The Linksys SE2800 ($74.99 list) is an 8-port Gigabit Ethernet Switch that comes with a wired connection speed of up to 1,000Mbps and power saving features. This Cisco Systems product sports plug and play operability and more.

This unit is ideal for SMB or home use. I realize that most home useres don't need an 8 port switch, but by the time I hooked up all my PC's, Access points (large house), and my NAS I was long since out of ports.

This switch is finicky and requires frequent restarts/resets to work as it should for a few days. Have removed it from service. This my 3rd one. The first one worked flawlessly for almost 4 years. Second died in about one year. It required several resets.

Original wireless router on the ground floor, with a laptop in a room on the second floor which was only showing two bars and the connection kept dropping. Bought this and put it in a room on the first floor, now the laptop shows five bars (needless to say the connection doesn't drop).

Plug and play. So simple, no effort involved. Usally this type of product is a struggle. This was simple. Recommended.

Easily Expanded; Easy To Set Up; Fast; Reliable; Small

This is truly a plug and play switch. However, instead of calling it an 8-Port, I think it should be called a 7-Port as one of the ports has to be used for the incoming Ethernet so you actually have 7 ports available. But this switch has worked flawlessly on all 7 available ports.

I bought this to replace my old Cisco switch to help eliminate the network bottleneck on my DSL Modem. I am happy to report and my network perform better and I am really happy ..

This switch is definitely faster my prints sent to printer does not take as long even when the job is large. It was also easy to install.

Super easy install. No trouble with signal strength. I recommend this unit very highly.

I haven't had any issues whatsoever with this switch. I get blazing fast Gb speeds, as expected, and haven't had to really do anything with it whatsoever since I installed it in my network. I did restart it once, but later found the problem was in the router.

Reasonable price; Nothing really to set up (just plug it in, basically); It works
