Luxul AGS-1016 | 16-Port Gigabit Rack Mount Switch Review

An ethernet switch helps improve the overall performance of a network. Essentially, it is a box that connects to the main router, allowing more ethernet ports. A network is like a road to every device connected to it. When multiple devices are plugged in and use Wi-Fi, this clogs the traffic. 

An ethernet switch takes care of the traffic, so there are no interruptions, maintaining speed efficiency. 

Let’s review the Luxl AGS-1016 16-Port Gigabit Rack Mount Switch and how it could be a good fit for you.

Why buy a AGS-1016 for your business?

Only routers control the internet connection, but they do come with a couple of built-in ethernet switches. 

An ethernet switch is handy when your router doesn’t have enough ethernet ports, which is always the case for any growing business. An ethernet switch is necessary if you need:

• To improve connectivity speed
• To install Ethernet ports into your walls for future expansion
• To have multiple devices that might be competing for bandwidth
• To protect the overall corporate network with more robust security
