Linksys SE3008: 8-Port Gigabit Ethernet Unmanaged Switch, Computer Network, Auto-Sensing Ports Maximize Data Flow for up to 1,000 Mbps (Black, Blue)

Did exactly what we needed. Ran a long ethernet cord through the yard from the router inside and connected it to this for internet in our outside office. Works great!

Had lightning wipe my other linksys gigabit switches out so I replaced them with this version. The speed tests out just fine as does the auto hand shake with the router. With all ports full and active and a variety of streaming, gaming and surfing active in this house I have No complaints. This unit is also smaller than the SE2800 it replaced and operates much cooler. Lights are simple blue power and ports green when connected on the front but not bright enough to bother me on my desk and visible under my router which I prefer to the old unit.

Great quality and speed, and a brand that I trust. This switch is almost as fast copying from PC to PC as it is to copy large files from my SSD to my 2TB SATA hard drive on my PC - very fast and stable! This switch has some weight to it so it stays put, unlike some of the plastic garbage out there that only lasts a year or so before it breaks down. I use this switch as the backbone of our house network with 5+ computers right off the modem/router with no problems so far. I highly recommend it! Update: Six months after buying this switch it still has the great performance as before but I am having problems with Internet interruptions by my cable provider and the problem is I have to unplug and plug it back in to get it to work again after a disruption. This happens too much with my ISP so it has become unusable for me. So, if you have stable Internet provider like AT&T Uverse this switch works great but, if you have an unstable Internet service provider such as cable with this switch you may have the same problem as me. I now run my network directly of the cable modem but I have a D-Link model DGS-2208 8 Port Green Ethernet switch in one room that still runs perfect after seven months so I think D-Link is a better brand and Linksys may still have some great products but this one doesnt work for me anymore. I only took off one star for the problem I am having with this switch but, let the buyer beware.

They work great and replace the ones that lightning took out.

Great product for extending your wired system…you do lose a little bandwidth, but still better if Wi-Fi isn’t strong

I see many reviews complaining the ports are on the front and not the back, If those people new what they were buying the complaining would stop. This is a network switch that is designed to be used in a data center/ server room. Am surprised the complainers even bought it when the pics clearly show the ports on the opposite side of the power input. This switch work great and does what it is made to do.

I have 3 of se3008 for different areas of my house. when I ordered the last one it ended up being a version 2 ( I didnt see it anywhere in the post) the difference is the ports and lights are on the front instead of the back which I dont like at all. the v1 has the ports and power on the back and status lights on the front which made it cleaner for my application. the unit is still a great unit though.

i never used one of these before and wanted to hard wire more things then my router would handle and also move my router away from my tv and gaming stuff.. i will just say one thing its awesome anyone could set it this its so easy , looks awesome and works awesome get one you will love it i have my pc ,xbox1,ps4,stereo ,tv,media-player and dish network all hooked up speeds are as fast as they were before and seems faster even

After upgrading a bunch of equipment and my internet provider, I realized my old cheap switch was cheating some wired devices out of my networks newfound speed. I considered doing hours of research to find the perfect replacement, then I gave up and went to the Apple website store and found out they were selling this exact switch and a few others from Linksys. Bought it, installed it, and now all my wired equipment is blazing fast again. Installing this is dead simple: plug it into your router, plug your devices into it, and give it AC power. I didnt even have to power-cycle my cable modem or router. This switch does have some additional nice features, but my main need was simply additional ports with enough speed to match what Im paying for. With this switch in place, I was able to get several computers, gaming consoles, and streaming boxes off my wireless network; now both wired and wireless devices have improved performance.

I play a lot of Xbox live gaming such as call of duty and pubg. So bandwidth speeds are a must for me. This hub is 100% plug and play and very easy to install. After installing I noticed immediate speed gains. Before I was using an old router as a hub and I was getting 6mbs download speeds. I then switched to a different router I had and was getting 30mbs download speeds. Once I installed this linksys 5 port hub I reached 260mbs download speeds. The speed test was ran on my Xbox and stays consistent. Definitely worth the money for this product if you are looking for an inexpensive 5 port hub
