UGREEN Network Switch,5 Port Ethernet Splitter,High-speed Gigabit Ethernet Switch Hub,Desktop & Wall-Mounting Internet Splitter,Plug & Play LAN Switch for TV/Laptop/Switch/Router/Monitor

This switch has been powering 2 PoE cameras and supplying internet to a WiFi access point, all at the end of 20+ meter run of cable. I'm getting full speed on all connections and next to zero interference. It's easy to setup, has a variety of options for closed or open networks, and runs quiet and cool. The metal housing has 2 holes to attach it to a surface by slidding it onto screw heads and so far it's held well and has functioned as expected. If you want a cheap and durable PoE switch then this is a great choice.

The two most appealing things about this little ethernet switch are its incredibly compact size and its fantastic value for money. Its dimensions are roughly the size of a debit card, which makes it incredibly easy to tuck away out of sight under a desk or behind a monitor for a clean setup. The build is very plastic, but for a device like this, that's a plus - it makes it extremely lightweight and easy to mount with some double-sided tape if needed. While 1Gbps is pretty standard for a basic switch, this Ugreen model maintains those gigabit speeds across all ports flawlessly. I've had no issues with performance or reliability.

This is a super compact switch with excellent performance which (for me) and was attracted to it due to the small footprint and the side power port. A number of TP switches with metal casings have the power port on the back which means for my media unit it takes a bit more space than usual, and this is where this compact switch comes in - it's about the size of a credit card and can handle 1Gbps speeds! However, coming from TP-Link switches, it seems a bizarre design choice by UGREEN to have the Ethernet ports upside down! This means you need to twist the cables the other way which isn't easy if you're using rigid CAT6 or similar cabling, and for me to use this switch I would have had to place the unit upside down. The downside of placing it upside down means that you can't see the status/act LEDs because they're on the other side. Not sure why they couldn't have just stuck the ports the right way around! Surprised to see that no-one has mentioned this in their reviews - but it is visible in the pictures (see attached) so do make up your own mind if this is suitable for your needs. Anyway, I have bought another TP Ethernet switch instead, which will meet my needs better. Overall, though, this is an excellent value for money switch that's super easy to use!

Needed a small unmanaged switch to extend my LAN to my study (wifi not good in this area). Needed two ports for my pc and my printer. The switch itself is TINY and can is powered from any USB port, mine is connected to the PSU for my pc (it has a USB port on one end). Works flawlessly on my Gigabit network and has considerably improved connectivity, allowing fast transfer of data over the LAN and allowing upload to my web site far easier. Fabulous product!!

Feature rich little five slot. For most it's going to be a four port with one dedicated to the router/modem cable if you want net connectivity. Interface is browser based off the default gateway address and you can setup usual admin controls. The vlan feature is incredibly easy to setup and partially graphical in nature. Power cable is a little short but other than that, easy to setup and get going.

This UGREEN splitter is a lifesaver for easily connecting two devices to one port without losing any speed. It’s truly plug-and-play and maintains a rock-solid 1000Mbps connection on both ports, making it much more effective than traditional passive splitters.

Nice and compact and easy to use

Perfetto, svolge molto bene il suo compito

Fonctionne bien.

It lies behind my TV, powered by the USB connection and splitting the Ethernet network connection between the TV and the TV box for better connectivity, where Ethernet is available. Before, TV and box connected through Wi-Fi, but my Wi-Fi was poor and 4K channels used to struggle.
