TRENDnet Gigabit Desktop Switch, TEG-S51, 5 x Gigabit RJ-45 Ports, Ethernet Splitter, 10Gbps Switching Capacity, Fanless Design, Metal Enclosure, Lifetime Protection

All I needed was an economical way to fan out my Ethernet at my entertainment center. This switch was the perfect solution. I like the arrangement where the lights are on the front panel, but the RJ-45 connection ports are on the rear. There are 5 ports, but that means you can fan out one Ethernet cable to connect 4 devices. One of the 5 ports is your upstream connection to your router. The power supply is a typical wall wart type, and comes with the unit. There is no setup, just plug it in. Worked like a charm.

Nice, small, metal, 5-port gigabit switch. I use it as a desktop switch. Both it and the wall cube are quiet and run cool. Overall, I'm very satisfied with the build quality, performance, and functionality.

This worked great, just plugged it in and everything is working fine. My internet provider spun off its fiber business into a new entity (but still owned it) but now had new equipment, so I had to have a new modem and router installed. They provided which was nice (and even did a WiFi 7 router), but the new router only few lan ports than my old router and not enough for all my equipment (TV, Fire Cube, HD Homerun DVR, Alarm, etc.), so I needed Ethernet switch splitter to give me the additional ports I needed for all my equipment. This is small and was easy to setup. Pretty self explanatory setup. Plugged everything in and everything worked. And still have a couple of extra ports if I add some other items.

Works as described. I like the front leds and rear connections for applications where I can monitor status.

Works great! I also have an 8 port switch from TRENDnet and they both work flawlessly. Great product!

Excellent switch. This has lights on front with wires and power on back. Others have lights on same side as wires. Metal case. Well made.

This ethernet switch is solidly built with a metal case. It also features a hard to find format with the indicator lights on the front and the RJ-45 ports on the rear. It is simple to set up, and there is no software to install. Highly recommended.

So I used this where I wanted the devices on port two and three to talk to each other. They did not. They are isolated. If you’re trying to use it as a temporary fix, it’s fine, but it’s not a permanent solution.
