Customer Ratings & Reviews

Bought this switch to expand my network to include devices that were running over WiFi. Decided for security purposes to wire things directly to enable greater security capabilities. Switch works exactly as expected as I have come to expect from Netgear devices....

Product worked and installed on my network easily.

Easy to install and let me hook up my internet to the pre-wired areas in our house.

Works as expected: distributes the signal to your ports everywhere in the house. Not much to say. Easy to set up.

Netgear has great equipment. It is my main goto networking equipment.

Works as supposed to and has been giving me great service. With most routers offering only four ports sometimes you need to plug more devices and this product will give you four more ports.

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.

Well made product. Opted of the metal cabinet instead of the plastic one made by the same manufacturer as I have found the metal ones are more forgiving when mounting on the wall. Overall a great product and can’t beat the price.

Purchased to replace an older unit which couldn’t handle the speeds we had upgraded to from our cable provider. Installed without issues and Speedtest showed our network to be delivering connection speeds of 117 Mbps.. our previous unit was only pushing 25Mbps.

Needed multiple ethernet cables commected and this product was easy to install and it works perfectly. Internet speeds for all devices are great!

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.

Just what I needed. Works perfectly. Easy to install and set up. Very pleased

Does what it’s supposed to without loosing too much speed. My pc clocks in at around 970 mbps on gig internet. Good pickup if your router/modem is in a weird spot.

It functions like it is supposed to function. Easy to setup up.

It works as advertised, but I don't know why I need to have a minimum amount of letters for this review.

This switch came in handy when the router went on the fritz. With the addition of ethernet cables of varying lengths we were able to set up a functional wired network in no time (and the price was right).

Needed to split an Ethernet connection between a phone and my Mac. This worked perfect and literally was “plug and play” - super easy solution.

Sounds excellent meaning very quiet and solidly built

Office switch crapped out and left our work computers without internet connection. This little device came in and saved the day! Easy to use, just plug it in, plug in the ethernet cables, and you're off to the races!

With COVID 19 our church had to go online to keep the members engaged. Our internet ports where all being used. The 5-port Net Gear Ethernet port helped to keep our laptop connected and kept us from having to disconnect other devices while live streaming.
