The 5-Port Power-Saving Gigabit Ethernet Switch from Asus is a networking tool that's an affordable and efficient solution for your home or small office network. This switch features five speedy Gigabit Ethernet ports for connecting computers or other Ethernet-enabled devices on your LAN network. Of these ports, one, the "VIP" port, allows you to prioritize more important or latency-sensitive traffic for applications like VoIP or gaming. The switch also features a power-saving feature whereby a specific port will go into standby mode if a computer connected to that port is turned off. Because the switch is also fanless, it operates quietly in the background. If you need a Gigabit switch at a bargain of a price for your home or small office network, check out this one from Asus.

Comments about ASUS 5-Port Power-Saving Gigabit Ethernet Switch:
I replaced three old Linksys switches with three Asus and noticed internal network performance improvements almost immediatedly. They are definitely plug and play, work as advertised, and are at a very nice price point.
