    Changed out my "fast Ethernet" switch that I've had for 4 years and got an immediate boost (2x) in my download/upload rates. Should have done it sooner!

    This item is so easy to setup and extends your gig speed network across multiple devices away from the main switch/router.

    The NETGEAR - 5-Port Gigabit Ethernet Switch gives your home the network capacity to handle greater bandwidth. The Wi-Fi would begin to slow when to many things were on, so when I added this for those things at home that can use a network cable, everything begins to run smoother and faster.

    Great price and works right out of the box! Just a heads up it doesn’t come with an Ethernet cord, so you may need to buy that separately.

    We use Netgear at my work, so at home was an easy decision. At work the Netgear switch boxes work effortlessly running multiple network systems with extremely high traffic.

    This switch is perfect for just a few home devices. It gets the job done at a cheap price. If you have only a few devices that need Ethernet this is awesome.

    I switched to a Google nest system and lost all of the ports I needed. This was a simple and cheap fix to the problem.

    Great help in the store - he understood my issued and how to solve it as well as being sure that I had everything I needed to get it installed. Advise me about an additional item I would need - otherwise it would have been another hour's drive back to the store
