> 24 hourThis switch works well for the price. Sturdy metal case, mounts easily to the wall, no set-up hassles. EXCEPT - Netgear claims you dont need to use crossover cables with this device. This is not always true. I have 100 foot cable running from my office router to the living room where my home entertainment center resides. I have two devices that I want hardwired in there – an AppleTV and a TiVo box. I first hooked it up with the existing 100 foot cable from the office, and two short regular 3 foot cables to each device. No go. I got a couple of three-foot crossover cables from Amazon, and voila! It worked. Ethernet switches often need crossover cables. The crossover cables were only three dollars apiece. So I would have a couple at the ready, just in case your hook up doesnt work at first. Other switches I have used in the past always needed crossover cables. Use a regular cable from the PC or router to the switch, and crossover cables to each individual device. It may well be that this is dependent on your brand and type of router. But the fix is cheap and simple. So Ill give this switch 4 stars.

> 24 hourFor me this was very simple to install and set up. Basically just plug it in and plug in the Ethernet cables and it worked. There was no software that had to be installed and so it was about as simple as it gets for me at least.

> 24 hourWorks as advertised. Great addition when your wireless router does not have enough hard wired connections. I have two of these in my house connected to an airport extreme.
