Review on RJ45 Female AB 2-Way Switch Box by Anthony Watkins

I work in IT in an office of 30 people so there are always people complaining about wireless or something is working on one network but not another so I switch back and forth at least once a day. Yeah our wireless hotspot sucks, HQ provided it, we had a Netgear WNDR3700 which rocked. However, since I'm not logged in as admin when I disable the wired adapter in network properties, which gets annoying after a while, I end up just unplugging the ethernet cable from the dock. I have a network switch on my desk, I've turned it off occasionally, but it takes a little more work, particularly to reconnect, and I may have something else plugged in that I need to keep working on. works great for my purpose, I plug my laptop into port A and nothing into port B, I can tell at a glance if my laptop is wired. The box seems pretty well put together, it gets the job done as I only have to change it every now and then and it should work. I was going to deduct 1 star for the looks, it's pretty ugly lol but the $12.50 OTOH doesn't get gold plated. What. If cost is an issue there are sometimes deals on decent 5 port D-Link and Trendnet switches, you can get something for $20. If you really don't like the exercise, consider using a network switch. A really useful application is a corporate client I worked with, a hydroelectric power plant on a dam in the northeast. They didn't allow internet access from their internal network, they had an exchange server for email which they connected to a wired switch (something of that nature) that gave it access to the internet on port A and the internal network on the other allowed, but He never had access to both at the same time. There may have been an internal Exchange server that actually stored the email, I don't remember. The switch was probably a relay on a timer to toggle it every X minutes, but I remember the IT guy saying he went to the network room to do it manually. This might sound ridiculously paranoid, but it would help prevent the kind of cyber/stuxnet wars you see in the news these days. Here's to you, Matt S. :-)
