    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.

    It was good for what I needed. I was looking for the unit that has the different LEDs to show the speed of each line being used, but they did not have it in stock, so I used this one. It works well, easy to use and install - no brainer!

    Great buy for the price. I needed to run an Ethernet cable into a another room and this switch works great for connecting a couple extra devices. It's compact so doesn't take any up much room on a surface either.

    I have a 150mbs internet service and my wireless system knocks that down to 50mbs. I needed Ethernet to get the full speed. The Ethernet switch allowed me to connect 5 rooms to the wired net -- at 165mbs each. Nice

    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.

    I've used this for almost a month and have found this to be more than I had anticipated in performance and ease of use. This is not very big in size but don't allow that to cause you not to buy. It just works as it should!

    I needed to get internet to my TV, Xbox and Cable box but only had one cat5 cable coming up through the floor. This works awesome, I expected nothing less from Netgear.

    Due to conditions t my home my wireless signal can be spotty at times. Setting up a wired connection seems to have circumvented the connection problems. The switch is small and with enough ports to meet my computer needs. I can have more than once computer online at the same time in my home office.

    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 really like this Ethernet port. I use it to connect my products that either don't have a WiFi connection or that work better with a direct Ethernet connection. The item can be mounted to the wall. It really works great for me, a simple, not do tech savvy person who wanted my smart TV and all the related gadgets to work effortlessly.

    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.
