Very pleased with this item as it works perfectly and is very easy to set up i.e. plug and play.
I run wifi extenders through the house, ome of which is in the bedroom with various devices (smart TV, PS4 etc) all in the same place. My extender is plugged directly into the tv, the rest was on wifi. I purchased this to try to get all the devices on the wired connection to increase speed and be more stable. This worked perfectly.
Now all my devices are ‘wired’ directly through this device – no loss of data speed, perfectly stable. Thrilled!
You need to connect the box to mains via provided plug, then plug in a wifi cable from the wifi hub or extender into any one of the 5 network ‘slots’ on the back – you can then run up to 4 additional network cables by simply plugging them in.
I would strongly advise it for any whom have a few wifi connected devices in the same place.
Very pleased.

With an ever growing range of smart home devices requiring direct connection to my router, I found that I outgrew the 4 ethernet sockets on my existing router.
I wanted something that was small, light and easy to set up and this has delivered. It comes with instructions and power cord but you will need to buy an additional Ethernet cable in order to connect it to your own router.
Connecting is as simple as plugging in the device with its power cord, connecting it to your router with an additional Ethernet cable and off you go.
Two things of note: (i) instructions state that whatever you plug into your device should not have a cable of more than 100 metres and (ii) you will need to use one of the ports to connect the device to your own router).
Thus far, I havenโt noticed any dip in speed of connection or lag. For the price (ยฃ9.98 on sale) and capability, this is an excellent buy and highly recommended.

I have a bedroom that is immune to wifi signal with no rhyme or reason, to the point that I suspect that it’s Lead lined (room next door has perfect wifi strength). Tried a wifi booster with no luck. I’d solved the problem by running a long ethernet cable under the carpet on the stairs & into the room, but I realised that I needed more than one wired connection. This mains powered little box did the trick – stick the ethernet cable from the router into the first port, then further ethernet cables from remaining ports to your gadgets. Perfect wired connections with no loss of speed. The unit seems well made, and is small enough to tuck away discreetly.
Does the job without costing the Earth.

The only thing that has puzzled me is the ‘desktop’ in the description, which I can only think is either a reference what they think the intended use is or a sort of abstract reference to the (very neat, small) form, which happily sits on a flat surface.
Nothing else has puzzled me though… It’s taken me longer to write this review than it has to unpack, power-up (hub and separate power supply) and connect in my network / patch cables.
Configuration required? None
Ease of setup? Couldn’t have been easier, to be honest.
I’m using this to provide additional (hard-wired) connections for TV, set-top boxes and PVR. With questionable Wi-Fi, having everything running through a network cable just made more sense; but rather than running multiple cables form the hub, this has allowed one ‘tail’ to go out to the living room, then split out connections from there.
This is actually such a great value little product, I can see me looking to other installs where this will offer an equally neat…

Bought this as I have just moved to sky fibre max and the Sky Q router only has 2 Ethernet ports. I need 5 with my household set up with Hive and several other things all requiring individual ports.
I am not a computer whizz so bought this on a wing and a prayer.
Connected it to the router then plugged the rest of my equipment into this. Plugged the power in switched on and my entire network was up and running immediately.
I put this review up for anyone who knows little or nothing about networking who may be switching to a router with not enough Ethernet ports.
I can highly recommend this unit

Having replaced my 10/100 Sky router with a Q hub which supports 10/100/1000 i needed a new switch as well and after looking at the various models i settled on the TP-LINK 5 port, this seemed to offer everything i needed for a very reasonable price
setting up was blindingly simple with only the power adapter needing connecting and then the Ethernet cables plugged in and it was up and running.
testing the various connections ,such as the Sky box, tv and Bluray player they all had a stable connection, all in all this little box does what it claims and is a bargain for the price

Problem: As my Smart Home develops, there is more demand on Ethernet Ports on the ISP’s Router – it only has 4 ports. I have 5 devices, and will probably add more.
I learned about this solution after trailing through pages of information about managed/unmanaged Ethernet Switches, Routers and lots of complicated instructions about how to convert a Router/Modem into Modem only. My head reeling with all this information I went shopping on Amazon for a solution. Most devices I looked at, I didn’t really understand what they did exactly, and seemed to cost a fortune.
Then I found this! Oh, Joy! Not only is this cheap, it does exactly what I need. I connected all my smart Home Hubs, my Printer and my PC and used the existing ethernet cable from the Modem/Router to connect to the TP-Link. Took 5 mins. I did have to spend the next 20 mins “reminding” my Smart Hubs to connect to my network, but that wasn’t hard. Everything works great and I now have 3 spare Ports for future use. So if you…
