Bought this to replace a different brand 16 port that stopped passing data. No setup, just unplug ethernet from old switch, plug into this switch and power up. Good to go.

Excellent solution for organizing and keeping up the speed of all the ethernet cables I have coming from all over my house. I am using 11 of the 16 ports and may need it for a couple more. Takes over for the 3 four port switches I was using.

I had to get more extention adapters for my businesses computers, registers and printers. Install was 1 2 3 easy no brainer. I've never incurred any problem using any of NetGear products. Top of the line in its line of performance. Don't settle for less go the best NetGear!!!!

I was considering getting a plastic one with less ports, but this one is so great, it is metal and it has so many ports. I was worried it would be too big, but it was actually quite small, which is a good thing. The support is lifetime, which can't be beaten.

I bought this to upgrade our network at work. We went from three old 10/100 linksys switches to this single Netgear switch with Gigabit speeds. Works as it should, and keeps our data flowing smootlhy. I don't have to think about it very much, and that's a definite plus.

We recently moved and needed a switch with enough ports to serve our house and fit in the junction box.
This switch definitely for the bill. Low profile and low maintenance. We never see any download speed issues. Even when all of our wired devices are all active.

I kept buying these dumb 4 port switches and having all kinds of boxes sitting around by the router and modem and they had issues. This was a great price and now I have a switch that will allow me to plug in everything in a compact switch box.

I bought 2 of these GigaByte Switches to replace a number of smaller/older switches on our network. The speed and reliability of network connection was noticeably improved. A nightly backup was reduced from 3 hours to 45 minutes. Easy to install with no real setup.

These Netgear Ethernet switches tend to last a very long time, except for an occasional power supply failure. In this case broadband speed was increased to GB fiber and it was time to upgrade the switch.

Netgear switches in my experience have been reliable. And easy to setup. I’ve owned managed switches, but this GS116NA was recommended as compatible with Eero Pro 6.

Bought it on sale like I do most things. Wanted to add a switch with lots of room as the two 4 ports were clogging up fast. So happened by this and grabbed it. Netgear switches have never let me down and so far this one is staying true to form.

I purchased the switch as a replacement, the last one failed do to a power outage. The switch wasn’t surge protected, if you have multiple devices to network, this is the switch you should purchase, make sure you surge protect your devices also. The switch is fairly priced also. The switch is a simple plug & play.

No problem setting up right from the box. Connects directly to my router without having to worry about WIFI connection. Great 16 port unmanaged switch with the Netgear name. I would recommend this switch to my friends.

Had a 8 port switch, but needed more ports. This was a easy swap out, has a small footprint and has been working well. I even feel the system seems to be working a little faster since swapping out the switch.

I needed new switch for home network. We’ve hardwired TVs and some laptops to speed through out and reduce traffic on our WiFi network. Super easy to set up and no problems so far.
