I needed a couple of additional ports on my router and this fit the need perfectly. Seems to be a high quality product for a very reasonable price. Great value!

I have three devices in my office I was running internet to. They were getting 5 mbps. It was frustrating. Changed to this device and I’m getting 75 mbps now.

Needed a couple more ethernet connections after xfinity gave us a new modem and it only had 2. Super easy setup and is working perfectly. it is plastic so we will see how long it lasts compared to the metal ones. But I guess that is the trade off for the lower cost.

It’s fine. I haven’t done any latency testing to see if it is causing a better or worse situation to any other small switches on my network, but it works.

I use netgear routers in both of my homes so when I needed a switch, this one was the obvious choice. It does exactly what a switch is designed to do and does it well.
