    Needed a switch for a confined location in a home networking cabinet. This switch worked great due to the small power wart. Getting 900Mbs across this switch within the house

    A wonderful device for expanding your network. Setup is simple, power it up, connect to your router, and you've got 4 more ports. No configuration, no settings, no nothing. Cannot recommend too highly.

    Great Switch, Does its Job

    All that was needed was to take one Ethernet cable that was going to the back of my Xbox and be able turn it into three. Purchased the switch, took it out of the box, plugged a supply wire in and three wires out...everything worked first try. The only thing worth noting is I had an expectation that there would be a port labeled input and then the others labeled output. This was not the case, all I did was plug my supply out of the wall into the first port (labeled 1) and the others out ports 2,3 & 4 and everything worked as I hoped. Good product. Takes up little more space than a deck of cards would. You do need a power supply though, so keep that in mind.

    Netgear is my go-to brand because of the price and quality. The 5-port Ethernet switch is no different. An outstanding product for a great price. Just plug and play, it's that simple.

    I needed this switch to extend the number of Ethernet connections on my Apple Airport Extreme. The Netgear nicely matches the look of the Airport and works flawlessly and quietly. A very good value overall.

    This is a simple 5 port switch. By plugging in the cable from your router you are left with 4 ports. Still enough ports to hook up most items in a home setting. Good product for the price.

    I needed a few extra internet connections, so I headed into the store and this jumped out as just what I needed. It was great price and easy to set up. I would definitely the same one if I needed another switch.

    I bought this switch to replace an aging wireless router that I was using as a switch and this thing works hands down 100% better. Very impressed. It's simple, but works great.

    It's a switch, and it does what it's supposed to do. I already had one switch, which has my AV equipment connected to it. However, having gotten a LaserJet Pro, to go alongside my Epson InkTank printer, I needed another switch to have them both connected (I prefer Ethernet over Wi-Fi, whenever possible). Netgear makes quality product, and the price was right (currently, Best Buy's second cheapest switch). That, combined with it being Best Buy's highest-rated switch, made the decision a "no-brainer". Now, if you're wanting/needing a 5-port switch, quit reading...and go buy it.

    Bought this because my new router didn’t have enough ports. Have 4 devices hooked up through the Ethernet on this and it works great. Great speed.

    I own 3 and use them to connect multiple devices to a single room jack. 2 of the 3 connect to streaming media devices like smart tv, TiVo, etc. I have yet to see a problem with connectivity or speed. Love it!
