How to use

Place the switch on a flat surface near your network devices. Connect the AC adapter to the switch or use the included USB power cable with a suitable 1 A USB adapter (not included). Use standard Ethernet cables to connect your router, PCs, NAS or other devices to the RJ-45 ports. The device is unmanaged and supports plug-and-play operation, so no configuration is required; the switch will automatically detect link speed and MDI/MDI-X settings.

Recommendations

The ES-5500G V3 is intended for indoor use in well-ventilated locations. For best performance, connect devices with Gigabit-capable cabling (Cat5e or higher) when transferring large files or streaming high-definition content. Use the AC power supply for stable long-term operation; the USB power option is suitable for temporary or low-power scenarios.
