Customer Ratings & Reviews

Our apartment has a community internet with built in WiFi routers in each unit. There are no ports in the router except for on wall port for one Ethernet cable. Since I have multiple devises that are not WiFi this worked great for getting everything connected to the internet. Think of this as a power strip for electrical cords. You run the one ether net cable into one of the ports, then use the other ports to connect to your devices and each device will run off the main connection. I’m using it for my computer, Xbox and smart bridge and have had no issues.

I needed more Ethernet ports than my new wireless modem had do I bought the Netgear 5 port switch. Installation was a breeze and it does exactly what it is supposed to do. It is a nice compact size. I highly recommend it.

I needed a way to split my ethernet connection between 2 devices that are far from my router. This has been an excellent solution to that problem. Easy to use and it is plug and go. Essentially gives you 4 additional ethernet ports.

This an excellent 5 port unmanaged router. Netgear has a great warranty too, also in my opinion you would never need it. Netgear equipment is built to last! Something like this is great for the network jack behind the TV multiple game consoles.

Easy to expand home network to the far reaches of our house. Wired internet is much faster than wifi. Using this switch, I didn't have to stretch 4 cables across my house to hook up a computer, tv and blue-ray player to internet. Just one fifty foot cable.

Provides a consistent connection and reaches max speeds across the ports.

Simple easy to use network switch that works as advertised.

Super useful especially with limited Ethernet connections on my netgear modem! Super useful

I have gig service with my provider. Our whole home LAN exceede the number of ports provided. This Netgear seitch proovided the extra ports required to connect all areas. It was easy to install and we have not had any issues with service.

The NETGEAR - ProSafe 5-Port 10/100/1000 Mbps Gigabit Ethernet Switch was a great price and does exactly what I needed it for. I use to split my one internet connection to a bridged connection to my desktop PC and a weather station that is broadcasting 24 X 7. I have one port left for the future.

This is a great switch. I'm using it to hardwire both my TV and Xbox in the living room. Works great. No lag!

works as described, small and clean looking. second one ive bought.

This Is the best witch i've ever owned. It is so easy to set up and it is lightning fast. I've tried multiple others but this simply is the best.

Works as you would expect have had no problems. Very easy plug and play setup and i get very good speeds even with all the ports full

We needed to replace our old switch and was shown this item. It's been a little over a month and so far working just fine. We bought 2 because we also replaced our Neatgear Nighthawk Router with the new Linksys Mesh and needed xtra ports. Best thing we have done in years.

If you're in need of a reliable, well built and simple switch to enable additional wired connectivity of network devices, this should be your first choice. It isn't remotely manageable but that probably wouldn't be a consideration if you're simply expand your device port capability.

Does what is expected, no speed drops. 10/10 would recommend.

Easy plug-n-play device to extend your wired connections. Just plug your existing, or run a new, cat5-cat6 ethernet line to one of the ports and your ready to plug in your new devices with no noticeable slowdown on this shared line. Netgear is quality you can trust.

What can I say? This is an unmanaged switch that does exactly what I had intended which was to provide me with 4 ports in a location by only running 1 cat 6 Ethernet cable. This is a cost effective solution that you just install and forget, it worked flawlessly for me.

Perfect solution for stable gaming and streaming internet. Just feed a line from the router to split up to 4 devises! Simple and effective!
