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

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

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

Does what it is supposed to. Only thing that would've been neat was if the ethernet line to supply unit came in from the back and didn't take up a spot up front. But works good.

Works as advertised - a good purchase for me. I got a new xfinity modem/router and my 6 tb wdmycloud nas drive would not be recognized by the network. I brought this switch and put it in between the xfinity device and the nas drive and problem resolved. The xfinity device only had 2 ethernet ports leaving me 2 short of being able to hook up my nas drive, smart tv, android box and laptop. In addition to resolving my NAS connection issue it resolved my lack of port issue. I have all my connections hard wired for speed and have a free port on the mode/router to add a game system.

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

Super helpful for connecting multiple devices directly to the router.

The switch works great, just like it is supposed to.

This unit is very easy to set up/install and takes up very little room on my desk. I bought it at the advice of a Best Buy associate so I can operate a wired network including my desktop PC (upstairs office), my notebook (downstairs music studio) and my BluRay player (living room). I haven't run the cable for the BluRay yet, but both computers are working very well. I'm using Cat 6 cables to 'future-proof' the system.

Plug and play, nothing to configure. Solid construction. I suppose it is worth a few extra bucks over the cheap plastic ones (this one has a metal case), it will probably run forever. Only downside is that the power port is on the back and the ethernet ports are on the front, but it's not a deal breaker. Also note that there is no way to turn off the flashing lights. Indicators show speed 10/100/1000 for each port.

I bought the NetGear 5 plug switch box when I bought the Google Nest. I have several devices plugged in to my modem and needed another plug for the Nest. It works great. I was able to unplug almost everything from the modem and plug them into the switch box. Now I have more room if I need it. I started to buy one of the larger ones but I was not sure how well this one was going to work. Now I wish I would have bought one of the larger ones.

Quick and easy setup. Netgear products have been rock solid

Works great. Allows me 4 Cat 5 outputs. Small but concise.Netgear

I have several of these as I prefer my key devices be hard connected

Oh man should’ve thought of this a lot sooner. Was able to hard wire tv, pc, and Xbox in the entertainment center with ease. Not noticeable and no lag or streaming issues. Plug and play.

Very good item for the purpose I needed it. Thanks

The review is actually on BestBuy as they were fantastic in the return process. Nothing was wrong with the product, I never opened it as I bought the wrong item but BestBuy was easy to work with as always

Easy to set up and the product line has been reliable. This is the second Netgear Proline switch that I’ve purchased as an add on to an existing one. The older one still works after many years and I expect this 5 port switch to be the same.

This was used at my work, and we never had any issues.

Works perfect!! This is another NETGEAR product we’ve added to our church audio/video system..
