Pros & Cons

Manufacturer description

The UGREEN 5 Port Gigabit Ethernet Switch is the cheapest honest way to turn one wall jack into five wired connections. Each of the five RJ45 ports auto-negotiates 10/100/1000Mbps, handles full and half duplex, and flips MDI/MDIX automatically, so you can run a straight or crossover cable without thinking about it. There is no driver to install and no web console to log into: this is an unmanaged plug-and-play switch that works the moment you power it. Per-port indicator lights tell you link status at a glance. It speaks to Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, and iOS clients equally, which makes…

SpecPicks Verdict

SpecPicks scored UGREEN Ethernet Switch using a rating × review-volume × price-fit model applied to published specs and reviews across the networking category. UGREEN's networking lineup sits within the broader category mid-tier; price and specs are the deciding factors over brand loyalty here. Judge it on the specification table and the price rather than on sentiment: check the figures that decide your use case, then put it side-by-side with two or three close alternatives in the Compare tool before clicking through.

Common buyer scenarios for networking of this kind: matching it to an existing build, replacing a failing part, or upgrading from a previous-generation equivalent. Check the spec table below against your current setup — particularly socket / form-factor / power-rating fields — and confirm compatibility on the retailer's listing before purchase. Prices and stock are set by the retailer and may have moved since this page was last updated.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to install software or configure this switch?

No. It is an unmanaged plug-and-play switch with no driver and no setup screen. Connect your router to one port, your devices to the rest, and the indicator lights confirm each link.

Does this UGREEN switch support PoE for cameras?

No. PoE is explicitly not supported, so IP cameras or access points connected to it need their own power adapters. It will carry their data traffic at gigabit speed.

Is it really gigabit, or does it drop to 100Mbps?

Each of the 5 ports auto-adjusts to 10, 100, or 1000Mbps based on what is plugged in, and complies with IEEE802.3/u/x/ab. A gigabit device on a Cat5e or better cable negotiates the full 1000Mbps.

Will it work with my Mac, or only Windows?

It is OS-independent at the hardware level and UGREEN lists Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, and iOS support. Because it is unmanaged, there is no driver for any platform to install.

Can I mount it on a wall instead of leaving it on my desk?

Yes. There are wall-mounting holes on the back of the housing. It also sits flat on a desk, and the fanless design means it makes no noise in either position.
