Default Ethernet switch/hub/splitter.

Hi and Merry Christmas

I have hardwired ethernet outputs some rooms of the house. However I'm now finding I need more than one connection. I don't usually have to use more than connection at the same time but don't want to keep swapping over cables.

So I just need something that will allow me to connect multiple devices via ethernet but don't need to set up a network or anything else complex.

Is this what I need?

Thanks very much and Merry Christmas

Yep, that's the sort of thing you need. I don't know the particular switch, but the reviews suggest it's OK.

Basically plug in an Ethernet cable from your router and then your Ethernet cables to your outlets into the switch and you're sorted.

Yes. Cheap and quick (gigabyte speeds) and easy (as above, just plug and play).
