Each port on the switch supports up to 1Gbps speed

Your router will automatically manage your max internet speed so there's no clear answer or an even breakdown since it changes every second -- each device could be using a different amount of your internet speed every second (they don't need max speed all the time)

If you have 1Gbps internet (which is 1000Mbps or 1000Mb per second) then it doesn't mean you're using full speed every second you're online -- your devices will use what they need up to your max speed and your router will handle how its split if you're trying to use more than 1000Mbps total in any given second

Streaming the highest quality 4K UHD video on Netflix only needs 15Mbps (15Mb per second) which isn't much of your max 1000Mbps internet speed:
https://help.netflix.com/en/node/306

If you were doing heavy downloading of massive amounts of data on 2 devices then most likely your router will give about half the internet speed to each device -- if you have other connected devices then it'll most likely give the other devices what they need before splitting the rest of the internet bandwidth to the 2 heavy usage devices but you never know

Yeah, anywhere where I want a switch, I inevitably want more ports than first planned. Keep in mind that a 5-port switch only supports 4 devices (one port is dedicated to the uplink).

I'm not sure I'd bother with a 5 port switch anymore. An 8 port switch isn't much more and gives you more additional ports to be a little bit more future proof.

I have a smart home full of gadgets and 4 pcs.... I only use 4 of the 8 ports on my switch.

I have a desk with 3 computers and one ethernet port on the wall. This is perfect to move some traffic off of my wifi.

These have been great for wiring my home. Have 3 of these using them as extenders for 5 years no problems so far.

So let's say I have an xbox, smart TV, roku, and voip phone on a switch. If only 2 devices are currently being used do they split the traffic divided by 2 or 4? Meaning on 1 GB speed, do they each get 250Mbps no matter what or 500Mbps each?

And what if say 2 wifi tablets are used while these other 2 ethernet devices are using data.

Sorry if my scenario doesn't make sense or if I'm clueless AF in my understanding of it.

A gigabit switch will provide gigabit speeds to all ports regardless of how many devices are connected. HTH.

Got it, but all I have is 1GB speed total. So if I have 2 ethernet ports and 2 wifi devices being used on my router what speed would the ethernet ports get?

Your ISP speed is 1Gigahertz?
These things pull bandwidth evenly as far as I can tell. What I mean is if ports are filled they give priority bandwidth pull to the ports that come before.
It doesn't make sense to think this thing would automatically divide that 1Ghz down to 200mb each for the 5 ports that are there.

I have 5 switches in my house -- a 24-port that distributes Ethernet around the house, and four 5-port switches at specific spots where I have multiple devices. Five port switches have a nice tiny footprint and do have a purpose, and it's awesome to finally see this pre-pandemic price again, like we're seeing with so many items now.

I might pick one up. I had a 5 port in my AV stack in the living room to feed the PS / Roku etc. But it died unexpectedly and I switched those things over to wifi, and honestly I haven't noticed a difference since. But I am gaming a lot less.....

It doesn't get divided. Switches are fast enough that all devices get the full bandwidth. That's compared to hubs from 20 yrs ago that would require sharing bandwidth.

It's similar to how cable modems give everyone the same bandwidth even though the wiring is shared.
