Excellent product. I also have two eight port switches of the same design This five port switch is nice for a room application or a small network. Integration was fast and seemless.

Comments about Linksys 5-Port Gigabit® Switch:

Upgraded home network to giga speed internally to decrease time it takes to backup each machine. Found that most new computers have gigabit NICs, just needed to isolate them from the 10/100 router with giga switches.

I am a computer consultant and the item is small enough to carry in my toolbag when I visit my customers. I have used it mainly to build temporary ad hoc small networks which are mainly used to transfer data between two computers during installation.
