      We needed more than 4 ports for our office network and this is one of the few hubs that has 8 ports. We got the first one about 10 years ago and finally had to replace it with another of the same model from Linksys.

            I had the smaller 5 port unit but one of the ports did not work when they were all in use. Difficult to find the issue and resolve even with the online help so I tried again with the 8 port. This one works great with no issues.

              Will this extend the range of my router? My wireless signal is very weak downstairs

              • A:

                This Ethernet switch has no wireless features. It is for a wired network. You need to look into purchasing a WiFi range extender. A range extender can compensate for poor signal strength in locations that your WiFi router does not reach.

                A:

                Yes workgroup switches allow data sharing between computers and other device'es. Routers are generally used to share internet connections between computers and modem to router
                (usually wireless) to workgroup switch box. It depends on how many ports you need. Most routers will have at lease 4 ports and 1 USB for storage,I wood install a 4 port workgroup switch just to have extra free ports. I hope I was able to answer your question.
