Customer Ratings & Reviews

Nice switch. It’s very lite and has a compact design. Does just fine handeling gigabit internet speeds. Only “complaint” is that it’s not really a 5 port switch. It’s more like a 4 port because one port is being used as an input and the other 4 for output.

This switch worked great for little less than a year then I started to experience intermittent packet loss. I originally thought it was the Ethernet cable but after troubleshooting found this switch to be the culprit. I'm still giving this product a five star as I've used Netgear products in the past and this is the first one to break on me. The reason for this review is to inform other buyers that Netgear requires warranty product registration within the first 90 days of the product purchase. I never registered so I wasn't able to take advantage of the manufacturer warranty. Don't make the same mistake I did.

This is a standard switch - simply plug in what you need and it works. I recommend checking that what you plan on plugging in will work off a switch before purchasing. Some of the new home automation lights, etc. don't work as well off of a switch.

Nice to have an automated switch. It was installed and that its. The wifi system has greatly improved my connections both inside and outside my home. It is small enough to fit right on my computer desk.

I needed just a few additional connections near my home entertainment system and this did the trick. Lighting fast, I'm really getting 330 mbs from my PS4 which I have not seen those speeds before the router.

Great price for a name brand switch that I needed to replace a cheap gigabit switch from an unknown manufacturer.

Pretty easy setup. Just plug and play. This is actually my second switch so I'm familiar with how easy it is to set up. I've not noticed any degradation connected in a series, but I don't do large downloads or massive amounts of video play on my desktops.

I purchased this product for a SOHO (small office, home office) and works like a charm, is one of the best routers out there, is plug and play, no need of setup or difficult configuration, this one was a really good purchase.

Not much to say about it. It gets the job done. Haven't had any issues out of it.

Cheap switch working great for what I needed. Good buy

My wireless router only has one Ethernet connection and I need to connect 3 devices. Easy to setup and use. Plug it into an outlet and connect switch to the router. Connect additional devices and you are done.

This is the second switch that I have bought. It does a pretty good job and I have had no issues. The first one I got was about 2 years ago and has served me well. You could go cheaper and get a different brand but get it on sale and it is hard to beat.

This does everything I hoped it would. I needed extra ports, and now I have them. The flashy lights are an added bonus that make guests say things like "ooooohhhh", and "well lookey at them lights there Bubba "

Netgear is truly the best you can buy when it comes to networking hardware. I have purchased multiple Netgear products and I am never disappointed in quality and ease of use. Highly recommended.

Cost effective and efficient, this does it's job just as it's supposed to - it sits on my desk and routes network data from my single port on the wall to my Mac Pro, external file server, printer, and Avid transport controller. I needed one in a pinch, and Best Buy delivered.

I needed this switch because my Linksys mesh router did not have any additional Ethernet ports. It was easy to set up and has worked flawlessly. I would recommend it if you are in need of an unmanaged switch.

For the best internet connection, I like everything hardwired directly to the modem. This switch accomplished everything without any loss of speed. I have my TV, xbox, and other multimedia streaming devices all hooked up and it's running at top speed!

I bought this specifically so I could add my printer to our home network, allowing us to print from multiple computers and any of our wireless devices. Was able to take it out of the box, hook it up and have it working in a 10 minute time span. Have had no problems with it.

I just upgraded my internet from 50 Mbps to 1 Gigabit and needed a gigabit router. This item works as advertised and allows me full access to the new speed

I wanted more wired connections in my basement as wireless just doesn't work to well. I tried one of those connectors where 1 network cable goes in and 2 come out but they never work. I just plugged in the power cord, plugged in 2 network cables, and I was up and running. Nothing else to do.
