I'm a layperson, what does this do exactly? Just seems like it makes one ethernet connection into many. Like a strip for outlets except for internet cables. Is that right? Will splitting them cause...

There’s no way you’re getting POE for under $20, but it sure would be nice.

All the usual suspects are decent options, just expect to pay around $50 minimum for 4 port POE switch on sale, and then the price just goes up from there depending on number of ports/features.

If the Amazon price is the same, why Newegg, with their recent customer service issues?

Wow, nice! How did you get a 15% return; can you explain a little more? I only get 5% back on my Amazon card and wouldn't mind saving a bit more given how much I purchase there.

Yes one ethernet connection to many. Slowdowns are very unlikely unless all the computers utilize 100% of the bandwidth at the same time.
