    I use these switches in locations that are sometimes pretty bad. (non conditioned spaces) They keep working and provide indication of traffic and status of ports. Nice to use when moving data to new work stations off line or when extra ports are needed during maintenance. Good switch!

    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.

    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!

    The easiest way to add more inputs in a small place. Needed to extend my wired network for working from home and this allowed me to run 1 ethernet cord into a second home office.

    Plain and simple - have a few other 5 and 8 port Netgear switches throughout my house. Bought this one to replace another brand that had gone bad. Paid a few $$ more for business-class reliability (2 people working from home).

    Can never go wrong with Netgear when it comes to networking equipment. And this switch is no exception, works great plug and play for any network needing just a couple of connections.

    I have a StarLink modern/router. Works great but only one extra Ethernet port. Needed two ports. Just plugged cord fromStarLink to NETGEAR and then plugged my two Ethernet cords into NETGEAR. Worked instantly .

    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.

    I purchased this switch to split one ethernet connection from the router between two desktop computers. It was truly "plug and play", and we have had no issues browsing, streaming and gaming while using the switch. Would gladly recommend this product.

    Originally I was unaware of this product, and it was referred to me by a Best Buy associate once he learned what I was trying to achieve. It is a great product and works perfectly. I am glad that I got it.
