    I've purchased a couple of these switches and have been very pleased with their performance. They're small and easy to use. I use them in places where I have several devices to connect to a Wi-Fi extender.

    Does exactly what I needed it to. Allowed for extra hard wired connections via my wireless mesh setup that only had one additional Ethernet port per node.

    Small and easy, got it on sale and gave it to my kids to connect a bunch of consoles to the internet. I typically only by Netgear products, so far so good.

    I went in looking for a 5 port switch and found this one. It is very compact so I can carry it in my laptop bag without issue. It allows me to set up my own temporary networks while on a job sites. Very good product.

    I needed to replace a switch that had gone bad, so I picked up this one. None of these are very hard to set up. I like that is very small and uses very little energy. Plug it in and connect the ethernet wires and good to go.

    the store assistant recommended this switch to me as an alternative to a much more expensive fix. and it was a better fix too. I really appreciated his advice and would have never known to do this without his help.

    Netgear 5 is a great bang for your buck. Easy to install, great warranty and support. Actually speak to a human being, what a novel idea. You normally don't this kind of support unless you spend a lot more.

    Netgear always seems to make great home networking products. This one was no exception. No setup required, completely plug and play. I appreciated the integrated wall mount on the unit. Made hidden installation much simpler.

    We needed this because our Ethernet port stopped working, so we had to run a cord over where we needed it, so we used this and it made all the difference, super easy to use too.

    The Netgear switch is functioning perfectly. It looks good, and does not take up much room. I am happy with the Netgear 5-por switch.
