    Great small switch. Clean, decorative. Able to sit on desk or dresser to get internet from central wall jack to all devices on the dresser. I have used in my home to extend ethernet hard lines from a wall jack to the TV, DVD, DVR and Ethernet Backup Drive.

    I've never run into being out of ethernet ports on the back of the modem before, but it happened. I did some research online and for the price, was feeling comfortable with this. Boy am I glad i went with this one. Peace of mind as this was super easy to install and fees very well built. Super super happy!!

    I purchased this to hard wire my online equipment from a 4K Vizio, PS3, PS4 and Roku 4k Ultra. It all works perfectly through this Netgear switch. Quick and simple to get up and running. A must have piece of online equipment to have for a better internet gaming/movie connection when streamline.

    I have Gigabit internet and wanted hard line to all of my game consoles and TV. This simple switch is perfect. I work in IT and I am impressed that it provides fantastic speeds over all the ports. If I get more devices. I’ll definitely buy a second one.

    This is an excellent product. The 5 ports are excellent for expanding your ability to hardwire more devices in your house, whether that makes you feel safer or to take stress off of your WiFi router. Quality made product.

    Well, I needed this switch right away. Searched online for the best price and then went to my local Best Buy store here in Bloomingdale. They had the item, matched the price and I walked out with it. Went back to the office, plugged 'er in and everything worked just as it should. I love that store.

    With my wife working from home along with me this thing saved us! Cox only allows for two Ethernet ports into their router so that didn’t help anything. This gave us the extra ports needed and have had no issues EVER

    I purchased the Netgear 5-Port Gigabit Switch since I had recently changed WiFi routers and needed the ports to support wired devices. This device couldn't be easier to use, just plug it in and connect the wired devices and restart your router/modem and you're done! It's truly "plug & play"

    I upgraded from an older switch because I was capping out at 100 Mbps. This worked for getting me up to the rated speeds my ISP said I should be getting through my computers when plugged directly into the modem.

    I picked this up along with the NETGEAR Nighthawk X4S router, NETGEAR CM500 modem, and the NETGEAR Powerline 1000. All of this is to use with my HDHomerun to cut some cost, and give COMCAST their boxes back. I have no issues with the switch, and its unmanned which means literally plug and play.

    This is simple a plug and play device, plug in the power cord and network cables. That's it! It does it's job just like the cables were plugged into the router. I use this box as a hub for my wired devices to my new Mesh Router system. Perfect the first time!!

    Don’t listen to computer salesman, he told me this would significantly lower speed on line. I spoke to our work IT manager, who noted this product would work well.

    This device is simple to use. Just plug it in and you're done. I have a combination of WiFi and hardwired devices. I've had problems in the past with unreliable switches and routers. This switch has worked great. It doesn't look bad sitting downstairs on the shelf either. After plugging it in, I haven't had to touch it.

    I liked the idea that it’s small, yet very straightforward. It functions great and handles multi-connection with ease. The speed is never an issue and so far, it produces a stable network connectivity. It’s a great buy for a price.

    Switch sits on a shelf with cables coming up from the back. Having the lights on the opposite side of the plugs makes it a clean install while still being able to see connectivity/activity. Cool to the touch with all 5 ports active. Great for SO/HO installation.

    Works great. Our router only had 2 ethernet outs and since our household streams so much I like to to hardwire as many devices as I can and this was exactly what I needed.

    Surprisingly simple; true plug and play. I was adding a router to manage my kids' internet access but had no ports available on my U-Verse provided router. This ethernet switch was perfect. I simply plugged it in, added the ethernet cables, and everything simply worked without any fuss.
