Customer Ratings & Reviews

i bought one of these many years ago, and it worked quite well util i needed more capacity - i recently bought another one for a friend because i knew that the setup and use would be easy, and that it was both reliable and small

Perfect Ethernet switch, easy to set up, very compact, and has given consistent and reliable speeds to all things plugged in.

Simple setup as you would think. Perfect for the space

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!

Works perfectly for what we need in the house with multiple PCs and devices!

- I've used these little 5-Port Switches for 20 years at work in industrial settings, where high heat, high humidity and hard use is normal. - Even though I've installed dozens of these devices, I can count on 1 hand how many have gone bad. - These are simply the best value in a 5-Port Ethernet Switch.

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!

It’s Very fast and easy to set up. Super simple to use.

perfectly solved the issue with my computer, and the extra ports are convenient for future usage

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.

Excellent product. Very reliable! Great for plugging in multiple devices to Internet connection

easily added more ports for an ethernet-heavy household

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.

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

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!

Netgear 5 port switch is very useful for connecting multiple devices that need ethernet.

Straight forward device that is exactly what was needed. Always trust netgear switches.

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.

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.

I needed a simple unmanaged switch and this Netgear product has worked great for me. I just plugged it in, made the ethernet connections and its worked without any problems.
