Wow, that is really cheap. Only $17.
$20 gets you eight ports https://www.amazon.com/Ethernet-Splitter-Optimization-Unmanaged-TL-SG108/dp/B00A121WN6/
GigE switching is super cheap.

I got 32 ports 1GigE for about $45 off ebay last year. Used rackmount stuff is CHEAP.
When I first looked at that Amazon page, I confused it with the old Netgear switches. I'm sure that the metal box and the color were no accident.

Yep that linked one looks essentially identical to the netgear boxes of the same persuasion,,,,
However, I would not pay .00002 for anything made by Toilet Paper & company....I've just had way too many defective/dying/dead items from them in years past....

Amazon sells all kinds of dreck, and they don't care a rat's patootie about what they sell.
Last year, I bought and then returned (unusual for me) a TP-Link 550 Wi-Fi extender.
Yea I know they sell anything & everything from bottom-barrel crap (TP's garbaggio) to top-tier stuff (ie..the WD SN850X's I recently bought there), but you just have to do your research before hittin that "BUY NOW" button....
And I also don't make a habit of returning things to them (or anywhere else), but will do so in a heartbeat if it don't work like its supposed to or doesn't meet my quality expectations etc...

and only $23CAN too. i used one in a corner office with only one port that needed 3, worked good and unit feels real solid.
I also do my research, and I also rarely return something to Amazon or any other store. But I will not be played for a sucker.
