    No complaints. I use it to link my Verizon cellular network extender, Xbox One, Denon AV receiver, and "Smart" TV to my cable internet modem. No special setup needed, was all plug and play. This replaced a power-line base Ethernet access point. We were experiencing occaisional (once a week?) dropouts in Netflix or online gaming with the power line device. It seems to have cleared up with the new Netgear switch. Only regret is there are no spare ports left. Will need to buy an 8 port if anything is added to the system. Don't forget you need a port for the uplink!

    I've used other Netgear products and have always been satisfied with their performance. This unit is no different. It fits perfectly in my enclosure and has helped distribute ethernet connectivity through out my whole house.

    The router provided by my cable provider only contained 4 slots, with home phone, printers, satellite, and home computers I just needed more space. This product is easy to use and provided the extra space I needed.

    With my home network, I am limited on the number Ethernet ports I have in my router. This box quickly and easily added more ports for other smart home items I have purchased. I did not add any streaming items to this, so I cannot speak of how much it would slow things down. My smart home items work as effectively as they did before being through the switch.

    Good performance, but feels cheap

    This is a basic Ntetgear switch -- use it when you need to "multiply" Ethernet ports. In my case, I needed to join multiple devices to a network extender, and this fit the bill. Pros: Not too expensive, minimal setup, does what it claims. Cons: Feels cheaply made -- nothing but plastic. The snow-white color seems to attract dirt and, after a month, has become slightly discolored.

    This switch is a must have wen you do not have sufficient ports. I have many items that I like to connect directly to internet instead of using wireless and this device is great. The size is perfect.
