    The switch does everything it said it would do. All I did was plug everything in and away we go. This was so simple. If you need a switch, this is the one to buy!!!

    Needed something to clean up a number of cable runs. This fit the bill. On run from router and multiple runs from the switch to my systems. Works great. Happy right now.

    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!

    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.

    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,

    This was a replacement for the same model we had for YEARS. It finally just went. It had to be at least 15 years old before it had to have the plug pulled. The only thing that went a little early that was slightly irritating was the dial. But overall, it's got great power, it's efficient, and looks great.

    Been using these for years with no troubles. The white finish is a nice touch, and fits in with modern office and home environments. Never needs power cycling, just sits there and works. What more could you ask for?

    Even though most everything is wireless these days there are times when you need to ensure the best possible speed for your high bandwidth devices. This does it. You won’t have a drop out or latency issue while streaming any content. This can be installed and used by anyone.

    Very easy to setup. If you currently have a 10/100 switch, this is a very easy way to increase the speed of your network and internet access. It is not wireless, so if that's what you're looking for, this product is not for you.
