Customer Ratings & Reviews

This five port switch is tough and fast. I like the fact its metal and not plastic. Works fast too

Was easy to set up and use. Reasonably priced and performs well.

This product is small and very simple to use. Has 5 ports for ethernet.

This Netgear 5-port GBit switch is the simplest LAN switch available that will not give you any headaches. Not to mention that it fits the bill to match the latest technology when talking about high-speed internet access. Make sure to upgrade your old network switches to be able to enjoy online gaming big time.

This is the perfect switch if you need extra ethernet ports for your home network or small business. Easy installation.

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

Excellent plug and play device. Netgear switches are always reliable.

We have ordered a number of these switches to extend the network in our office. We only have a couple wall ports to each office, but some of our employees need to connect multiple devices. This switch is an easy solution to that problem.

Have a few of these throughout the house usually around media areas (TVs, Receivers, Streaming Boxes). Things are bullet proof and always work as expected. Very simple plug and play devices. Would highly recommend for any area where you have more than 1 device that could benefit from an ethernet hardwire.

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

Limited documentation but it really does not need it. I was reluctant to buy this as all the reviews I read on the internet sounded good but were clearly reviewed by people using tech jargon that I don't understand. I was worried about my doing the install and it not working or having to pay someone to install it. It was idiot proof. Anyone can do this. It is truly plug and play. I very highly recommend this product. It is a bargain!

Needed a small, easy to use unmanaged switch for a gaming setup. Have 2 other switches just like this throughout the house (we are a wired house for connectivity). Simple and effective. Haven’t tried to test port speeds yet…but no performance issues on end user devices, so no complaints.

I used this switch to set up my entire home network and it's been a game-changer! Highly recommend for its ease of use, reliability, and performance.

This product works very well. It's very fast and it was very easy to connect. I have 2 of them connected together and I haven't noticed any drop in speed from connecting directly to the modem or through these devices. I have 8 computers I'm running and it's great for what I need.

Switch is perfect, however, this is the professional version so it was more expensive. Replaced with the basic switch and worked fine.

Worked as expected and reduced the bottle neck on my home network nicely. Keep in mind that this works as a fanout of a home network router. So, I took the ethernet output port of my cable modem and placed it in one of the ports on this switch. I then placed the rest of my wired ports in the remaining ports of the switch. The cable modem's internal router handled the DHCP duties and managed the network both with in my wireless domain and this wired domain. it was real easy. No network experience required. Just connect one port to your modem/router and the rest to your PCs, printers, TVs or whatever you want to connect via a ethernet cable.

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.

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.

Five ports in a surprisingly tiny box. It's tiny, but also unexpectedly hefty. Looks, feels and performs like a cut above the normally expected quality. I'm very pleased. No performance issues or installation issues, and I don't have any reason to expect any issues later on. A nice little hassle-free problem solver.

Plugged it in, hooked up a couple ethernet cables, and it worked right out of the box! Gotta love a simple product that just does the job it's designed to do. Netgear has really made great strides in their products over the years and this thing is stellar. Highly recommended.
