Recommending. Bought this after so much research and stress about what wold work well with our house. Although positioned about 13 meters from the main router (fibre connect), it picks up great signal and has improved data connectivity to the bottom of the garden.

Excellent product. Easy to set up, worked straight away. Discounted price as well, Happy days.

I must say the item that arrived is not the one pictured here, but is exactly the same. So, on to the review...I needed a way to get Ethernet to my home cinema system without breaking the bank on wifi dongles. So I found a 10m Ethernet cable and this little guy and strung the cable from my router (sky) to the input on this hub and then cables to telly, sky box and blue ray. Super easy!Everything works just like it should. No bottlenecks, lots of unsightly wires behind TV cabinet but that is the wired way. For £10 including 10m cable I scored here! You would do well to go this route if you have the other half's permission and don't want to spend loads on dongles... well recommended, just 4*'s though as the item received is not the item listed, but pretty much exactly the same. Oh, the power plug is UK and for some weird reason the plug on the box is on the side... its pretty small and you can wall mount it as well. Seems to be a keeper.

Really good product.

After buying several of these and being pleased with the fact that they worked and were extremely cheap I am now suspicious of how robust and reliable they are. I have a wired network in the house as well as WiFi but rely on the LAN for sharing files and connecting all the desktops in various rooms to the internet.After a storm last week the LAN went down. Fortunately, the only system affected seemed to be the LAN and although the router seemed okay with the internet service running and devices connecting via WLAN, the LAN ports on my router were not illuminated. Connecting various devices confirmed the ports on the router were dead. I also noticed that the TP-Link SF1005D switch next to the router which distributes the LAN to various parts of the house was showing a light on where a cable was not connected. Okay, I keep a spare so changed router and switch. All working 100% again.Today, I lose the LAN to one of my desktops and track the problem down to the same model TP Link switch, but one located elsewhere. Again, the switch shows a light where a port is not connected. Changed the switch and all working again.My conclusion is that these MAY be not as reliable as other models that they make and although they work out of the box, may be more prone to damage from any voltage irregularities in the system.None of my other equipment on the LAN was damaged in the storm, apart from the router and I have two other switches (different models - One TP Link 8 Port gigabit and one Edimax 8 Port ) which were unaffected.I think on the face of it they are a good buy but you have to ask yourself are you buying too cheap? Okay it's only £6 but it's the hassle factor and time taken to diagnose the problem which is the true cost.The problem with a lot of the reviews on here is that they are written soon after purchase and people write them in their warm post-purchase afterglow if it does what it says on the tin or condemn the thing outright should it fail them. There should be a facility to divide reviews into just purchased, after 6 months, 1 year etc to give a true picture of reliability and performance.I think TP-Link are a good brand and I have other products by then which I have had for several years which have performed well but am hesitant to purchase anymore of this particular model.

I have Cat6 boxes behind each TV and at my phone line input, all run to the garage. My ISP has provided me with a wireless hub which has the ASDL switch built in so it has to go at the front door and not in the garage where the other Cat 6 cables run...At present MOST of my devices are wireless however one room is too far away and has no signal yet I want a DLNA client there to stream movies to the TV. Therefore I needed some sort of hub or switch, initially tried an old wireless router with built in hub, that requrired disabling the wifi, then disabling DHCP, then changing its default IP as it clashed with my main router. When it was done it worked but kept disconnecting so purchased this instead!This was ideal as:1, Its very small! really fits in well!2, It looks well, i have it stuck to the wall in the garage, its profile and appearance blends in well.3, It has NO DHCP this was very important, if you have an existing router and you just want to add some wired network capacity you usually dont want an additional DHCP server messing with your network!4, Its fast enough to max out most domestic broadband connections, there are very few scenarios right now where realistically you can say this is not fast enough.5, No setup, its plug and play6, I searched here and other such websites, this was the best value switch I could find and very happy with it.Please note, dont be worried if you look in and see its not using all 8 pins, remember your broadband runs on a phone line which only uses 2!

I don’t normally review on Amazon but for this I have it. Before the extender the speeds I was getting was around 20 megabits per second on a good day and now with the extender than an Ethernet cable my speeds have gone up to 400 megabits per second. For anyone that had WiFi like mine I definitely recommend you get this. The setup is easy as well and should take less than 10 minutes for the whole thing not to mention the price point for this which isn’t that bad.
