5/5 stars
I recently switched to our mobile phone provider for our internet. Their promotional price was considerably cheaper than our cable company had become. I used a router/gateway of our own for the cable connection, however the mobile phone company has their own equipment to use for no additional cost. So rather than use my own router/gateway, I switched to the mobile phone company modem. This is why I now needed a splitter since the modem that was provided only had two ethernet cable slots.
I purchased the RJ45 Network Splitter Adapter 1to4 with limited expectations. This wasn't a brand I instantly recognized, and the fact that it was made in China made me a little hesitant. The price was good, so I thought I'd try it. I've purchased cords, cables, and other smaller technology purchases that don't need brand name backing before with mixed results, so I was aware of what I could be getting.
When I ordered the product, it came in the expected timeframe. When I opened the box, it had very minimal packaging, just the splitter and USB cable in a plastic bag. However, the box wasn't damaged nor did the plastic bag that was inside the box have any sign of damage so the packaging was adequate. There was a sheet with directions on it for how to use the splitter, but the lettering was so small it could barely be read. This particular piece of equipment is almost self-explanatory so the directions aren't really necessary. This product didn't include any ethernet cables, so be aware of that. This product also didn't include a plug for the power source. There is the USB cable that plugs into the AV slot, but it doesn't contain the little dongle that plugs into a surge protector or other plug-in.
Once I had procured some more ethernet cables and an extra dongle for the plug-in, I put it together. Neither the USB that came with the splitter or the splitter itself were low quality. Nothing was loose and I didn't fear being shocked when I plugged it in. It worked just fine. Once it was plugged in, all of the lights lit up and the cables directed the flow of the internet the way it was supposed to go. I didn't see any slow down of speed other than issues that I already had with the mobile phone company connection. I doubt it if I would purchase this particular product again, but only because I was annoyed by the extra need for the power source. I like a minimal amount of cables. Otherwise, the splitter worked just fine. I would recommend it to family. amazon listing
