switch -> home distribution Having the router in between the modem and the switch was the key to getting this set up properly

Works great on 400+ foot long lan cables-still reaches 1gbps; Takes 10 seconds or so to initiate an uplink unlike the Trendnet Greens I was using which was instant, soon as it was plugged in. Power plugin is a little stiff and tight so its not nearly as easy and convenient to plug and unplug at will like the Trendnet Greens, would have been nice to have a button to turn it off quickly. Other than that Id say its probably one of the best you can find for the money! Great little item, feels incredibly solid, with its all metal exterior, and feels very heavy for its size.

This is my second 8 port switch from Linksys. I have daisy chained it to my first 8 port Linksys and have several devices now operating off my Spectrum Router. Works good and is well made.
