NETGEAR - 5-Port 10/100/1000 Gigabit Ethernet Unmanaged Switch - Blue

My NETGEAR 5-Port Gigabit Ethernet Unmanaged Switch (GS305), took a couple of minutes to setup and helped me to extend my router past it's physical limitations, by allowing me to be able to plug in up to 4 additional devices that use Ethernet cables. Your router continues to manage everything, so there was basically nothing i had to do. 1 minor issue: the box itself says nothing about a wall mounting kit being enclosed, but the instructions included does! Can't beat the price and i highly recommend it's purchase.

Works as advertised - a good purchase for me. I got a new xfinity modem/router and my 6 tb wdmycloud nas drive would not be recognized by the network. I brought this switch and put it in between the xfinity device and the nas drive and problem resolved. The xfinity device only had 2 ethernet ports leaving me 2 short of being able to hook up my nas drive, smart tv, android box and laptop. In addition to resolving my NAS connection issue it resolved my lack of port issue. I have all my connections hard wired for speed and have a free port on the mode/router to add a game system.

The Netgear makes a perfect Cat5+ slitter, with no loss of signal. All steel construction, excellent quality. This is a five-port, but I also have an eight-port I got nearly ten years ago, and it performs flawlessly. Netgear makes the best Ethernet switch, in my opinion.

I was looking for an ethernet switch and found this one at my favorite Best Buy store. Installed at home and up / working fine. I always shop at Best Buy for my electronics and appliance needs.

If you just need more ethernet ports with no bells and whistles, this little switch will give you 4. It's not managed and none of the ports are POE, but it gives you 4 solid ethernet ports. I've been using switches like these for years and never had connection issues.

I just got this in today, and it works fine for the most part, with one minor issue. My laptop was only getting 100 Mbps instead of 1000 on a wired connection. The switch says the light should turn yellow if it's 100. The light on my computer turned orange, but the switch was green - turned out it was a bad cable. It would have saved me some time if the light changed color like it said it was supposed to.

Only one Cat 5e line to my entertainment area, this allowed me to hard line Xbox one x and the tv. Just plugged it in and done.

The switch is easy to use and small enough to hide almost any where. I get awesome throughput with the switch.
