Q: Does this switch require any software or configuration?
A: No, this is a plug-and-play switch that requires no software or configuration.
Q: What operating systems are compatible with this switch?
A: The switch is compatible with Windows, Macintosh, and Linux operating systems.
Q: What is the duration of the manufacturer's warranty on this switch?
A: This switch comes with a 2-year limited warranty on both parts and labor.
Q: How is the switch's activity monitored?
A: The switch has per-port LEDs that indicate port activity and speed.
Q: Can I use this switch to connect a gaming console to my network?
A: Yes, you can use this switch as an internet splitter to connect devices like gaming consoles to your network.
Q: What is the speed of the ethernet ports on this switch?
A: This switch has 5 auto-sensing 10/100/1000 Mbps Gigabit Ethernet ports.
Q: What does this product do and why would you need it?
A: The easiest way to think of it, would be to compare it to a surge protector. Not so much for the surge protection, but the fact that you plug it into one outlet, and now you have 6-8 available electrical outlets to use. The same with this switch - take an ethernet cable (cable you use for the internet) and plug it into the switch; you'll now have 4 extra connections to the internet available. Or however many ports are on the switch. So if it was a 5 port switch, that would mean one port would be used for the incoming internet traffic, and the remaining 4 would be empty and ready to connect a device to the internet.
Q: Can this be used a a router
A: No. A switch is something you basically plug into a router to gain additional Ethernet ports. A router is needed to make one address from your modem into multiple addresses so you can share your Internet connection with multiple devices. Most routers provide a wifi signal and/or multiple Ethernet ports so a switch is only needed if your router doesn't have enough ports (places to plug a cable in).

Great Performance
I ran cat6 Ethernet through the attic to the living room where my home theater setup resides. I connected my Apple TV 4K, Lg 65C9OLED, Oppo UDP-203, and Marantz NR1710 Receiver. The thing is there are a lot of Ethernet switchers out there and this one for the price is worth every dollar. It’s simple to set up, just plug and play, and provides a solid network hard lined into your system. For the price I find it hard to believe other brands charge up to 10 times more for this same solution. Sure, you could go wireless, but I prefer to save a few hundred dollars. Great product, I highly recommend this option.

Simple, Fast, and Just Works
I ran out of Ethernet ports on my router and needed a simple solution to get more devices wired up. This NETGEAR switch was perfect. The setup was nonexistent—I literally just plugged in the power, connected the cable from my router, and then connected my devices. Everything worked instantly at full speed. It's compact, silent, and does exactly what it's supposed to do without any fuss. For the price, this is an unbeatable value for expanding a home network.
