Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

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

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.

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.

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 have many ethernet wires in my home so I needed a big switch. I have fiber coming into the house and this switch is handling it well.

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.

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 "

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.

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.

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 switch box does exactly what it is supposed to do. Set up was easy and began working immediately.

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.

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!

Cheap switch working great for what I needed. Good buy

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.

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.

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.

I have tried other products on the market but the one that I always go back to is netgear, their equipment is high quality and very fast and reliable for a reasonable price! This switch is actually able to convert different types of Ethernet connections!

My house is wired for internet. Each room has one jack but I need two - one for my AT&T U-verse box and another for my smart TV. This is a simple solution that works great. With a 1000 mbps line, wired is about 3x faster than wireless.
