Customer Ratings & Reviews

I wanted to hard wire all of my A/V equipment, although all of the components have wireless capability. By hard wiring everything via ethernet cables, from the modem to the Netgear switch, my wireless speeds have not been bogging down, due to having so many devices running off wireless connections, before hooking up the switch. Also, by connecting everything via ethernet, through the Netgear switch, you upload and download speeds should increase drastically, for streaming and updates.

the switch does what I bought it for- connects several devices to the primary switch at gigabit speeds. the form factor is smaller than the picture would suggest.

I recently changed internet providers and needed to get a tv and gaming system off of the WiFi and plugged in directly. I chose the Netgear because I see the reliability everyday at work because my IT department uses it. Both the tv and PS4 setup very quickly and are faster and more reliable. This also sped up our WiFi for other wireless devices.

I recently made the decision to turn off cable. I have a computer in my living room attached to a 70 inch Vizio smart tv. I purchased this product in addition to be able to network my TV, Computer, and Smart Blu-Ray player to the internet. It was strictly plug and play. I was up and running within minutes. The hardest part was running the 100 foot ethernet cable from my router to this switch.

I have a wifi system throughout the house but each unit only takes 2 ethernet cables. I would prefer to hardwire over wireless. I plugged this into the one ethernet port on my unit and was able to plug in items such as Apple 4K, Samsung TV, etc. Works great. Not expensive. No issues.

It works great! Very easy to install. Loved the price. Would recommend.

Needed more Ethernet ports and bought this thing cheap it works great

Upgraded my home network and replaced my 3 routers with the NetGear Gigabit routers. Immediately saw a boost in transfer rates over my old 10/100 Linksys routers, but also I no longer have dropped packets doing large transfers to/from my NAS. Quick and easy to use, just remove the old router and plug this one in. No partitioning or setup required. Streaming movies or video to my TVs is smooth and fast now.

Needed to add a couple of ethernet ports to my home office which had 1 cat 5 drop from where router is located in center of house. Plugged in power, then then the cat5 ethernet cable. Then plugged in additional devices and they immediately connected to the internet. Nothing had to be changed in cable router setup. Could not have been easier to install. was truly plug and play for me.

Small and compact. Plug and play installation and internet speeds stay fast

I needed to connect the various ethernet ports in my home to my router and did not have enough connections. This switch came in handy. It can distinguish incoming and outgoing connections so all you have to do is connect all cables without plugging incoming cable in a specific port. Overall, it has worked flawlessly for 2 months.

This ethernet switch is affordable, reliable, and setup was very simple.

Works well, easy to set-up, reliable and doesn't take up much space.

Easy to set up. Good value. Easy to use. Fast speed.

I got this router to have a wired, as opposed to a wireless connection, to my two PCs, Play Station, and Xbox. Since I have connected it I haven't had any network connectivity issues. The router allows you to get the best speeds on your cable connection, is plug and play and sports a low profile look which is what I wanted. I would definitely recommend this product.

Needed a new switch to run one incoming Ethernet cable to two devices. Picked this one because I'd been told I needed a gigabit switch. I'm no network guru, so wasn't sure what to expect. No worries - plugged it in and everything worked just fine. So far, I've had no hiccups - both devices are on the network and humming along. Saved some $ by not having to get the outside IT pro involved.

Super easy setup and reliable almost a month later. Great speeds

Fast, reliable, cheap... exactly what an unmanaged switch should be!

This unit met all my needs and allowed me to connect multiple devices within my entertainment center, a must when downloading 4k content to my Sony Ultra HD (4k) media player, blu-ray player streaming 1080p contend from VUDU, my receiver and 65" sony 4k TV. The setup was simply plug and play and the init is small enough to be tucked out ofbthe way. It has great performance for a great price.

works great and fast, easy set up, slick and small
