Customer Ratings & Reviews

Bought to extend the number of Lan ports from my AT&T gateway. I am not a network savvy person but was able to hook up and use my laptop via the switch. Switch worked fine right out of the box.

I had one Ethernet output from my router, but I wanted 3 fast connections. This unmanaged switch was priced competitively, so I tried it. It works great!

If you have ever been in the market for an unmanaged switch, it is nearly impossible NOT to come across this family of Netgear switches. I have a couple of these deployed in my home and I've deployed dozens of these in the field as well. They just... work. Purchased a new construction home and many of the rooms have ethernet pre-wired. Most stationary devices in my home are using ethernet and I use a mix of these Netgear 5-port and 8-port switches depending on the device load. There are TVs, streaming devices (5 Apple TVs), computers, gaming consoles, smart bridges, NAS, printers, mesh nodes, AV equipment (receivers, power amps), etc. all running through these switches and haven't had any issues with them. They are also great options for the small business segment. In fact, they are marketed for business use and come with a lifetime warranty. Most residential networking equipment these days are housed in a plastic chassis. The metal case certainly gives a premium feel in your hands over plastic and I personally like the simplicity of the design. My significant other disagrees and does not like the way they look. However, no complaints from her about buffering when she's binge watching her shows in 4K. Great option at this price point. Highly recommend!

Purchased this 5-port switch for a client, to replace one that had seen too many lightning strikes. Have always had good experience with Netgear equipment. I like that it's more metal/less plastic, and the lifetime warranty. Very robust and well-supported equipment

I have several of these on my home network, they are easy to set up and you can connect up to four devices to it. Wired connections are faster and more reliable than wireless, so when I can used wired I do.

It is a nice size, and it does not slow down the speed at all. It works just as advertised and I can't ask nothing more of it.

Netgear Switch works great. Needed a reliable product and it works.

Needed a few more ports for plug in devices, this is compact and delivers the signal. Easy install.

Great basic switch if you are in a pinch. Full 1GB speed.

With a little tech know how, hooking this up was a breeze. Fits perfectly behind my TV and serves all my wired in needs from my game console, to my TV and computer. Inexpensive and it gets the job done.

This is a nice little switch. Setup is simple with no worries about which port to use - all are active and switch automatically. I bought this so an internet connection could be shared between a desktop computer, a Blu-ray player and direct TV box. Very easy to use for novice users - there is no need for the switch to be managed since this is just a simple 5 port switch.

This Ethernet switch was recommended by our Geek Squad technicians and it was very easy to install and works great.

New Router that we got from Xfinity only came with two slots, and our previous router that died had four slots. We were using the connection from the router to the tower, as well as two other computers in the house hard wired to the router as well as a Nintendo Switch. When we brought this home and realized we were short two ports. we realized there was NO WAY this new setup was gonna work, so after doing some research online, found out about this, which ironically is ALSO called a "Switch". Brought it home, connected all the Ethernet cables up to it and voila, just like nothing had ever changed, plus we have an extra port now for another gaming system if we want! Great price and works perfectly!

It works just as advertised. No issues. Would buy again if i needed it.

Reliable! Relatively inexpensive. For the job!!!!!

This is amazing for my apartment provided internet service which only has 1 ethernet port on the router. It has allowed me to connect multiple pcs, with no speed loss or latency degradation. Another huge pro- It is literally plug and play. There is no software to set up or anything.

Perfect size and very fast working pace Very easy to use

The ethernet switch is easy to install and works flawlessly. The switch is designed well and is compact and unobtrusive. It's has 5 ports which is more than enough for most users.

Works really good. It helps to connect all my 3d printers on to the switch and not have to worry about wifi disconnecting. I would recommend this product.

Does the job! Not much more to say. Nice little unmanaged switch.
