Review on 🔌 D-Link 5 Port Unmanaged Gigabit Ethernet Switch - Plug & Play Compact Design, White (GO-SW-5G) by Pedro Curtis

A simple but effective device for multiple Ethernet connection ports. I connected this switch to my TP-Link AC750 Dual Band Wi-Fi Range Extender with Gigabit Ethernet (RE210) port, which is plugged into an outlet near my home theater. I need wired connections for the following: HDTV, Blu-ray player, Roku 3, Apple TV, Android Box Media Player, TiVo Roamio OTA and gaming system. With this switch, I was able to give all those devices a wired internet connection and add a faster and more stable internet connection to my streaming media devices. Setup was easy. I plugged the 8-port D-Link into a surge protector outlet and then connected the ethernet cable from the TP-Link range extender to the D-Link switch. This used one of the 8 ports, leaving me with 7 free ports to provide wired internet connection for all my devices. Connecting the range extender to a wired connection was important as it provides a wired connection for everyone else. It goes through the outlets of my house. This setup is a great solution for cord cutters who want to connect smart TVs and streaming devices via a wired connection. I have both WiFi and a wired connection at home, and I generally get about 20% faster speeds with a wired connection — even when using the excellent Linksys AC3200 Tri-Band Smart Wi-Fi Router with gigabit and USB support that households have a large number of devices, a Smart Wi-Fi app to manage your network from anywhere (EA9200) and Internet access at 60 Mbit/s. I highly recommend this switch if you're looking to add more wired internet connections to your home or office, and it works with range extenders that use your home's electrical system.
