    Not much to say other than it is a switch. No performance loss as it plugs into the network. Small and compact. It does what it does and does it well for cheap. Can't complain!

    We needed a network cable in and multiple cables out and this does the trick. Not much to say here. Open the box and plug it in. It works and does what it's designed to do.

    Needed some additional ports when we finished our basement. Simple connection from router to switch, and then the basement connections just plugged in to the switch. Getting roughly 950+mb/s on the Xbox Series X downstairs. Virtually a plug and play device for your network needs

    Netgear switches have always been reliable for me. Never had any issues with the ones I own. Does not cause reduction in speed. Highly recommend.

    Netgear 5-port Gigabit Ethernet Switch works great

    I bought this Netgear 5-port Gigabit Ethernet Switch over a year ago because I was experiencing problems with my new home router dropping the connection for my network attached storage quite frequently. The result was that indexing on the NAS would never complete. So it was always slow or unresponsive. Now I have an always on connection between my router and Ethernet which, in turn keeps my NAS connected. I also connect my other most commonly used network devices through this switch. I have had no issues since I installed this Ethernet Switch. I found it at a low price and it works perfectly. I highly recommend it.

    I needed some extra ethernet ports off my Orbi router, and this little guy fit the bill. It's small and priced just right! Worked perfectly out of the box.

    I bought this switch because I had multiple items to connect in my office and it was easier to run one wire through the house and then multiple from the switch to all of the devices in the office. Works as it should and was a lot more affordable then other similar switches or the cost of a couple more wires.

    Straight forward and reliable network hub. I used it to replace a larger one I had, but this one has the same amount of ports with a smaller footprint which is great.

    This switch is great and does what it should. I am working from home and got tired of manually connecting the internet cable back and forth to my desktop and work laptop. Easy to install. Shipped to house, arrived on time. Great price and availability as usual with Best Buy during these difficult times. Product: NETGEAR - 5-Port 10/100/1000 Mbps Gigabit Unmanaged Switch - White
