I use this switch in many ways! VLANs is one huge thing I needed with this switch using 2 different networks within my home is one way for me to learn and with this switch being so cheap it was worth the $60 I spent on it!

[Employee of bestbuy] Pain free setup, options that allow for extra control over your network. It's a great peice of gear for anyone from an average homeowner/consumer all the way to small businesses/prosumers

I have over 16 devices that used my Wifi for internet connection. After using this Gigabit Switch my device connectivity is at 1 GB speed.

Works great, no issues. Plug and play, not much else to say.

Excellent 8 port managed switch that supports VLANs! Easy web interface to configure all the settings. Very similar to the larger managed Netgear switches in an 8 port configuration.

Great switch hooked to my router and hooked all of my home theater equipment to it. Hooked up tv,receiver, xbox series x,apple 4k player,computer, plug and play helped so much with lag on wifi from basement.

I have this and a nighthawk router. Woke outstanding. The WAN Ethernet aggravated x2 is Friggin amazing if you have a homelab or run servers or a network with tons of computers with static ips running docker containers or kubernetes clusters. Highly suggest! Feel like I’m speed racer (the original one)

I discovered my home network wasn't reaching the throughput I expected from some of my devices. (especially for data backups) So, I added this NETGEAR managed switch and a few CAT6 cables to reach my full network speed potential.

I was given an open box item and told it was new. Called the store and they are very confused about what to do. Very poor experience from Best Buy. Device is configured with a password. Cannot access need to do a factory reset. It is physically dirty to the touch no condition for resale.

We recently switched Internet providers and the gateway provided by the new company had only one available ethernet connection. This switch meets our needs perfectly and even allowed us to expand the number of available ports compared to our old router. Setup was non-existent as we just plugged it in, connected our ethernet connected equipment and everything just worked. We run a VOIP system at home for our phone service, so we wanted a managed switch that could be configured if needed. The switch came already preconfigured to recognize and prioritize VOIP traffic, so no configuration needed, although we could still make changes if we wanted to. We are very pleased with the speed, connectivity, and ease of setup.

Very easy to use. Simply plug and play. Great performance. I get full Gigabit speeds on my network between devices. Trustworthy brand. Would buy it again.

Works as for what we are using it for, have not had any connection issues with this device

This is a managed switch, so it’s up to you to configure it or not, but if you choose not to set up the managed settings, plug and play works just fine. I haven’t had any issues with connectivity, and this really helped expand my network. I have a wireless access point plugged into it and so far I have no issues with speed.

Fast, reliable, simple to use, and a great design!

Works great our other one had 2 ports that stoped working (different brand) this one made our hardwire speed faster and ports work perfectly. I don’t know details because my son hooked it up because I don’t know how this stuff works.

Decent little switch for the money. I love that I can segregate ports on their own VLANS on this thing. If you are not a networking expert No worries there is a very simple interface that you can utilize in Netgear's software that they instruct you to download in the documentation that actually make it extremely simple to set up and use.

Great switch with management for this price, wow! back in my day when we walked up hill both ways to school and installed Intel 486 based PC, a unit like this would have been a grand. Works great, don't hesitate. Connected right to my router, for 8 extra ports..

Purchased to replace my old switch that was going bad, and not only did it fix the problem, but works better than the old one. Faster speeds even when going through the switch! Good Purchase

It's overkill if you're just extending your home lan, but it's built like a tank and is very easy to install and manage. It works right out of the box, but if you want, you can dig around inside it and mirror ports, section off a VLAN, or other simple switch management tasks.

Working flawlessly with my whole house network. We have a big workload in our house and this thing is a beast! Never have any issues. Very easy to set up but you need to know a lil on how to.
