Noticeable difference in the speed of the network. Awesome.
So far so good... July 21, 2010

There isn't really much to say about a switch, it has one simple job and as long as it does it that's what counts (A switch for those who are not certain is easiest to explain by saying it is akin to a power strip, you can plug all the machines you want into to it, but if you don't plug it into a managed source of signal such as a router or server it is like expecting a surge strip to provide power and work when it is not plugged into an AC outlet). If you want to split one LAN Drop (Network plug in) at for example at your entertainment center and hook up your PS3, Cable/Satellite box, Internet ready TV, A/V receiver with internet radio, etc. This is for you because all a switch does is take the one IP address assigned to it by the host system and share it out over all devices connected to it (while they are turned on and seeking connection of course, it doesn't allot bandwidth to devices that are not currently asking for any).
Bottom line is this does the job so far and is well constructed, at this very moment unit has been plugged in for almost two weeks and is cool to the touch (I have it wall mounted behind my TV were it gets plenty of airflow) so time will tell but I have seen units like this in multiple brands at customer sites (I'm a network tech) work for years, if this one fails in an abnormally short time I will revise my review to reflect the time and details/circumstances of the failure.
 A Cheap Switch, No Surprises July 13, 2010
Kyle R. Hess (USA)
I purchased this switch originally for my home. Back when Xbox 360's came without a wireless card (FOR SHAME, MICROSOFT!), I needed a switch to run my tiny home network of a PC, laptop, PS3, and Xbox 360.
The switch works as advertised, great for home networks where you receive a residential internet connection <= 100 mb/s. However, if you're going to hook up a couple computers at school or work, you can get more out of a 10/100/1000 switch instead for a slightly higher investment. The major downside to trying to network with a switch directly from your ISP is that sometimes it can be complicated to assign IP addresses and DNS manually on an Xbox 360 or PS3. A router will automatically assign IP addresses, but a switch is an "unintelligent" device - it just passes the signal through.
Make sure that you're getting the right product for your network. If this is it, it won't fail you.
Only 4 usable ports June 28, 2010

This is advertised as a five port switch. However, one of the ports is used to connect to the modem. As a result, you are left with only four usable ports. I had another product previously that I replaced after three years. It was a five port switch but it had another port to connect the modem so it had five usable ports. This is what I thought I was buying based on the description. The device works fine and is a good product. If you need all five ports, you should get another product.
Good product for adding connections June 20, 2010

Works as advertised, plug and play. I will say it survived the drop test, accidentally dropped it about 3 feet onto concrete floor and works fine. Why get a half duplex hub when you can have the full duplex switch? After rebate this was $[...], can't beat that.
