00:00Ever plugged in one more device and realized you're completely out of Ethernet ports?
00:04Yeah, me too, and that's exactly why I went digging through the deals to find the top 5
00:09gigabit switches to expand your LAN ports. All 5 of these are cheap, well-reviewed,
00:14and genuinely worth the money, so let's get right into it.
00:18Kicking things off with the Amcom gigabit switch, and the big draw here is flexibility,
00:23you can grab it as a 5-port or an 8-port version, whichever fits your setup.
00:27It's a smart gigabit switcher with solid RJ45 build quality, it runs cool and completely silent,
00:33and it just works the second you plug it in. At $17.18, with over 4,600 sold and a
00:404.8 rating,
00:41it's a really strong way to start the list. Next up is the 10-5-port gigabit switch,
00:47and this one's from a brand you've probably actually heard of. Every port runs at full
00:52gigabit speed, and it's especially popular for surveillance camera setups, which makes sense,
00:57because it handles multiple camera streams without breaking a sweat.
01:01With over 4,000 buyers and a 4.9 rating, at $11.88 you're basically getting brand name
01:07reliability for pocket change. Number 3 is the unassuming hero and 8-port gigabit
01:13desktop switch with a US plug for just $15.95. There's no flashy branding here, just 10,
01:20100, and 1,000 megabit support on every single port, plus true plug-and-play simplicity.
01:26Do the quick math, that's 8 ports for what some brands charge for 5,
01:29which easily makes it the best pure value pick on this list.
01:33Now, if your switch is going somewhere rough, a garage, a workshop, maybe a factory floor,
01:38check out this Harako 8-port industrial gigabit switch. The standout feature is the DAN rail
01:44mounting, so it snaps right onto a rail and stays put, and it's built to shrug off the heat,
01:48dust, and vibration that would kill a regular desktop switch. At $24.07, that's serious industrial-grade
01:56gear with a 4.9 rating behind it. And finally, the budget king, the Harako 5-port mini gigabit
02:02switch at just $9.49. This thing is genuinely tiny, so it disappears behind your desk or TV,
02:09and it's completely plug-and-play, no config, no software, no nonsense, just 5 full gigabit
02:15ports ready to go. With a 4.9 rating from over 3,000 buyers, at under 10 bucks it's the
02:21easiest
02:21yes on this entire list. Alright, that's the list. All 5 of these switches are linked in the
