I'm a student at university and only have one connection to the internet, and having to swap the cables over between my PS3 and PC became very annoying. This does the job perfectly, i can have both my PS3 and PC online at the same time no worries and no problems to report so far. The reason why i have given this product 4 stars however is that if i plug one of my devices into the first available port which is located next to the uplink port, it's as if it treats the device connected to the first port as the uplink, resulting in no internet connection. I got round this problem by not using the first port (X1) on the switch. So if your thinking of buying this switch to use all of its 5 available ports, you might have a problem...
