    Installation consisted in taking it out of the box and connecting the power as well as the cabling to the five ports. I bought several weeks ago and it has worked without any problems.

    Bought the google home wifi router. The router only had 2 ports. The netgear was suggested to me by a Best Buy associate. The Netgear added 5 ports.

    No problems setting this up. Used it to replace a prior switch that died. Took me longer to get this out of the box than it did to hook it up and fix my issue.

    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.

    I had a similar device that came from a different vendor. When I could not find an exact replacement after the device failed, I turn to my old standby Best Buy and ordered this product. It arrived on time and in perfect shape. Installation was a snap, and the problem was solved.

    Bought a wireless garage door opener but needed extra plugs in order to use door opening app. Piggybacked the Netgear to my UVERSE and it works fine.
