(More customer reviews)I found this product while looking for a way to split the LAN at my job into two.We get one ethernet cord running to our desk and that's it.I was worried that my company would have some kind of block to not allow this to happen (they don't allow streaming video, audio, etc... so they block a lot of things).I found the unit on sell (about half price) and decided it was worth the price to try it.I tried it at home at first and it worked great (I have a router at home, so don't really need this at home, but just wanted to make sure it worked at home so if it didn't at the office, then I'd know it wasn't the device).I unplugged the ethernet from one computer, plugged this in and plugged in two computers.So, basically, there was one ethernet cord going from the router to the TRENDnet box and two computers branched off from there.Worked great - no set up needed, just plug-n-play.So, now for the big test: I took it to work.Worked with no big problems - same plug-n-play.The only thing is that when I plug my computer directly to the work LAN, it says the connection at 1 GBPS, but through this device, it shows up as 100 MBPS.I can't really tell any problems so far with speed - everything is working as normal, but now I have online access on both my work computer and my laptop.So, for me, this device works as advertised and meets my needs.
PS - sorry for my non-technical review, but I'm no tech expert!
PPS - don't forget you'll need an additional ethernet cord to make this connection.I didn't think of it at first, but luckily remembered before I finished my transaction and was able to pick up a cheap 3-footer.
