Customer Ratings & Reviews

Asolutely, the right size switch for my fully ethernetted home. Since purchased it has worked perfectly and supplies all the rooms in the house and the pool house. Couldn't be happier.

I have large house that was previously used for commercial and have been converting the existing cat5 based PBX wiring into ethernet. I was using a netgear 8 port switch but there were stability issues (suspect wiring) but as I finished replacing jacks 9 and 10, I upgraded to the 16port switch. The whole network is more stable now and even through its old cat 5 ( not even cat5e ) I'm getting the full 1000Mbps on most ports...even on connections with more than 200ft of cable. With 400Mbps internet, a gigbit is needed to take advantage of it.

I needed extra ports, as more capacity was developed at my office. Have​ used it for couple months, and have had no issues. Nice little Ethernet switch.

Needed a switch with 14 ports so this netgear worked great for my needs. Easy to install and setup and has been flawless so far over the first month.

Solid switch. Had some dropout issues with an old one and swapping this puppy in fixed it right away.

Needed to purchase a few of these for a client in an emergency, they are holding up well and performing great. And they were at a decent price point too.

Great product, easy to use, does not get hot, handles data seamlessly.

This was an upgrade for a switch with the same number of ports. This one is much more compact and works flawlessly. Netgear has great products.

Solid option if you’re looking for a lot of Ethernet ports. Everything in my place is hardwired and this offered enough connections, leaving me plenty to spare.

Great switch with tons of ports - works great! Def worth the buy!

Great price. Works perfectly as a switch in my onQ connecting my whole house. If you don't need poe then this is a great switch.

Need to update my hardware and simplify it and this switch was perfect size and worked right out box no problem.

Super easy set up, literally plug and play. Took all of about 20 seconds to set up. Switch has been running rock solid for over a month.

Great switch, super easy to use and enough ports to activate every line in my house with wired internet. Small in size so easily fit in wall panel.

The Blue Netgear unmanaged switches are the gold standard for reliable, no-hassle Gigabit switches. I've used the GS105 and GS108 for years. To reduce spanning-tree problems (and eliminate a non-Netgear swtich), I purchased this 16-port version. It's been a month, but so far, so good. And as far as I can tell, I don't see any major spanning-tree issues if I plug or unplug a switch off of one if this one's ports.

Super easy to install, super fast 1gb networking. Automatic network link detection.

This is the fourth Netgear FS ethernet switch that I've purchased over the last 15 years, and I love the durability and dependability of these Netgear switches. Have the FS105, 108, and now the 116 in my home network (the FS105 having been acquired circa 2005), and I gave my brother my other FS108 because he needed a dependable Ethernet switch for his home. Got this unit on sale at Best Buy, so it was an even better value.

I thought I was doomed when my office network was down one Monday morning. My local Best Buy had this product in stock and I picked it up. As advertised, it was a process of simply unplugging the old non-functioning unit and plugging this new one in. There was no software or any programming needed to get it functioning. Very easy. The old unit was a much larger box and had a fan -- this one is much smaller and has no fan which makes it run silent.

easy setup works great had a linksys 8 port witch also work well just not enough ports

For small office applications where you don't need a managed switch, this is an excellent option that you should consider.
