Tenda S105 10/100 5-Port Mini Switch

simple, easy to use
If like me you are looking for something to enable you to have multiple wired connections but only have one Ethernet socket spare on your router then this is the item for you. I have my pc, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and my sky HD box all linked up to it.

This device is plug and play which means no set up is required what so ever, all you need to do is plug the Ethernet cable from your router into socket number one on the switch and then from socket 2-5 just link 4 more cables into your other equipment. Hassle free.

If you need something that will enable faster data transfer between your devices then you may want to go for a switch that is 10/100/1000 but if it's just for standard internet connections then this is absolutely fine.

Plug and Go... For a Bargain Price
There's not much to be said other than to repeat what most of the reviews already say: Plug an ethernet cable from the first available ethernet port on your router, into the first ethernet port on the Tenda 5-Port Switch (which actually means you only gain 4 extra ports - if you have an extra 5 or more devices than you currently have free sockets on your router which you want on a wired internet connection then I suggest looking at a switch box with more ports, you'll find many available here on Amazon for only slightly more money), plug the power lead from the Tenda into a mains socket, and boom: you now have an extra 4 sockets for a wired connection to your internet. It really is as simple as that. There are no settings required, no technical knowledge. It's as plug-and-play as anything gets.

A few points addressing things I read in other reviews before purchasing one myself:

The Tenda Switch box is totally silent. I know one other review here mentions hearing...

Works very well
I am using this in my lounge so that I can plug my raspberry pi and TV into my network. My router is in another room and I use powerline adapters to get the network to my lounge and then this item to split the network once in the lounge. I am very happy with how it all works.
