Customer Ratings & Reviews

I bought this to go along with my new Linksys router since there was only 1 port free on the router for hardwired devices. As any basic switch should be was plug and play and just works.

works perfectly. takes up very little space. easy to use.

I have no complaints. It works as described by Netgear. No technical issues so far.

This is the switch that was recommended to us by our in-home consultant to best meet our needs. The product is small and can easily be concealed. Everything is working quickly after a few months of use.

I bought this for my security system because I needed extrs ports the that my router didn't have. Works as advertised.

Needed additional ports for ethernet connections as opposed to wireless. Small footprint.

My office's network switch fried in the middle of the day and we could do no work. Ran to Best Buy and picked up their smallest switch (this product). Swapped it in, no set up besides plugging in the network cables and turning it on. Works great.

I added ports to U-Verse which only comes with four. I can use it in the future at no additional expense when I convert to Gigabit. Strategically located downstream from the U-Verse hub, I added the Roku for better than WiFi performance.

My home mesh network has a limited number of wired Ethernet ports on the parent node. Adding this switch allowed connection of up to 4 wired devices. This switch is the perfect solution.

Right out of the box it is easy to hook up and get started. Works great and is fast.

Needed this switch to maximize my ethernet connection. Easy set up!

Hooked up four items with short cat 5 cables to the switch. This required only one long cat 5 cable to the router from the switch. Do not have to worry about poor wireless wi-fi signals with a direct connection.

Needed to split ethernet cables for upstairs work offices (thanks COVID). No noticeable drop in internet speed with 4 separate connections.

I needed some hard wired data to my basement and this switch was perfect. I can have all ports being used and I do not see any slowdown in data rates! Its also small and compact so I can hide it pretty easy!

I have owned three of the NetGear switches over the years and this one works as good as, if not better, than its predecessors. I would gladly recommend this product to someone needing a small frame switch with big performance.

Never thought I'd need something like this product again in my life but after installing a security camera system in my home I discovered I did. Works fine right out of the box! Gives me the extra "hard plug" I needed.

THIS UNMANAGED 5-PORT SWITCH WORK'S JUST PERFECT-AN EXTENSION FOR MY SMART DEVICE'S!!! A MUST HAVE FOR ANY SMART-HOME-NETWORK,

I needed to expand service at my work area. IT told me to get an Ethernet switch. I reviewed 2 products. The NetGear-5 port Gigabit Ethernet Switch was recommended in the store so I purchased. Easy set up, no issues,

My son is living in a dorm and the wireless was not good. We purchased this to plug in his laptop, TV and some other items. This provided a much better and more reliable connection!

It's just a simple, unmanaged switch. It does the job. It worked really well for my Powerline Ethernet setup where I split the connection between two users.
