I use it to run one ethernet cord from my router through the floor to the basement. I connect it to this switch and all my devices in the basement to it so that they all have an ethernet connection.

It does matter because it takes up more space since you have wires coming out of both sides. It’s more compact to have all cables and power cord coming out of the same side.

Most wi-fi routers have multiple ethenet ports that you can use instead of connecting an additional device like this switch to your wi-fi router.

Need more ports. Need more ports at another location at the end of the run from the router. Need more ports off a wireless client router. And so on.

That makes sense. But because most home users are just going to hide this somewhere out of sight, I don't think it matters too much. Might as well go with the cheaper option.

Faster does not equal more stable and reliable. Less wireless traffic for your other devices can help depending on your access point capabilities.
