Customer Ratings & Reviews

I purchased this based on the recommendation of the Best Buy employee. I told him what I needed and he was spot on with his recommendation, this is a great product both in ease of installation and value for what you get. I found it to be quite reliable as well. I currently use it in commercial use. Definitely recommend it!!

Netgear is a great company for home or SOHO networking projects. This unmanaged Gigabit switch is no exception. Just plug it in, connected the (not included) CAT5/CAT5e/CAT6 networking cables and expand the capacity of your network to include upto 4 more devices.

Great product, great price, easy to use. No loss of speed.

Simple straightforward installation. Possibly a little slight on instructions, but simple enough for even non network savvy folk to install. Great way to expand a standard 4 port router to accommodate additional networked hardware. Easily accommodating my PS4, TiVo, and smart tv without.noticeably impacting network performance.

I needed an unmanaged switch to split our internet connection to a couple of side-by-side work stations. This is as easy as it gets. Plugged in my Ethernet cable (internet) from the wall jack and then plugged in 2 computers and a printer. Worked as advertised with no issues and no configuring needed. Simple plug and play.

Ethernet switches are pretty much “old tech” these days, but just like my fireplace on a cold winter’s day quite useful. This five-port switch was a great buy. My new Eero mesh devices have only 2 Ethernet ports so I am able to wire my two Tablo OTA DVRs, a Roku device, my Sound system, and a Smart TV, keeping them off the WiFi. Because I have more networked hardware I am seriously considering a second switch. They can be piggybacked easily.

We upgraded our internet package and they sent us a new gateway. Our old gateway had 4 ethernet ports. The new on only had 2. We decided to buy the switch. Was not hard to power it up. I ran a few speed test with all the ports up and running and the speeds were up to par with no lag time.

Unmanaged Gig E switch. If you have multiple wired locations / devices to connect to the internet...All you need to do is hook up the Cat6 cables, plug in the power and you have a simple way to split your high speed Internet into multiple locations

Not much set up involved with this which makes it great for what I need it for. My wifi router is on my top floor and the signal wasn't strong enough to reach the bsmt for my other smart devices. Simply plugged this in and ran Cat5E ethernet cables and off we go.

Very easy to install and use. Just plug in the things you want and it’s ready to go. On top of that it’s very small and lightweight as well as aesthetically pleasing compared to

I needed additional ethernet ports. After a little research and reading some reviews on BB, I selected this one. The price was good, and it is basically plug and play, no real set-up required. I've been using it for several weeks now without one glitch.

I needed to lessen the wifi signal in my home, and by using this hub; it really boosted my overall connectivity. It is easy to setup, just plug and play; no surprise to add to my network. It is really great for those devices that can use wifi, but will operate better with a direct lan connection. I would suggest anyone with a need purchase this item.

This product was cheap, quick to setup and is working well.

I had zero issues with previous Netgear switch that got fried by a power surge so I replaced it with another Netgear switch. Set up was plug and play- plugged it into my router via lan and plugged a desktop and laptop into it. Both get the maximum internet speed (50 mps) that I pay for.

Excellent product. Good reliability and speed. Excellent price.

Love this! I tend to prefer a wired connection throughout my house, especially for heavy data hogs like streaming HD. Plus, wired is more reliable and secure. A switch like this makes it easy to add several more Ethernet ports in a room that only had one.

Works great and is not overpriced! This little device was easy to set up--nearly plug and play. Looks sharp and has a few mounting options. I use this device to bring Ethernet from my router to an XBox 360, a smart Blu-ray player, and ApplyTV and a WD MyBook Live. It even allows the MyBookLive to communicate with the Blu-ray player!

I have always used Netgear networking products due to their good performance and ease of setup. I needed to expand my gigabit wired network and this switch did the job. It looks good, has nice lights to indicate the working ports and keeps the network speed blazing fast. You cannot go wrong with this brand. I highly recommend it.

Plug n play, working good, easy installation, compact

Works great! Replaced and older router with Google's Nest Wi-fi and needed the extra ports to connect all our devices. Setup was a breeze and is working as expected. Also nice that the size doesn't take up much space.
